I like all of it so far. The CTS is a great car so hope its an improvement.

Looks good. Cadillac is really stepping it up.

Looks good! Just like with the ATS, Cadillac stated that they would be "Toning down" the Arts & Science design a bit to be softer, little more rounded off for sales in the Chinese/European markets. Those markets complained that the 2nd gen CTS design were "too edgy".

I liked my blissful ignorance. Now I want to gouge my eyes out, but the image of those monstrosities has been seared into my brain. I guess I'll have to drink until I kill those brain cells.

LOL, to me the Caddy's look like something a 50 year old with a useless **** would drive. Not a young professional... No amount of turbo charging or horsepower with fix that for me. Here I thought the current V looked great with its angles, now they are all going to be the same car it seems...

I take it you didn't like the Ciel concept?

I thought it was one of Cadillac's cooler modern concepts

I like what I see so far. Kind of hard to get the whole picture when all of the shots are close ups. I think it looks sporty and they did a good job differentiating it from the ATS.

Should have a few more around 10:00 tonight.

It's not so much that they are all going to be the same, just going to more of a Corporate Cadillac face. Just look at BMW, their lineup looks the same with the 3-series (Small), 5 Series (Medium), and 7 Series (Large). Gone are the days (for any company) where your cars look totally different from others in your lineup.

I like the ATS, and if I was in the market for a sedan I would get one. With a nice set of wheels and drop they really look good

Maybe by time the ATS-V debuts I will be in the market for one.

I understand what you are saying about Cadillac. I grew up around a LOT of them. A lot of family members had different ones: Sevilles, Devilles, Broughams, Fleetwoods, etc.. None of them were "sporty" or for "Young Professionals". They were for older, more established buyers.

But I think the change actually started with the early 2000's STS. It was one of the first to actually address good handling. The CTS was the first Cadillac I can acutally think of that was geared for younger buyers from day one (the Cimarron will NEVER be mentioned/considered). The XLR was cool too.

Suicide Doors on that Ciel would be cool but I think it looks like it wanted to take on the Maybach

KMPrenger · 03-24-2013, 06:41 PM

I saw some spy shots a while back when Jalopnik leaked them, but it didn't show a whole lot.

That said....Holy Sheet I love this!!

I really love the ATS front and side profile, and I may just end up liking this even more. The aggressive front, combined with that interesting hood is killer!!

Not sure if the rear end is a good fit as far as the aggressive nature of the front, but we'll see.

Those rims on the car in the first couple shots is also awesome. If those are 20's...I think I'd rock them on my Camaro if I could! lol

You guys complaining about wood interior....I'm sure the quality is fantastic. Also I'm sure their are other options besides wood. Don't freak out.

Good stuff here.

Why is it that GM finally started puttinh LED lights on a large number of their cars and they decide to go with the obsolete 2005 style "christmas tree light" look that everyone abandoned in favor of uniform lighting with a diffuser (like the Halos in the Camaro)?

Looks awesome.

Pretty sure these are the same technology. GM pretty much lead the use of light pipes and LEDs. They just haven't received the credit for it. Current CTS had light pipes front and rear from the onset. The Escalade has had available LED headlamps (not just running lights) for several years now.

Not sure what you mean by "Christmas Tree Light" though.

That's a bold design. I love it!
