Am I the only one that thinks the rear of the CTS coupe just doesn’t work aesthetically? Perhaps if they finished off the rear with a shooting brake or something a bit more svelte.

Yeah, it’s ugly as sin. Yes the interior made me throw up a bit in my mouth. but let’s think about what you are getting: a V8, manual, RWD car for less than $10k with a lot of options from the aftermarket AND you don’t care if the swim team uses your front bumper as a diving board.

I’m sorry Tom but there are only 2 reasons to choose an Alltrack over the Sport wagon. 1) Green Exterior 2) Dark brown Interior
