We've seen two independent 'renderings' so far... what's going to be different? I hope some of that 'info' includes auto transmission selection and price points

Re: 2008 CTS rendering and info coming at 11PM

First word that comes to mind looking at the rendering of the rear is 'busy'. Clean basic angles but just too many things going on at once that dont' really 'mesh', to me.

The 3/4 angle of the side profile is the first time I've thought "Daimler Chrysler" a bit in the basic profile.

The price change sounds within reason, especially since they're sticking an even less expensive model underneath (where's all the guys who talk about how Caddy doesn't sell much in the way of inexpensive cars? Looks like that's changing)

Wheels are a bit overdone - I'd prefer something a bit simpler with fewer spokes but I doubt that's the final wheel setup... or if it is it's just one of many.

XM ant on the back (or is that nav? or both?) should be painted body color.

What are the headlights going to be? Halogen by default, xenon optional? Or Xenon standard? Or maybe even LEDs?

I would be careful of overhyping an unofficial drawing, not cricism, just advise. My first thought when I saw this thread was "Ohh, new CTS"...so I hunted for the link without reading...then realized it was only a Photoshop.

I think people pretty much know what to expect from the next CTS...nice rendering though!

I dont like it as a car. Im sure its good work as far as renedering goes. The rear makes it look much bigger than the car is. The front and rear are higher than the line at the bottom of the windows like previous CTS which it looks like theyve improved or made them alot close in the released SRX pictures. The car is just too bulky and I dont know why. It looks like a well done rendering but as a car I think GM could do better.

It looks very STS-ish. I wish Cadillac would do more to distinguish those two models.
