Looks very nice. If it stays true to the design that they leaked on 60 minutes earlier this year, then this will be one hot looking Caddy (inside and out)!!

Though aggressive looking and probably a sporty drive, I could never get with the idea of sporty Caddy's. Just seems so wrong.

That car needs some more plastic surgery.

Its interesting but why didnt they make it actually look even.

it looks like the actual bumper, lights and grill are seperate from the actual car, from the shape it has.

It looks as though I can push a button and the car will contract into a small cube like shape that'll fit in your backpack.

Another car who's designer was influenced by SUVs. That is an imposing face. I think it will remain a hate it or love it car.
Love the interior pic there, 10 times better than the current interior. OMG is that a ****?????

I've never liked the CTS styling, this makes it even worse, imo.

that pic is only partially real.

overall front still looks good, if Cadillac cleaned up the sides and rear it could be a sweet looking ride.

Overall the segment is awefully crowded, not enough room for everybody.
