I'll cut the hype. That was a preview at the new CTS on "60 minutes"

There was a piece that ran shortly after NAIAS '06 that GM gave the "walk through" of the show and exclusive cameras to "60 minute" that was set to aire in April or May.

Last I read/heard was that the piece was going to be overall negative.

Fast forward to "todays times" when GM is facing an onslaught of "bad news" from the media and what better way to shush them (which has worked) than to give a preview of a hot new Cadillac!

The car is the CTS show car that will debut in January, then wll go on sale in June/July. Obviously the only visible changes will be the headlamps/tail light treatment.

By the way, the production interior is every bit of fantastic as the concept will be.

Furthermore, the show was shot in an actual design studio. Not a 'mock up' like GM is normally notorious for when it comes to these types of shots.

Take it as you will but as always I know you won't take it as much.

 

well i guess that settles it

 

I hope the CTS doesn't get the Saturn Aura treatment when going from show car to production car.

 

No.

I would not read into things too much.

 

So we saw the 'Concept' Version and the spy photo is the production version then?

 

That new CTS is going to be one hell of a car.

 

For the most part they were just clay styling bucks of the CTS and some math data verification milling jobs in clay.

I just would not read too much into anything else.

 

yup pretty much
