Is this Caddy's Coupe?

This is a screen grab from the recording of the 60 minutes clip. They are in the Caddy design studio, and this is cleary a coupe...especially looking at the board behind. Looks very Camaro like in stance.

Re: Is this Caddy's Coupe?

So Caddy will now get a Cadillac Firebird! Seriously though, why would Caddy need a sketch of the Camaro if they never had ties with models in the past? Maybe if this was in the Pontiacs studio it would make sense, but why Caddy?

That's a good guess. I'm wondering though, if Caddy will call one the CTS and the other some bespoke name so as to "flush out the lineup" so to speak?

I wonder what they'd call if it it was a bespoke coupe based on the next CTS? The CTC?

As far as I'm concerned, this car CAN'T get to market quickly enough!

If you look closely, you can see the bulge in the back of the roof, where the XM antenna goes. Convertibles would have it on the trunk.

Looks to me like the blue coupe is a Jag XK, while the smaller red vehicles could be potential designs for a V-Series coupe, or perhaps just a normal coupe. Either way, if they're benchmarking that class of vehicle I like where things are headed.
