Driven: 2011 Cadillac CTS coupe
2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe - Cadillac Luxury Coupe Review - Automobile Magazine
Art, science, and practicality.

The Cadillac CTS coupe is a car for realists. Sure, it looks like a concept car that took a wrong turn leaving the convention center, but, in fact, it's an entirely logical and even conservative step in a brand renaissance that's changing course. After a decade in which Cadillac reached for the stars with sexy halo models and pie-in-the-sky concepts like the Sixteen, General Motors' luxury division is adjusting its ambitions to reflect new realities. So, whereas Cadillac's last two-door car, the now-defunct, Corvette-based XLR, was an ambitious, low-volume sports car with an oversize price, the CTS coupe is a natural progression of the brand's most successful model. Since it shares its sheetmetal from the cowl forward and almost all of its mechanical components with the CTS sedan and wagon, the coupe is an easy way for GM to target a segment currently dominated by BMW, Infiniti, and Audi.inline_mediumwraptextright26855348/reviews/driven/1004_2011_cadillac_cts_coupe1004_04_z+2011_cadillac_cTS_coupe+front_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue

2010 Spyker C8 Aileron - Spyker Exotic Sport Coupe Review - Automobile Magazine
Meet Saab's crazy new papa.

Spyker, the ten-year-old Dutch automaker, is one part plucky and four parts crazy. Its first effort, the C8 Spyder, was something of a rich Dutchman's Dodge Viper - a rough-edged brute of a sports car with an interior inspired by World War I fighter planes. Having built about 260 cars without showing a profit, Spyker went out and bought a notoriously troubled premium car company, Saab.inline_mediumwraptextright32322555/reviews/driven/1004_2010_spyker_c8_aileron1004_02_z+2010_spyker_c8_aileron+front_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue

2010 Lexus LS460L - Lexus Luxury Sedan Review - Automobile Magazine
The LS remains the purest expression of the Lexus philosophy and is just as appealing today as it was back in 1990.

Given the LS has always been the ultimate Lexus, I've come to expect nothing less than the utmost in luxury, refinement, and technology at a reasonable price tag. I didn't, however, expect it to be a relentless force in deep snow.inline_mediumwraptextright27217817/reviews/editors_notebook/1003_2010_lexus_ls460l_sedan1003_04_z+2010_lexus_lS460L+front_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue
