Cadillac CTS test drive another upgrade hacker coupe
Sunday, October 26th, 2008With the new generation CTS bolder than the previous design and character, but only if such a model car version is an absolute regret, and now finally make up for this sorry, CTS sedan version of the interview to run this character domineering American cars more alternative.
Said character, CTS is very violent, and CTS-V is more violence, but to make people feel from the shape on the existence of such violence, or rely on this coupe.
CTS sedan version of the physique sturdy but smooth, and the CTS sedan version of the first run is the solution to the problems faced by two less doors, how to C column lines more reasonable question. From the appearance point of view, this diamond-cutting in order to maintain the style of Cadillac, CTS sedan running back looks a little bloated, feeling somewhat less able. Same face and sedan version of the former, while it also maintained the characteristics of CTS style. In short terms from the profile, CTS sedan coupe running does not use accustomed to using the streamline shape, but the style of straight flute angle allow people to easily see it is a Cadillac, a downright American products.
Apart from changes in shape, CTS sedan ran a need to face the problem - after the sports car into the practicality issues such as whether the space is also practical. In this respect, the Audi and BMW are two typical cases can be described as BMW While eliminating the second row doors, but rear space is not much affected, the average adult to sit in it can also maintain a more comfortable position , while the Audi performance completely shift the back of the rounding, only suitable for children or baby.
Unfortunately, Cadillac and Audi use the same idea, rear space narrow and compact rear passenger window and also affected the vision, comfort is not good, so if you someday need to take the CTS sedan chair to run, if not grab the driver's seat, and we should try to secure the co-pilot position.
Interior of the CTS sedan version to maintain the style, innovative design with technological sense, of course, the shortcomings of CTS sedan chair race also exists in the process and the overall style is still learning, like European rivals, seems too few connotations.
We talked about CTS sedan chair race in front of the rear space is not enough comfort, design, Cadillac's designers have chosen two layout, the middle and the BMW 3 Series sedan to run as the center armrest, providing storage space.
Run sedan version compared to version 5 has been shortened body length, which is the proportion of the body to make more reasonable and make the changes, and Tread has improved, a shorter wider body can bring a more stable dynamic response . Of course, only enhance the tread is not enough, so designers have chosen a more sturdy this anti-roll bars, high-speed cornering, can provide better support of the frame.
19-inch wheels also contributed to the high flat does not mean the loss of comfort than in highway driving, the tire can be filtered out some of the bumps and comfort in an acceptable range, and in turn, the high flat tires than the power grip and support can give the driver the same confidence, you will find even if you used some more crazy action, throttle to the greater, the horns are still not able to limit the tire.
Driving, the Cadillac is not the same as U.S. trucks that drunken stagger, solid feel preferred European models tough, solid and stable, full of hanging tough toughness, rapid rhythmic compression release, high-speed roll when cornering very small, the driver need only hold the steering wheel, as long as you have confidence on the CTS sedan to run, it will use practical actions to make you feel what is fun to drive.
Power on the 3.6L engine is very good, fully capable of running for CTS sedan has become the wild, but may still be some people feel inadequate, so GM is also considering models equipped with a supercharged V8, indeed, it is hidden in the CTS- section V in the body that weapon. Nurburgring circuit before the results have proved, so consumers could be assured for its capacity.
For consumers, the coupe actually represents an attitude, although some models like the CTS, as sedan version already has enough performance, but still some people to let themselves become more individuality, unique, and the CTS coupe is prepared for such people, from all point of view, it already has such strength.
