the raked rear window and chunky C-pillar make for obstructive blind spots

From the driver’s seat, there’s the expected C-pillar blind spot
Automobile Magazine
In addition to the strong structure, the CTS offers plenty of safety equipment, including: six airbags, traction and stability control; available all-wheel drive (standard on the SPort Wagon); available parking sensors; and an optional rearview backup camera.
The one shortcoming of the CTS, particularly the Coupe, is rearward visibility, which can be compromised due to the chunky rear roof pillars. The Sedan is the least compromised in this respect.
Conclusion
Safety scores for the 2013 Cadillac CTS aren't in yet, but we expect it to continue to return top marks, but beware of the limited rearward visibility.
