Prior to the 2011 model year, you could get your CTS with 19” summer tires.

Well, apparently enough buyers wanted the 19” ‘big-wheel’ look without the absolute need to swap tires for the colder months. In response, Cadillac is now offering Goodyear’s RS-A2 all-season tires on the 3.6 performance and premium trims as a $850 option (above the 18” wheel option).

Look for these wheels and tires to be available on the 2011 CTS sedan and sport wagon starting immediately.

Between split launch events (one for the standard coupe, another for the V coupe) and releasing the car early to dealers – Cadillac is doing a great job making this the ‘week of the CTS Coupe’.

Now we have first drive impressions of the V Coupe:

The folks over at Jalopnik have posted a shot of what appears to be a production-ready CTS-V Coupe casually parked in Oberlin, OH.

This may simply be an engineering car being driven about sans-camo since the car should be hitting dealers relatively soon.

If you can’t get enough CTS-V Coupe deliciousness, take a look at:

Not much more here than a photo of the run by MT Editor Angus MacKenzie – leading into their coverage of Cadillac’s announcement of the non-V being sent to dealers…but do you really need another excuse to see a CTS-V Coupe doing its thing?

We didn’t think so.

The Attainable Exotic

Exotic car, super car, race car, sports car – all have specific meanings in autodom. Many bring with them expectations of performance and price, often with associated meanings that pertain to how difficult they are to live with as well as expense to acquire and maintain. The common makers that come to mind include Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini. However, there is a sub-genre of sedans and coupes from more mainstream luxury makes that take a somewhat pedestrian car and elevate it to something more. Done conservatively, you end up with something akin to the classic muscle car – a big engine stuffed into a a small package. Done with skill, you get something that transcends anything you might expect and becomes an exotic in sheep’s clothing. The CTS-V is one of the latter.

The CTS-V starts as an off-shoot of Cadillac’s mid-level CTS product family, but ends up both as an exotic that you could drive every day and the one true flagship product sold under the ‘wreath and crest’ today.

We were able to drive the CTS-V Sedan twice recently, once during the Rocky Mountain Driving Experience event (where manufacturers allowed journalists to ride and drive, some in controlled racing environs, several of their products) and then again for a weekend of dedicated testing…yes, I know, sucks to be us.
