Earlier this Spring, I wrote about two amazing Cadillac CTSs, that I thought were about as cool as cars could get. One was the CTS-V station wagon, the 556-horsepower holy grail of car-guy cars ("Look!  We can drive to OSH, pick up 6 bags of Turf Builder, and be back before the commercial's over!")

Well, now I have stumbled across a CTS that'll get even more attention.  

Behold, Caddy's new CTS Coupe.... covered in 350,000  Swarovski crystals.   I don't recall seeing the Swarovski option at the dealership. For years, I have told anyone who'll listen that Cadillac should be held as a shining example of how a Detroit manufacturer can reinvent itself. I guess I should have said blinging. (For those who are interested, alas: this CTS at the Qindao International Auto Show appears to be a one-off. On the plus-side: they promise the crystals stay on in the car wash.)
