Apparently the Caddy designers only have rulers to design their cars........

lol.

not bad though ... i kinda like it. :eyebulge:

the main problem i have with the 335i is the 3/4 panel (is that what it is called?) is just too extended....i like this much better in contrast.

Brandon26pdx · 01-14-2008, 12:39 PM

I don't really like the back 1/3rd of that thing for some reason. The front fascia looks awsome though! About time they rolled out a true GT coupe

1ster · 01-14-2008, 12:50 PM

What is it with designers making coupes look like hatchbacks? This thing is great until you get to the last 1/3 (as noted above), at which point it looks like an Altima Coupe with sharper edges.

This thing could have used an additional 6 inches on the rear and a better-defined trunk.

SA135i · 01-14-2008, 01:26 PM

And people say the 1er is ugly..... I don't like it at all

.

I would be tempted to say it has no shape, but then I guess a box is a shape also...

sethchan · 01-14-2008, 01:56 PM

A car only an American could love. Horrible. The ugliest Caddie I've ever seen.

BForbes · 01-14-2008, 02:17 PM

Haha, you guys are so harsh. If this car was a bit lighter and had an N54 I would take it in a heart beat.

BimmerKid87 · 01-20-2008, 02:15 AM

I love the new CTS sedan, but this concept has awkward proportions. I have a feeling the production version will look better.

I drew cars like that in grade school. It's a child's idea of what a car should look like.

Really the CTS-V looks like a bad Bangle knockoff.

Oregon · 01-20-2008, 12:07 PM

While the caddy is anything but beautiful, IMO, it is far less fugly than a 335i.

BForbes · 01-20-2008, 01:34 PM

Such haters on here. I think it looks great. The general concensus on the Internet forums(besides 1addicts) is that it looks great. God forbid a car is anything but round right?

Templedogg · 01-20-2008, 01:38 PM

Front, sides, everything looks good but the back, I hate when cars V to a peak in the back.

bavarianbutcher · 01-20-2008, 02:16 PM

though the lines are straight they dont even flow into eachother. It is very mis proportioned. The window line is 3 inches below the hood line and the front of the car looks like janice dickinson with all the botox.

SA135i · 01-20-2008, 02:27 PM

Yeah, the middle third is okay, but just not liking the very upright front end (looks like the kind of grill to expect on a pickup) and the backend just does not work for me - wierd angles.

Sorry, but not for me - I would much rather have the "fugly" 335 (sorry Surname) than this, but then again I am getting the 1er

WolfsburgerMitFries · 01-20-2008, 06:28 PM

That's miles ahead of my old Cadillac. As a car enthuiast, I'd really like to see American brands wake up and produce products worth buying. You know, something you'd be proud to own.

I want them to succeed too.

hellrotm · 01-20-2008, 09:53 PM

I would expect haters on a bimmer forum, we are very brand loyal enthusiasts.

But I think it is by far the best looking caddy. Love it.

ibeam81 · 01-20-2008, 10:51 PM

I like it as well. While it might not work for everyone, I think that it's great that Cadillac is going it's own way and making distinctive looking cars.

So, therefore, if anyone disagrees and deems it ugly, they are haters? Uhh... riiiight....

Anyway, the front and profile are much better than the sedan but the rear end takes the whole thing down hill. It's very heavy (appearance wise) and if you look at it at the right angle, it looks like there's a massive amount of fat peering around. Not bad, though...

Khobin~ · 01-20-2008, 11:42 PM

...It's too 350Z meets the corners of everything...Never been afan of the Caddy sharp angles everywhere idea...that said the STS looks probably the best of the bunch.

...But then I'm also of the opinion that the 1'ers looks gooood.
