personally, i would have gotten the sedan. it's way better looking. something bout the coupe just irks me weird. however, in general i do prefer sports sedans.
i assume this means the blue zo6 is gone?

Overall, I think it does have some nice features for its' price-point. Whether people like it or not, I have had a lot of people stop me to talk about the car....much more than I expected. I think Cadillac did a good job with this car but it does have a few quirks that I would change.
Cons-
1. The "polished ebony" trim is a dust magnet and I'm told scratches very easily. I will address it sometime.
2. Steering wheel controls are nice, but the stereo volume needs to be on the left side and the cruise control on the right.
3. Most of the interior materials are nice with the exception of a few knobs that don't seem up to caddy standards.
4. Not sure I dig the electronic parking brake.
5. Factory Brembo pads dust a lot (being fixed next Friday).
6. Why the fuck does GM use Bose crap? Even though the system sounds surprisingly good....the proprietary nature of Bose crap makes upgrades a pain in the ass.
7. The engine bay is crappy plastic everywhere.
Pros-
1. I like most of the styling....more so on the inside.
2. Deceptively quicker than expected (0-60 times of 3.9 seconds).
3. Mag-ride is impressive.
4. Brakes work better than Z06 brakes
5. I can bring kids if I want
6. Pretty good navigation....better than the Infiniti and Acura.
