I'm getting a broken link s-10.

 

It was my first attempt to post a pic, try this:

Can Someone asist me? I used the template from the FAQ page, and thought it was all set up? I can see it from both spots? What gives?

 

I going to get a road and track right now.

 

I wanna see!

 

none of the links work.
My R&T is always late... as is today's mail...

 

go to that car spy shot website (google for "Car spy shots")

They have a thread with working pics in there somewhere.
Basically the renders are obvious chops/modified drawings.

The one from R&T looks like they took the current CTS and applied some acid to it so it melted some of the sharp edges and it looks a little more curved. that and it was given the STS pull style door handles.

the Popular mechanics pic looks like they flattened the CTSv and made it wider....

kind of like how they drew the CTS in that simpsons episode. (in other words, not proportional).

That is one of the worst chops I have ever seen in my life, I hope the new one doesn't look like that...yuk!

 

That is proabably not even close to what it will really look like. I think it would be a mistake if they use a cab-forward design on the next-gen. CTS.

The CTS has an edgy, radical look, they just need to evolve that look to hit it in with the rest of the upcoming Cadillac lineup.

As an owner of the current CTS, I disagree, I think it is a rather nice evolution from the current design, although I do agree this is just a digital rendition, and more than likely not what it will turn out to look like.

 

I'm more interested in the sidebar. That V plan seems too conservative. Why not take on AMG and M with insane power numbers and real luxo rockets?

 

What do I say? We can't make a judgement until the real car comes out with pictures and such. Chops and renderings aren't exactly accurate. Many automakers are actually off with their predictions of how a car's going to look...so I can't believe this yet or make any 'true' assumptions...until the car comes out, of course.

Saving up to buy one.

 

I kinda like it. It looks slimmer then the present CTS. Much more agressive as well.

 

I actually like what i see. the first cts almost looks like the designers didnt really know what to do w/ the A&S look. Now they do - this looks well proportioned with less awkward shapes than the current design (ie the rear tail lights IMO). I also like this because it shows that Caddy isnt wimping out on the A&S look, although I do like the STS. A luxo brand needs to make a statement, to kind of polarize people a little.

 

Well... that link makes it look like a Saab 900 with an A&S slant to it. It's kinda cool though.


EDIT: I take that back. It looks like a MAXX. :zippy:

 

One thing is that it looks as if its moving away from any type of 3 series fighter, to more of a 5 series fighter.

 

I think it looks pretty good. I like the sporty look to it. I think the lights are kinda funny looking but that would be all that i would change. It looks like a bimmer beater to me.

 

I can see where they choped the upper portion of the trunk lid and small section of the back lights from a Chrysler 300c... Other than that it looks pretty good though.

 

I like it. It appears to overcome the awkwardness-es of the current design, a car that I have grown to really like, but which sometimes, from certain angles, makes me wince.

And it's clearly an evolution of the current car, which makes it do-able. Mark me down as happy about this.

(It's an interesting thing about photoshopping: when you do it to an existing car, you get something that's capapble of bing produced, because the changes aren't necessarily so huge.)

You can look at it two ways, it competes with the 3-series in price, and 5-series in physical stature. The CTS has always been that way.

 

Weren't they going to shrink it down to more effectively combat the 3 series?

Yup. Same platform though. Essentially, Caddy is just going to "reduce the fat." CTS will be closer in size to the 3-series, which makes STS more of a 5-series competitor.

 

It looks very cool, softer lines and a more sporty/luxury stance to it is all the CTS needs...
