Not especially, not seeing myself owning one of these. Although the roominess and overall performance is good, that's about it for me when it comes to the CTS. The Escalade-derived/non-aero styling, mediocre reliability/quality, high curb weight are all non-pluses to me. But that is just my opinion and I respect that people have different preferences.

ya reliability is always an issue, I really want to keep my car for a long time and not have to get another car every 50k miles.

For me, the CTS is in that category of sometimes I like it, sometimes I don't. There are times I look at it and marvel at it's one-of-a-kind styling, modern and futuristic look and presense on the road.
Other time I look at it and think it's kinda goofy. No problem with it's interior quality and overall fit and finish. A few nip and tucks around the headlights and shoulders would do a lot for me. The grill could use some work as well. Slap some nice wheels on it with a drop and it looks way better.
The other problem is the Cadillac name. It justs seems so old. Mercedes is older but Caddy just seems old.

I like the styling of the sedan, coupe, and wagon. But, to me the cabins feel tighter than my old 04 CTS and much tighter than my old 06 SRX. The spotty reliability of my past Sigma platform cars, especially the SRX, pretty much eliminated them, including the STS, from serious consideration.

I like the styling of the CTS. It's definitely different than anything out there. I kind of curious as to how much longer they will be keeping this body style. It's already been out for a few years and they just released the wagon and coupe, so I would assume that it will be around for at least another 3-5 years.

I think the Sportwagon, for several reasons, is one of the best-looking cars on the road today. I recently did a full-review of one.
