i like it!

The BLS is looking good. I just saw the BRX in MT and I definetly think together both of these cars would sell good in the states. I suppose they can hold off on the BLS until its on Epsilon II and have AWD.

That is a hot Caddy!

This is a true entry level luxury. We need an AWD Caddy in this category! BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Infiniti, and even Volvo are....

The Epsilon platform means this thing isn't as small as a lot of European cars. Hopefully GM can get this up to speed as a credible A4 and low-end 3-series competitor.

Ideally, after a few years of tweaks and upgrades, this vehicle will come to the US. I think it is the best looking Epsilon-based vehicle being made.

C'mon GM bring it here with AWD.That thing is sweet.The best thing on Epsilon.

who's got the shrink ray and pointed it at a CTS?

is this based off of the holden torrana concept?

**Swahili** · 03-01-2005, 10:19 PM

I think that's the nicest looking Caddy around. I hope they don't change much for the production version because it looks like a real strong European competitor as it is. The blue material on the inside of the door right underneath the wood trim could be changed, but I think the body coloured leather in the seats would be a really nice option for those wanting to personalize their car right from the showroom. Sharp sharp sharp!

It's a close cousin to the Saab 9-3.

GMMediumDutyMQ · 03-01-2005, 10:20 PM

I like the car and all, but those seat skins? Ugh! Looks like colors I've seen on PhatPharm coats!

I don't mind some color, heck, even give me an old Gremlin Levis, but spare me the creme on baby blue.

Kar Krazie · 03-01-2005, 10:24 PM

That looks nice. Bring it here with just a little better proportions and it will be a hit!

I don't know man. Nicer than the XLR? It's pretty good but I am not feeling those blue interior inserts anywhere in the interior.

GM_Guy81 · 03-01-2005, 10:44 PM

Looks great. Im actually surprised how much I like it.

To me, this much more classy. I really like the XLR, but there's something about it that doesn't fit right, I'm not sure exactly what it is I mean. The blue inserts wouldn't be very successful in North America, but I think they are well suited for the European market. Obviously preferences in Europe and here in N.A. differ substantially, my assumption is that the insert would work over there. I could be 100% wrong but that's just the feeling I have.
