My biggest gripe with the CTS is that the concept drawing was looked very nice, but the production model came out looking 'pudgy'. The S&T theme in the XLR is very nice and looked very much like CTS concept drawings. Lookie here:

CTS production:
See how the front end of the CTS drawing was much more angular and sleeker looking? The CTS production looks likes a brick. Another disappointment is the relatively heavy weight and low 220hp combination makes it one of the slowest in its class. Add more insult to the package, the fit and finish and material used is subpar (typical first year model GM) to the rest of its class that even Bob Lutz admitted to and won't sell it in Germany because of this.
