Yes. It doesn't matter anymore though. The flickr leaks yesterday were supposedly intentional. This was someone being stupid, possibly USA Today. Once someone breaks embargo everyone pretty much follows suit.

The original link at USA Today has been taken down so someone is probably getting backhanded by GM right now.

This is why we can't have nice things. Some DA has to ruin it for everyone else.

Kind of dramatic for something that is going to be released in a day or two anyways isn't it?

The embargoes exist for a reason, the manufacturers want to make sure that you have all the relevant information in the form of spec sheets and a press release in addition to photos. That way you don't end up with bad first impressions simply by being mistaken or misinformed by only seeing photos. It's not uncommon for manufacturers to leak teaser photos like the ones posted here however.

I have photos and information for a reveal tomorrow up on a different tab in my browser as we speak but I'm not posting it. It's a matter of journalistic integrity. IMO if you leak anything from any manufacturer you need to be fired immediately.

Can you give a hint where the front turn signal is? As someone else posted earlier, I can't figure out where it is.

FenwickHockey65 · 03-25-2013, 09:45 PM

Honestly have no idea. I haven't seen B-roll footage of the car yet.

OH! I think I figured it out. In the pics the headlights aren't on. The sides of the projectors look like there is a small halo ring (I could be wrong) I bet that's what blinks.

Just a guess.

Can you honestly call it a "leak" when the manufacturer publishes the photos to a sharing site intentionally to drum up interest?

KMPrenger · 03-25-2013, 10:16 PM

Back looks a tad dated, but the rest...I love it.

This CTS has taken on more of a refined, classic feel but with modern aggressive styling thrown in (almost) all the right places. The current CTS is an attractive car, maybe with a bit more sport, but this one is all grown up.

Great job Cadillac!

Wow, loved the look of the old CTS, but this seems to a huge improvement IMHO. It really looks like a true competitor to the Mercedes E Class, Audi A6, and BMW 5 series now, but has added style and aggressivness over those, really love it.

shaffe · 03-26-2013, 03:18 PM

the more I look at this car, give it to me in AWD with the new TT6 and im sold.

Russo · 03-26-2013, 03:20 PM

i like the way it looks

GretchenGotGrowl · 03-26-2013, 04:00 PM

I don't care for the LED lights that run by the headlights down to the bumper. Way too much for my test. The rest of it look real good.
