Finally - what Saffron seats look like
January 11, 2010 - 2:31 pm
GM has finally decided to give us an idea what their new Saffron seat trim in the CTS-V Coupe will look like.
This certainly lightens up the all-black theme and helps offset the smaller glass-area of the coupe.
Also, do you like those sporty seats in the CTS-V? We just found out from Dave Caldwell, Cadillac spokesman, that Cadillac is doing a trial run of CTS’s in non-V guise that will be available with the upgraded seats as a test to see if folks that want the sportier seating but can’t swing the whole V-series trim can now have the nice sports seating. As you may remember, Cadillac stated with the standard coupe that the CTS-V seating would be an option. This is the first we’ve heard of the seats now being available in the more sedate CTS versions.
First spy shot of the new ATS?

burlappcars.com has published this clear spy shot of what appears to be a smaller-than-CTS sedan only slightly disguised.
This appears to me to be a very far along ATS sedan.
Given that the alpha-chassis ATS is supposed to be a 2012 model, it is reasonable to expect that this car would need to be all but done now in order to see production in early 2011.
I’m liking what I see.

CTS-V Coupe Details released ahead of Detroit Show
January 5, 2010 - 10:19 amUPDATE: All the high-quality photos of the V Coupe
Cadillac unveiled today details on the new CTS-V Coupe.
Of note are a new interior color – Saffron interior option that takes inspiration from the CTS coupe concept interior.
The V Coupe carries all the unique attributes of the CTS Coupe with the same upgrades we have all come to know and love from the CTS -V sedan, including it’s piano black interior accents, unique power-dome hood, as well as the rest of the V-series trademarks such as the mesh grill-work.
The Coupe does have a rear track nearly 1” wider than the sedan – which provides both a more sporting stance while potentially helping handling (though we’ll have to see some official ‘Ring times to know for sure).
Expect the V Coupe to go on sale in early summer.
