Update: See our full CTS Coupe image gallery here

Here comes the sexiest Cadillac in decades…

The CTS Coupe and it’s V-Series brother are scheduled for introduction in 2010 as 2011 models. The base coupe – if you can call a car with standard 304hp DI V-6, available Recaro seats (previously exclusive to the CTS-V sedan but available on all coupes), as well as rear or all-wheel drive could be called ‘base’.

2 suspension setups are available, 1 with 18″ all-season tires and rear or all-wheel drive, the other with summer tires in 19″ and a performance suspension (rear-drive only).

The CTS Coupe concept’s look and features have come over intact to the production model (as spy photos have shown). Notably present are the electronic door handles as well as the unique lower fascia that echos that of the concept and is more agressive than that of the sedan.

2″ lower and 2″ shorter than the sedan on the same wheelbase with a more raked windshield and incredibly flat rear glass, the production model drips with style that GM of years past would not and could not have built.

Expect the coupe to come in with a base price mid-way into the sedan’s range as there appears to be no 3.0l DI engine option (yet) as there is with the less-sporty CTS models. So, pricing should be in the mid-40′s to start.

Also, fully expect all-wheel drive to be available with the automatic only – sorry to those of you who like to row your own and live anywhere that gets snow.

The line starts here, boys and girls.

The Detroit News has learned that GM has approved the Cadillac Converj for production.

The Converj, as you might recall, was a swoopy coupe with the ‘Voltec’ electric/gas engine ‘range extender’ drivetrain very similar to that in the Chevy Volt sedan due in showrooms in about a year.

Expect the Converj to command a higher price than the Volt’s approximately 40k sticker, to be a sportier car overall, and to get similar city mileage to the Volt’s 230mpg number on the EPA’s new system for rating electrics.

Unknown is what the production car will be called or if it will come to market with 2 or 4 doors.
