Re: 2008 CTS rendering

This is where art and science is going. I like it, it is as catching as the current CTS. If the interior is better than the current CTS they're going to have a run-away hit. The fog lamps look funky, but the article says they're not certain that they are production so we'll have to see.

I wonder what the v-series will look like, that is going to be hot.

Re: 2008 CTS rendering

The only thing I don't like about the current Caddies is the sharp edges, way too many edges IMO. A car is supposed to be curved and flowing, not sharp edges and boxes.

Re: 2008 CTS rendering

I think it needs to be a little bit rounder to pull off the sixteen style front end. i dont know, it isnt what i was expecting..

Re: 2008 CTS rendering

That's not even close. The side profile is all wrong, everything is off including the rims. Also, the front facia is not smooth like on this chop. it's still a rugged car, with some soft touches were necessary unlike that chop.

Not the '08 CTS.

That's one of very few cars that I like the way they do the vertical headlamps.

Re: 2008 CTS rendering

I like it... very unique look. It actually looks like a more expensive car, from the front, than the higher end models in Caddy's lineup. Seeing what caddy has put out so far I'm not so sure I have high hopes for the interior, but I guess we'll see.

Re: 2008 CTS rendering

I like it but I don't think the CTS-V should get the LS7, to much power for that car.

I guess it should never be competitive with the new M5 then? Since that is what the last CTS-Vs were said to be designed to do.

Re: 2008 CTS rendering

Can anyone copy and paste the pic here. For some reason I don't get the image throught the link (something about too much bandwidth, also mentioned by someone over there). Thanks.
