So, did you do the sketch? Do you work for GM?
Are you going to hit them up asking for cash?

I dunno, the CIEL looks like a Cadillac, the sketch, other than the grill, not so much.

thanks guys, and yes it is flattering and surprising in the same time. that sketch is approx 7years old, in other words this car could've happen seven years ago.

I don't understand. They look nothing alike. One's black, and the other green fer chrissakes.
Good to hear from you, Radu! Nice work.

I happen to like the Ciel - interesting connection with gostraight...
However gostraights looks like a 2 seater supercar - when you see the entirety of the Ciel - it is a big sedan convertible... Like a sedan deVille... big... I see more Rolls in it than anything. But, I like the caddy swagger, however, I like caddies

Hmmm...
I've got to give Cadillac credit for making a good-looking car that is NOT highly derivative of something else. For the first time in decades, Cadillac has produced a car that at least looks like something someone wealthy would want to be seen in. I think going for a smooth, refined ride with the Ciel is a smart move, and keep the CTS to go after the sport-sedan market.

Oh, and I thought they should have put the Sixteen into production as a extremely limited run, million-dollar halo car.
