The final production version of Caddy's CTS Coupe has been unexpectedly revealed in the pages of GM's Viability Plan - a document presented to the US Treasury yesterday in support of its call for billions of dollars of taxpayer funding.
The production CTS Coupe bears a close resemblance to the concept version revealed last year, with only minor changes to the glasshouse -a solid 'blacked out' B-pillar replaces the frameless window design of the concept - and a slightly less swoopy front end that seemingly shares all its components with the CTS saloon. The effect remains suitably dramatic, with razor sharp lines accentuating the car's powerful haunches and almost flat rear deck.
The official photograph published in the GM plan is accompanied by few new details, although the document does confirm the CTS Coupe will arrive with a 3.6 litre V6 mated to a six-speed auto transmission when it hits US showrooms in 2010.
Chrysler also presented its Viability survival plan to the US Treasury yesterday, this time with a sneak preview of its next generation 300 saloon.
The Chrysler 300 and Jeep Grand Cherokee are both due to be relaunched next year, and Chrysler says the new models will improve revenue prospects on their arrival. Apparently the 300 is new 'inside and out', and will feature a 'best in class' interior with unprecedented levels of 'connectivity'. More importantly it will still be available with a HEMI V8 (with cylinder deactivation) and an all-new V6 offering greater economy.
