CTS Coupe spied again…this time in profile/front
March 7, 2008 - 12:03 pmAutoBlog.com has spotted the new CTS Coupe undergoing testing. This time we get a view of the side and front end (disguised, of course).
Oddly, it seems that the rest of the world has just noticed what we saw in the C&D spy shots a few days back…no exterior door handles.
Yeah guys…we noticed that – but thanks for the additional eye candy. Oh, and they also seem to have forgotten that this is how the XLR does things as well (mentioning only the Corvette as a precedent for this layout within GM).
Of course, we would notice these things, wouldn’t we? 
Check out Autoblog’s pics and not-so-insightful commentary on the CTS Coupe over at:

The Coupe is expected to be a 2010 model year – which would mean early 2009 at the absolute earliest.
More likely is when the normal 2010’s go into production (July/Aug 2009).
Thanks for the info. Maybe Cadillac has come up with some new technology to open and unlock the doors. Remeber they have been a leader in the past for such inventions.
I don’t think it will be bluetooth because it is easy to hack and not too secure. Could be something similiar like a rfid tag. They could also use a card to start the car and eliminate the keys all together.
Vinny,
The tech to open the doors is proven…there should be a pressure switch on the inside of the door, within the opening at the trailing edge of the door (where you’ll stick your hand).
As for bluetooth – I think bluebaby is talking about bluetooth as a means to integrate a cell phone with the car (like in many other luxury cars). Cadillac goofed by releasing the 08 CTS with no built-in bluetooth capability…they have said this will be corrected for the 2009 model year (and certainly should be available on the coupe as well).
Care to comment?
Please hurry, does that mean this September it comes out? say yes also bluetooth?
thanks
