Default This may be sacreligious to admit here,

but I sort of like it. I think it has an F-117 look to it, similarly angular and faceted and such. I'd much rather see a CTS on the road than one of Bangle's debacles.

That said, I'm not about to go out and actually buy one.

Default Couldn't agree more. As for the 100MPH down to 50MPH

I found out the hard way how well the car handles during a really quick decel. I had a truck decide to move into the third lane just as I had accelerated from 60 to 90+. I had to slam the brakes and move into the left shoulder next to a center concrete barrier. I was amazed at how well the car handled during a total brake slam. I know that if I had been in my old nissan I would have either hit the wall or the truck. Thanks AUDI!

The blocky sides make the wheels/tires look really small to me.
