I'm glad to see that they've stuck to the concept as much as possible.

One thing I noticed is that there looks to be a b pillar.
Kinda stinks.

Wow, through the trees? That really is a spy shot, lol!

YupYupYup · 03-07-2008, 01:55 PM

Can anyone identify the vehicle that is parked between the trucks? Just curious.

Too bad that they had to put a B-pillar in...Then again, if they didn't they would have to charge $100K like Mercedes to recoup the engineering costs required to do so...

Looks like it'll be very good looking. I'm glad to see Cadillac having a coupe again.

Not sure what the car is between the trucks. Maybe a secret Malibu coupe?

bballer113 · 03-07-2008, 02:04 PM

OMG, this car is going to look perfect. I don't know if the camaro will be sitting in my garage after all.

Looks like that car between the trucks could be a Malibu...maybe the two-mode hybrid? Or maybe it is the new Aura...

It's a Malibu. The OnStar/XM antenna is on the back.

SUPERBADD75 · 03-07-2008, 02:26 PM

not a huge fan, honestly. the sedan has such nice proportions and the coupe just looks too chunky to me.

inrick1 · 03-07-2008, 02:51 PM

that car is a Zeta platform car. you can see the base of the a-pilar, right behind the truck's tail lights

mcool · 03-07-2008, 04:10 PM

So far it looks like the center-mounted exhaust is intact. Other spy photos seemed to show it was there on the mules.

I'll take that detail held over from the concept in exchange for the sedan and coupe being essentially the same from the A-pillar forward.

I don't really care about the B-pillar being there, as long as the structure of the car is as solid as possible.

That's how I feel too. It doesn't look nimble, like a coupe should. It just looks fat.

Tony's BlkGTP · 03-07-2008, 04:31 PM

Well, I definitely love the looks of the coupe and if my bank account can ever catch up with my proposed spending, that machine will certainly be in my garage, or the streets!

stevecmh · 03-07-2008, 05:20 PM
