In a piece that I ran earlier this morning, Cadillac released a teaser image of what appears to be an LED headlight of their latest concept car, to be unveiled in Detroit.
Looking at the image it is incredibly hard to tell just about anything. All of the discernable cues are far too limited to make any conclusion. So, I wondered:
"Although General Motors is hinting it is a totally fresh project, it bears strong resemblance to Cadillac's 3-Series competitor, the ATS. But, it appears that there are four doors and a sweeping roofline -- perhaps it is an A7/CLS/Panamera rival? OR could it be the XTS luxo-cruiser I saw in Detroit back at the end of the summer?"
According to Autocar, I may have been onto something with my XTS assumption.
Autocar reports below:
"Cadillac isn’t saying what the car in this teaser picture released this morning is, but it’s likely to reveal the brand’s new flagship saloon currently known as XTS, the name used inside GM.
If that proves accurate, it takes the new saloon a step closer to production, probably as a 2012 model, when it would replace Cadillac’s US market STS and DTS. Neither of these models have fared well in the hotly competitive luxury market.
The XTS will continue the Art and Science design language used most notably in the smaller CTS, but will feature a more elegant and less edgy overall shape..."
IF it is the XTS I can tell you now, from what I saw several months ago it is a stunning looking car. The closest way to describe this luxo-hauler would be to call it the Cadillac Maybach. It is elegant, sporting and very handsome.
Let's see what GM has in store for us in several weeks...
