Wow, it looks pretty "in your face" without looking desperate for attention, if that makes sense. Cadillac has a winner right here. And this is coming from an Infiniti/Mercedes guy.
@connor agreed haha. I really don't see the ugliness. I've always wondered why they don't make a car that literally looks just like this. With the proper engine I would buy this exact car over any BMW or Mercedes. The styling is almost Incredible
@ Miguel... Uh no... This thing is Absoloutely hideous.... I wouldn't care what badge was on it... And Patrick, just cuz it's origional, doesn't mean it looks good... And The nsx is pretty darn origional Patrick!
I love the way it looks like a resto-mod of an old caddy but with a 22nd century feel.
I'm sure if this had an Acura badge or Lexus badge he would be all over it!
Oh god! I think this may be one of the ugliest cars I've ever seen... Ew! O.O
It doesnt look too bad but i dnt think this shud be a face for a flagship sedan..
Its truly a car that's in your face. I liked it at first, then I hated ut and now I love it again! Absolutely has to be marketed right and flawless design to sell.
I love it! Saw it at the auto show, it is breath taking honestly

I would say Audi is the second biggest competition they have and they aren't even listed
Description: Other models in the pipeline include ATS coupe and convertible variants in 2014, a large crossover using an upgraded version of the Lambda platform in 2015, a new Escalade SUV in the latter half of 20...

I think this looks very sporty but sophisticated and I really can't understand how ppl think this is ugly.but I will say that hood is way to huge to b putting in a v6 .iy would look empty as hell in there
It will never look like this. If it did I would stop hating GM. They don't understand that people want a car that looks like this.
I think this is meant more to compete with the CL65 or even the Phantom Coupe.
I think it looks really good. I think it would be cool if they made a V version to compete with the S65.
I feel like this is use the retro styling language of the prowler, in a Cadillac body, not sure if I like it
Love the front. Looks way different from anything else on the road. And rich people would buy this; they like having a presence on the road.
If it was affordable, it would sell like wildfire. Think about when Chrysler did their retro start up, prowler/cruiser/ram/viper changes... People like different.
While I'm not sure about the headlights, I really like the overall shape of a car. With some toned down design features it would look great
This is not appealing at all!!! It's different for sure... But, not in a good way IMO
It's different. I'll give them credit for that. I don't see it selling much though.
I like the shArp long edges on this car. For A Cadillac like this it makes sense.
@justin if you don't like something that's fine just don't keep repeating yourself. And the back doesn't look as good as the front
THAT has some style!! Love or hate it, you can't deny it's gone away from the boring German approach and has injected some flare and personality.
I like the front, but the center line 'seam' along the back end kinda ruins it.
Such an awesome looking car! Love the American retro direction. It's smart business to- could you imagine a retro styled Honda based on a 1980 Civic styling? LOL!
I think it's ugly, it's like cadillac cant make flowing and round shapes, only sharp edges
Personally I loooove the interior but the rest of the car I'm still on the fence about. Its so different its hard to gauge.
@Matt, we get it you don't like it. You don't have to post on every picture that its ugly.
Like the back. Think the "elongated" look like the 50's is what draws me in.
Ryan, IF your implying that the CTS V is a tiny plastic sports car... The I'll take a tiny plastic sports car any day.
I agree with jason. Finaly caddi is going back to its roots instead of these tiny plastic sportscars. I drive a deville myself, 97.
Finally a Caddi that looks like a "Caddi". My Dad had a 71 and I loved that BOAT.
I wonder if they would ever sell this as a hardtop convertible. A glass roof at least would be impressive
I think they should make the space in between the tail lights flat instead of pointed
They might have to shoot another season of Entourage just to film the title sequence in this car.
Could you imagine cruising down the highway with 3 of your friends with the top down. That sounds like an epic roadtrip to me.
@logan, that would sort of put them into Rolls-Royce territory, which, unless its as good as a Roller, would be a bad thing
The concept must be designed for a demographic with a specific height, seeing as though the seat appears mounted to the floor.

Suicide doors would be really unique but I've heard there's a reason why they don't do them. don't remember though
I believe so, Abraham. But I don't think this is too concerned about the aerodynamics.
Isn't there a problem with suicide doors, like the air seeping in causing Aero issues?
the interiors great... until you crash and that shelf blade beheads your passenger lol
first time i saw the inside of this i got a huge halo elite shrine vibe from it
Suicide doors... Think it was the concept chrysler phantom that had them also ( that was a great concept ) but no one ever follows through with em....
Another example of modern design that only looks new, and has no classic beauty. Ugly big mouth-like too many others these days. The thing will look dated in a few years. Too many car designs these days where all you can say is that it looks modern. Who will want it in even 5 years?
It has potential. But it definitely needs work to "cool" it
If this is their flagship model, they should make the V16 engine an option
At least GM is doing something and Ford (Lincoln) is doing shit.
@Robert you're right.
I will pass GM is basically building a fleet wood. Caddy needs to make the XTS it's flagship. Lexus, Benz, and BMW has it locked up. Well it may compete against the Hyundai Equus
I don't think you spell Cadillac w/two D's buddy.
@Wyatt you know nothing about Caddilac, if you think they shouldn't be making cars like this.
Wyatt, you speak as if saying Ferrari being "the best car company ever" was a fact rather the opinion. Go back to watching top gear. P.S. Anytime someone says "rubbish", I can't help but laugh.
@brad, exactly. unless youre a brand thats already exclusive and full of pedigree, like the best car company ever (Ferrari), then you simply cant do this sort of rubbish
This car looks awesome
Schedule this for the CarBuzz article of "ultimate automotive fails" for 2021, an continuation of the current series they are running. How quickly a company forgets that low margin, low production cars will put you into bankruptcy. History repeats...
Here comes David and John to ruin everyone happiness. Fanboys SMH
@David actually there are selling more cadillacs then before.
With the next S Class coming soon, there will be no competition. Even when it's the benchmark it's hard to beat, or even impossible to overcome. I think it's the only one in the segment worth cross shopping against a Bentley or smaller Rolls Royce.
Lincoln and buick are getting decimated.. I agree with colby.
'destroying the competition', 'on top right now'? maybe in the American luxury category, then yes. I don't see it trumping much anywhere else.
@colby destroying the competition? Um...no, not at all
Now if they makw the Ciel, Cien, and Sixteen... It will be one of my favorite companies.... Too bad that might never happen.
That said I'm stoked I've been waiting for them to get the green on this Cadillac can now make something like the sixteen
No the xts pretty much fills the gap where the dts and sts left off its just a large comfortable sedan not really directly aimed at competing with anything
Woohoo! Go Cadillac! Haha. No, but seriously, Cadillac has really stepped their game up the past few years and I think that they are on top right now and they are destroying the competition at everything they used to do best. Thumbs up GM.
I thought the XTS was supposed to compete with those sedans?
