OK, OK, it's a Cadillac, and it's called the "Ciel", but that's French for Sky!

Not to be negative but

That car is Fugly hope it stays a concept though it would turn heads and peeps would say WTH/WTF is/was that?
I guess someone liked it since it made it to concept and maybe they know what peeps like?

I agree with tazz on this one. Whats up with the bucket seats in the back? There is no room for... Well, if your going to have a 69 Cadillac give it some bench seating in the rear for room to work.

At the end of the spot where they were looking lovingly out towards the car at night, I was hoping it started to roll away down the mountain never to be seen again.

Kinda looks like a design cross between Cadillac CTS and Chevrolet Camaro convertible ... very ultramodern ... just my

Yeah, it's ugly.

Its a box with 2 little humps on the back and a pretty lady in a back seat. Its not a Kappa. Course, I'm not a Cadillac guy either.

Yeah and the Aztec made it into production and we know how that worked out.

I can't wait for GM and the other manufacturers to remember that they can use curved sheetmetal and stop with all the flat faceted body panels. The stealth fighter is an impressive plane in it's own way but it's ugly for a reason, those faceted surfaces are what makes it stealth.

what the hell, that thing has to weigh over 2 tons.

Question:

Look at the video at 28 second for about 10 seconds or so and you'll see the back seat blond girl in the middle. Then around 105 seconds you see the huge center console that runs down the whole middle of the car. Was she riding the hump or was this whole video a concept CGI also.

I would imagine that the door setup wouldn't pass the side impact tests...

Kinda reminds me of the Batmobile....

Ah, the Batmobile I remember was really cool and the sound it produced was awesome!

Reminds me of the old 40s Lincoln Continental Convertibles suicide doors and all.

I like that. The massively sculpted slab sides, angular lines, massive hood, generous distance between the front wheel and the front door, the suicide doors, the nearly-frameless windshield, the chrome curve on the sides. Mmm mmm delicious.

The nearly-flat slab sides and the angular creases and corners remind me of my CTS-V.

Hows that a new concept?
It's just a revision of this

g8gt09 · « **Reply #17 on:** February 03, 2012, 07:51:35 PM »

good taste, or the lack of it, is relative. i like it.

Brazen17 · « **Reply #18 on:** February 03, 2012, 08:26:11 PM »

It is ugly, ugly, ugly. I try not to be negative on how other cars look because beauty being in the eye of the beholder and all that but this thing is ugly!!! Did I mention it is also UGLY.

GXPinKC · « **Reply #19 on:** February 04, 2012, 12:19:39 AM »

Well, I will state that with the lines it has it beats the lines of our 2000 BiCentenniel 5.4 Liter Laser Red Lincoln Navigator that we still own and I am sure the MSRP was probably more than the list our's was at $49,940.00! Can't really complain cause "Big Bertha" is still in great shape and still trucken at 12 years of age! Not many own vehicles that go 12 years and more!

ChopTop · « **Reply #20 on:** February 07, 2012, 07:49:47 AM »

Ford's been there done that, 3rd Gen Lincoln 61-69 (right down to the suicide doors)
1964 Black Lincoln Continental ...Drop the top!
