Spy shots: 2008 Cadillac CTS

[vexor]

60 Minutes on Sunday ran a special on the state of General Motors, its recovery plan, and its future. During the show, GM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz and CEO Rick Wagoner previewed a new Cadillac model believed to be the 2008 CTS. While we suspect it may be an upcoming concept, several LLN tipsters insist it is very close to the production model.

Whoa, talk about blingy. Looks like the took an audi grill, strectched it and dipped it in chrome

oooh...Harley Earl would be proud of the front end...very classic Caddilac, circa early 1950's.

You can thank Harley Earl for the idea of the concept car by visiting www.carofthecentury.com

so rather than getting better, american cars just become more "bling"?

 

[BlaRo]

It's clearly styled after the Sixteen, if that's what you mean by "bling".

And hey, it works. I like it!

 

[Dino]

i can tell it works. the us automotive industry is going strong as ever

 

[jayjaya29]

Meh, it will look good in real life, but I think it is the wrong direction. I like it, but I think it will begin to go too far.

i like the looks. kinda mixes in a few Cien design cues into the CTS. Nice.

Ick - that front is not looking good at all

 

[flyingfridge]

hmm i just realised how much of that front end was chrome.... it might work for the escalade, but i thought they wanted the CTS to be a 5 series competitor? 5ers are classy. chrome, is not.

it looks better than the current, but then its probably a concept.

interior looks very similar to the Lexus RX, and it looks like the roof and A-pillar are missing...

[jetsetter]

The car looks better in the video, trust me.

 

[No Boss]

The car looks better in the video, trust me.

It's under a big blue tarp, without a roof... how can you tell what it's gonna look like?

 

[UMass]
