Default cadillac cien

http://images.google.com/imgres?imgu...%3Den%26sa%3DN


does caddy have any plans to release this? Lines of side profile remind me of the R8. I have the movie The island on blu-ray and the car looks unbelivably gorgeous!!

I've seen that website.

I believe it's a Dutch(?) design studio. They've done a bunch of transportation concepts for many manufacturers, including Lexus a while back and even Ducati.

Honestly Cadillac should make the Cien and the Sixteen, show the Europeans they can go into the supercar and ultra car market.

GM doesnt have money right now for low volume sellers. I personally dont care what it looks like. If its american I wont even consider it (unless I had a job at the service department for GM). GM, FORD, AND CHRYSLER Steer clear

umm if they got the xlr from the cien concept, then it explains GM's continuous trend of ****ty production designs.

I dont get it. Why is it they cant bring the car as is? It would sell out in a heart beat.

Same as the chyrsler me412 supercar. That thing looked amazing as well. Yet they never brought that to production.

And to think these executives are paid big bucks, yet think its rocket science to actually build these cars that are guranteed hefty profit providers.
