    That ascending line running along the side just doesn't look right. Is Cadillac going to throw the CTS interior into all their other models?

    Overall, not bad at all.

    Whats the point of this? Hey look, heres an SUV with a "fuel cell" badge. lolz.

    The design flows quite nicely, but meh.

    Betcha the production version doesn't stray too far from this..Think Solstice, G8...

    yup... i wonder if it'll get a rwd version of the 3.6 D.I. 2 mode system going in the vue though.

    I was thinking BRX, myself...

    This concept looks like it was inspired more by the original CTS than the 2008 redesign. Quite frankly, I hope Cadillac sticks with this design motif rather than going with the softer slab-sided "STS" look as seen on the current STS and 2008 CTS.

    Don't all car companies strive to have a cohesive design (interior and exterior) between models? Audi, VW, Bimmer, Lexus, Jag, etc., all have very related themes, between model lines.

    The lines are very similar maybe they should call it the Re-VUE? Just kidding! Very nice work, but maybe they should lose the side vents, to avoid Vue comparisons. The harder edge styling, and tailfins really give this platform some ballz!

    With just a few interior and exterior detail changes (the door handles, front lights, interior lighting and gas and brake peddles, at first glance) it looks ready for production.

    Interesting to compare the true platform-mates. the "BRX" and 9-4X. They do not look very much alike to me.

    It's a nice touch. Modern interpretation of the fins fits pretty well with the hard edge lines of the new Cadillac design language. Although I appreciate that Cadillac is not forcing it on every model. The fins needs to look organic to the form not tacked on.

    Lookie what I got. Took these pics at Wagoner's keynote at CES. Having dinner with the Volt team in about an hour if you guys have any questions you wanna ask:





    And let me add... the Volt looks flat out GORGEOUS in person... as does the Provoq.

    Thankyou.

    Ask "those Volt guys" how much it's gonna cost, and if they can show you a sneak peak of what it's going to look like.

    That character line is old and so overused its ridiculous.

    The SRX might just be the ugly Caddy.

    "One thing I’ve noticed over the years is that if you drive into London at 6am, half of the cars on the roads are Porsches and Astons. Whereas if you go in at ten to nine, they’re all Renaults. Simple solution, then. You want a nice car? Get up earlier and do more work."

    I can see it now. 'GM uses such cheap plastic on their underbody aero panels!'

    Looks great, but would be better with a petrol engine.

    Very, very nice. A great follow up to the current CTS, STS and Escalade.
