2012 Cadillac CTS V Coupe
One of the selling points of Cadillac’s superb coupe and sedan was that even modestly-engined models could be ordered with a row-it-yourself gearbox. Buy a Performance or Premium package CTS with the 3.6-liter V-6 engine, and you could select either a six speed manual or a six speed automatic. Even base, 3.0-liter equipped cars could be ordered with a manual transmission, which gave Cadillac bragging rights and the ability to counter sales of European sport sedans. Competitive products from Audi and BMW gave buyers the option of a stick or a slushbox, and including a manual transmission option was key to Cadillac’s market positioning (even if most buyers opted for the automatic). That’s changed for 2012, and if you’re looking to buy a 3.0-liter or 3.6-liter Cadillac CTS with a manual transmission, you’re out of luck. Insufficient demand for the manual transmission has forced GM to cease production, since it’s simply not cost effective to build cars that customers don’t want to buy. Since there’s no significant difference in other mechanicals between the 2011 and 2012 cars, you may still have luck shopping dealer inventory for a manual-transmission-equipped 2011 CTS coupe or sedan.
The change doesn’t impact Cadillac’s CTS-V models, which continue to be available with either the six speed manual or the six speed automatic transmission. Even the CTS-V Sportwagon can be ordered with a manual transmission, making it the only 556 horsepower, row-it-yourself station wagon on the market today. Ironically, the CTS-V’s record Nürburgring lap time was set in an automatic-equipped car, with the transmission in “Sport” mode. Sure, the automatic is faster, but it’s no where near as satisfying to drive.

Lexus LF CC hint to new IS and IS Coupe
Lexus maintains its tradition of exciting concept cars lined in position. In Paris, presenting the Japanese Lexus LF-CC, a coupe with more perspective than you might initially expect. This is indeed a portent for the new Lexus IS. And a section of them!
The current generation of the Lexus IS stands since 2005 at the dealers. The model was refreshed in 2010, but that surgery could not prevent the age even more on the poor sales results press. But there is improvement! That is, if we enthusiasm Lexus LF-CC presents somewhat take over. With this concept car, which its world premiere in Paris, Lexus light a corner of the veil as the successor to the IS-going.

Family Face
Also this concept is now strictly held by the L-Finesse design language designed. This Lexus is developing a family as we face the manufacturer have not seen before. Indeed, Lexus Audi goes chasing them through the design right from the front barely distinguishing it. And yet we see in this LF-CC even more extreme forms than we have seen before. This is expressed here in -- front and rear sides with aggressive grille and air orifices and small, elongated light units both front and rear LEDs are completely built. At the bottom of the rear bumper sports a real diffuser and even in the flank is a wind deflector. Since the LF-CC is a coupe is moreover right side, additional to its fullest.
Hybrid
it is in line with expectations: under the hood is Lexus Hybrid Drive. In this case, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with Lexus power not yet specify. The same is true for the combined power that by means of the electric motor is generated. On CO2 emissions is one thing clear: that is anyway under 100 g / km.

New IS and IS coupe
Conceal its plans with the sticks Lexus LF-CC no. Indeed, let them know that the design is used on the new D-segment models of the brand. And with models meant not only the well-known four-IS, but also an IS Coupe. If you have a little look back at how Lexus concept cars in recent years of the show floor to the production have developed, you can make conclusions what this LF-CC happens.
