A blacked out CTS-V in the work garage. Not sure I like the look on this car.

I dig it.

I saw a ATS coupe at the gas station yesterday, black with tinted windows and stock rims, and man that thing look GOOOOOOOOD.

Hard to make the ATS coupe look not good.

I’ve never really liked Cadillac’s styling.

I’m generally not a fan of white cars, but it definitely works on the ATS coupe.

That’s fair. To each his own. I like Caddy’s current styling language the best of all the mainstream luxury brands.

True, it’s a sexy machine.

Love it, such subtle aggression.

That’s kind of how I feel about the CTS and ATS. Aggressive and classy at the same time.

I think that’s the only thing that could save a white car from boredom.

It just occurred to me, if anything is the modern successor to the Trofeo, it’s the ATS coupe.

I think the Trofeo was a different concept of luxury, one that’s all but disappeared from the new Cadillac. The Trofeo was not about performance, like the ATS is, but about getting there in roomy comfort and style.

Not digging the paint honestly. There’s a guy on my walk that has a black-everything ATS-V and I think it looks pretty good.

The Trofeo actually handled pretty well. My dad loved that it was comfortable and relatively fun to toss around. I think a non-V ATS holds pretty true to that. They’re really comfortable, and very stylish.

I think in this instance, I like the badges left the way they are, probably because I just think the Caddy shield is so cool.

They did, in fact. They weren’t made specifically for performance, but they still performed.

I’ve never ridden in an ATS. I’m glad to hear they still make comfort a priority.

Yeah, it actually is an ATS-V but it looks like the owner added more black styling than what comes OEM.

My take as well - I think this would be pretty sweet if he had left those alone.

I think my local dealer had some with blacked out trim on the lot, some kind of package.

The smoked tails don’t look good on the car. They should be bright like jewels.
