ew....

I guess caddy's new thing is to look gaudy and ostentatious because this certainly fits the bill. Definitely, DEFINITELY prefer the look of the regular CTS over this.

At first glance I liked it, but after spending a moment and looking at it, I'm going to have to agree with No Boss.

Just take a regular CTS, and put that grill on it. The wire mesh is whats missing from the current model.

The wheels need to be like the ones on my dad's Cadillac and the calibers need to be plain. Then the car would look nice.

It looks pretty good, except I don't much care for the wheels. And yellow brake calipers on an otherwise all-gray car? What type of crack were they smoking?

Vette Boss · October 29th, 2007, 07:48 PM

It's trying too hard to be cool, with that bodykit, wheels, yellow calipers and holes in the bonnet. All that cosmetic flim-flab and no extra performance. It's just too vulgar.

It's a freakin' concept car! That's the whole point! images/smilies/tongue.gif
