Not your dad's caddy....
 
This is by far, I think, the most interesting car of the show. I think the back seats are useless, might as well get rid of them and make a two door coupe with a useable hatch to keep the proportions on a production car. Nice work GM, I bet Rick wouldn't mind driving this back to washington.

Some cool features I think would be nice in this car given its futuristic design would be a thermal camera, ipod cradle :) , heads up display, and a multimedia interface a la BMW idrive and Audi's MMI..

well the current CTS-V is already not your daddy's caddy. its an awesome performance car. handles great too.

Ever Hernandez 01-11-2009 09:16 PM

True, but I think this one takes a step further for the brand.

BlueEyes 01-11-2009 09:21 PM

This is the CTS coupe?

I thought I read something that this project was canned?

Does look good though, like a practical gallardo.

Ever Hernandez 01-11-2009 09:42 PM

This is the Cadillac version of the chevy volt. The Converj is based on an improved powertrain over the volt.

05rex8 01-11-2009 09:43 PM

the blue lights are purdy

gh8st 01-11-2009 10:01 PM

the shift knob looks like a joystick

9krpmrx8 01-11-2009 10:01 PM

Lame.

ShinkaTeen 01-11-2009 10:03 PM

the sensation im feeling is the same as falling asleep in geometry class back in high school.

BSchwemer 01-11-2009 10:08 PM

Looks way to futuristic for my taste. I don't like the Honda Civic like dash and steering wheel, either. The current Caddy CTS-V's are sex. Wish I could afford to own and modify one properly.

Ross_Dawg 01-11-2009 10:15 PM

looks too "smart-car" for me

Ever Hernandez 01-11-2009 10:30 PM

:) gotta give credit where its deserved and these guys have earned it.

CyberPitz 01-11-2009 11:06 PM

Eh, I see too many automakers adding the random lights in the console and things just for prettyness....they try too hard to look like the future of cars.

Ever Hernandez 01-11-2009 11:15 PM

The volt's dash and console is operated by touch, so, something like this isn't too far off the real thing.

StealthTL 01-11-2009 11:18 PM

I just saw an ad for the Volt on t.v.

That's the car they don't make, and you can't buy, right?

Seem like a good use of GM's bailout money?

Sounds like typical marketing to get the public talking.

TopGear8 01-11-2009 11:34 PM

That thing looks pretty clean

kersh4w 01-12-2009 02:52 AM

it looks too tall.

it needs to shorter.

i like the interior though.

DailyDriver2k5 01-12-2009 07:34 AM

Looks like a baby Cien, not bad, needs to be lowered to really mimic the Cien. I would drive it...:)

JRichter 01-12-2009 09:25 AM

Not bad looking but a little to "cab-forward" for my traditional tastes. The overall concept (which is the point) is probably more impressive than the looks, though.

Renesis07 01-12-2009 09:37 AM

Can't wait to see it without all the bling that WILL NOT make it into production.

Looks cool now, but Itll look or be nothing like that off the assembly line.

MyRXdrug 01-12-2009 10:00 AM

Exterior looks sweet. Interior, well I'm not into futuristic looks but you can't punish them for pushing that. I think car makers put in the back seats to lower insurnace rates for potential buyers? That is why my friend's dad bought a Lexus SC430 a few years back.

bse50 01-12-2009 10:25 AM

If anybody sees me driving one of these is authorized to cut my belongings :)

Thats' the car that first came to mind when I saw this thing. Check out the live picture, it looks like it has just enough headroom and the tire to body ratio is very good, no ugly gaps .....
