This actually doesn't look that bad. But unfortunately it's a gm product.

Like some Cadillacs of a bygone era, this thing needs a 3" drop in the rear. I like the overall styling but why bother with rear glass if all you can see is the top of the trunk.

It is strangely appealing. I'll reserve final judgement until I see it in the flesh. I'm not liking the yellow calipers however.

Needs more trunk. This looks vaguely Honda-ish, like a Civic Coupe on stero-er, vitamin B-12.

I personally think it looks like the designer stared for a few too many hours at that Countach poster he had on his wall in 1985. I might be interested in a V version of the coupe though somewhere down the line. Like maybe if I double my current salery, or make 50% and move back to depression USA (Michigan)

Meant salary. Stupid non-editable posts, grumble grumble.

This is the shape that the VW Scirocco should have been
although its weird that GM made this car have hatchback styling but incorporated a small trunklid....I can definitely see this being a replacement for the XLR
in V series form and black paint

I think the designer ran out of space on the paper, hence the awful (IMO) back. Kinda like the old BMW Compacts or the short-arsed C series from Merc. Coupe my ass. The name 'Coupé' is elegant, the product isn't.

If you are going to go for the look, might as well make it a hatchback. A hot V type Cadillac hatchback would be different.

I miss very badly the days when windows were more then just slits. All of these new higher, narrower ones make the cars look bloated, and make it tougher for shawties like me to see out. Too much slab on the side.

I'm liking the general direction of the styling, but I have concerns about blind spots with how the trunk deck and c-pillar are situated. I also agree with others' comments about the hatch. Go big or don't go, man.

It'll look better in black, as that'll mute alot of the busy details on the front end.

Visibility=FAIL, but at least no one will ever mistake you for a bimmer or a Merc. Those cars are business suits. This car says, "suit plus earpiece".

Cadillac designers have a tough job. A mid-size coupe from M-B or BMW is a no-brainer, and a Jag coupe is given sports car cachet.

But the hurt of a 1985 Coupe de Ville is too fresh in the mind (apologies to aficionados of ivory landau).

wow, and Eldo.

actually, I really really like it. I haven't sat in a CTS since the redesign, but the first ones turned me off with low-quality switchgear. If that's been dealt with and the production version looks this good, I'll try again.

And I know we've been through this before, but shouldn't this be a "CTC"? Or perhaps an "ETC"?? I always loved mocking those poor Eldos that inherited the new naming convention at the end of their product cycle....

I don't like it, myself. I'll just take a CTS-V sedan, thanks. :)

Better that they err on the side of daring, rather than turning out amorphous yawn-mobiles like Hacura and Texus.

Gimmie gimmie gimmie... Love it, so long as they stay true to the concept, which looks promising enough from the spy photogs, and gimmie a strong power plant and I'm sold

It looks like a Scion.

Looks like a BIG ASS IN HEAT.... ugly

I still say that grill is for skinning deer.

Everything about the design is great EXCEPT the back end. It looks like a velvet painting of J. Lo's rump filtered through the eyes of Picasso. Bleh.

@RoninianHoon: "I still say that grill is for skinning deer." ...LMAO

I think it is the best looking American car I've seen since the Ford GT was axed. If I was in the market for a vehicle of this size and price I would take this over any offering from the big German 3 based on looks and assuming all else is equal.

Can you imagine how big of a hit this car would've been as a Chevy Citation circa 1982 instead of the car they actually released????

Badass! Cole Trickle rejoice! GM's back.

...anybody got an extra bandaid?
I cut myself waxing the new Caddy.

I like it. Its the only car from Detroit in the last 25 years I would even consider over a BMW/Audi. Oddly enough, my biggest complaint is THE Caddy badge. It just screams 'old Fart!' in my mind.

I'm with Jimbobjoebobwhatever. I like it but the ass end doesn't do it for me. Needs a little more trunk and not so ass-in-the-air.

yeah looks like a hatchback, whats the deal with the recent design of rear ends with a that gradual sweeping rear window? seems to me its a lot of glass for not a lot of rear visibility.
