I lke it from the side, actually, but the styling to me is also 180* off- the taper to the profile looks like the rear should be the styling for the front, and vice-versa. It is very clean from the sides also, and then it gets all busied up abruptly. That's really the styling cue I dislike- the clean, subtle lines of the sides then erck erck erck abrupt radii leading to radical angles. It's a confused styling cue to me, but then again concept cars typically show off multiple things and so that was probably very much intentional.

I agree, something like the Ciel was meant to be dissected and used as different pieces (styling cues) than as a whole car coming to production.

The point that he didn't like is that they spread a bunch of individual LEDs across the surface of the light in a line and they look just like the "fairie lights" on a string. This was the stylists way of appealing to luxury car owners need for saying saying "HEY LOOK! I HAVE LEDS AND YOU DON'T, SUCKERS!!!!" Soon, every autozone tack on LED light adopted this style, and luxury cars dropped it like a hot ball of burning magnesium! They now use lightpipes and diffusers to even the light out across the lens, rather than showing all the pinpoints of light. I don't hate it so much on the tail lamps on cars, but for DRLs and marker lights, it looks crappy. By the way, I believe that Cadillac was the first car maker to use LED taillights on the DTS back in like 2000 or 2001. I think I remember reading that. |

Still embargoed. Even though that's gone to hell by now.
This is why we can't have nice things. Some DA has to ruin it for everyone else.

Just a random thought.... where are the front turn signals? Beautiful car... Absolutely stunning in IMO. But that's the only thing I'm confused about... where did they integrate the front turn signals? I mean I've stared at the headlights and those running lights for like 10 minutes trying to figure it out... but I'm drawing a blank lol

Still embargoed Fen? These were leaked on Flickr, and I got them from Motor Trend. Man someone slipped up big time to let these all leak!
