General Motors' Cadillac brand has long aspired to be 'The Standard of the World,' and for a period, it was. Over the last four decades, however, innovation, consistency and quality haven't been hallmarks of the brand. Now, as the auto industry faces some of its bleakest times ever, Cadillac is preparing a new model onslaught.

In the recent past we’ve seen the unveiling of the new 2010 SRX crossover as well as the 2010 CTS Sport Wagon, and by May next year the sporty CTS Coupe will arrive in showrooms – in both standard and high-performance CTS-V guises.

The information was revealed buy a GM spokesman who spoke recently with TheCarConnection. The spokesman said the two-door CTS would get the 2011 model year designation, and that it would share powertrains with the CTS Sedan and the Sport Wagon. The Coupe had been due for a release this summer, but GM's bankruptcy resulted in many product planning changes.

For 2010, the CTS lineup gets GM’s new 270 horsepower direct-injected V-6 as the new base powertrain option, while the former 3.6-liter unit is now optional.

    Guys, i saw this on saturday and let me tell you, the pictures just dont do it justice. the CTS is a gorgeous car... even for a sedan. but this car is legitimately hot. I'm extremely excited that GM is going to go ahead with this, and i dont even like GM.

    Can't wait. This vehicle may cause me to buy my first GM product ever. I'll be looking for it on the auto show circuit.

    Nice looking car, but Cadillac can ditch the honeybee interior...

    Plain UGLY. Looks like they borrow a whole lot from the Pontiac G-6 coupe. The sedan looks a whole lot better.

    ^Are seriously messed up in the head? Not a single componet on this car is shared with the G6 coupe. They are not even on the same platform. You obviously know nothing about cars. Get your facts straight before you comment!

    "Looks like they borrow a whole lot from the Pontiac G-6 coupe."

    Yes, I see that....
    ...like those tires and the fact that they used steel for the body - MUST be from the G6!

    Wow....that 3L V6 is getting the horses the previous gen G35 was getting. Albeit torque is pretty normal for this engine size, that base engine seems to be pretty good. Impressive. It would be nice if the restructured GM could overtake Toyota.

    Cool, one of best forms of Cadillac's edge design so far, the CTS family it's almost completed, all they need now it's a convertible and they can start working on the next gen BLS with RWD, and bring in the US for God's sake. I want this coupe with the 3,6 V6, in black.
