Got possibilities depending on performance!

 

Is it April already??????

Ha.....
I think it's ironic.....
They all want a MINI in their stable. MINI is always put up as the target in the cross hairs.rrr:rrr:rrr:

 

Thing looks like one big blind spot, to me.

Why do American cars have to be big and gaudy? The new Ford lineup has the massive chrome grills, this thing is nothing but grill and Caddy logo... Tacky.

And they wonder why they are failing.

 

As a Yurpeen, my take is why does GM target Yurp with Cadillac? Even us cheese-eaters know that Cadillac is supposed to be luxury but they suffer from the problem (shared with most mass-market US cars) that even if they look OK, at some point you open the door and see, or worse still touch, the interior. If it's not unbearably tacky to look at, it's going to feel like it's made from recycled plastic cutlery.

Jeep have demonstrated that there's a Yurpeen market for the rough, tough all-Merkan image where sophistication doesn't count for as much. There are at least as many Yurpeens who want to drive around in a little motorised panic room as there are Merkans, so I think they should make a baby-Suburban. The same platform would be ideal and indeed the same "I'm a really aggressive four-year-old - get outta my way" looks would work too.

Strangely, Dodge even admitted this by mistake when they tried to sell the Dodge Caliber - I am not sure if their TV ad will play outside the UK:
Dodge 'Wet My Pants' TV ad - 30 sec advert

PS A couple of months ago the Dodge brand was axed in Britain....

 

Looks more like a Smart.

 

Butt ugly.

They used a dog breed to model that Caddy/Tacky. ut:

 

That thing is hideous, and as Johngo states, looks like visibility would be a serious problem.

 

I don't like the styling of this concept car, but lately Cadillac has brought out sedans with impressive performance and I'm interested to see what they come up with.

 

Aside from the Flavor-Flav oversized front grill, I kinda like it.

 

Angle on the windshield look extremely steep.

I was thinking that too! They can't be serious with that look. :crazy:

 

Thank you!
I can picture it with a wide body kit, wide tires and wheels, splitter and spoiler......

 

Looks like it could be constructed in ones basement shop using plywood & a sawz all.... :smilewinkgrin:

 

That thing is Ugly with a capital Ass.

 

LOL!

 

I thought the windshield on my 99 Camaro was hard to clean. I'd hate to try and clean that! Unless your arms were 6 foot long, you'd never reach the bottom of the dang thing!

 

It looks like it shrank after a wash :lol:

 

One word: Swiffer.

 

Someone in the design dept. needs to be drug tested.
