The new CTS Coupe is due to arrive in showrooms throughout the USA some time in spring 2010. Cadillac are keeping their options open about a market launch in Europe. This two-door model bears a strong visual resemblance to the design study presented at the Detroit Auto Show in early 2008. At 4.79 metres in length, the 2+2-seater takes the marque's current angular line of styling one stage further. Striking features are the front windscreen sloping at an angle of 62 degrees and a large, almost horizontally inclined rear window. The American designers have dispensed with conventional door handles, preferring touchpad technology to open the vehicle. Underneath the elegant bonnet is a 3.6L direct-injection six-cylinder engine pumping out 311 horsepower.

At the 2009 Chicago Auto Show, GM will be showing their new concept car, the Corvette Stingray and it will also be seen during the new Transformers movie. The vehicle looks very futuristic, while still showing elements of the original Stingray Racer from 1959. Transformers director Michael Bay was so taken with the original that he was the influence behind this concept car. Whatever type of shape-shifting the vehicle will come up with in the course of the movie will be seen when this blockbuster premieres. You can get a taster in the Galleries and also in a video.
