Re: 2008 CTS rendering

Well that was anticlimatic. Is NY the place it will be shown?

Re: 2008 CTS rendering

looks like the BLS with new headlighs and sixteen grill.

The next CTS comes out in fall 2006 as a 2007 right? is it now a 2008? I wonder how close this rendering is to the real car.

Not the '08 CTS.
...cause you've seen the real one...

I like how GMI just steals there "exclusives" from a chopper on CSS:

And it is based on the BLS, this pic:

Re: 2008 CTS rendering

I seriously doubt this is anywhere near an accurate rendering.

The headlights are unprotected in the bumper. HID headlights aren't cheap.

Also don't believe the new car is larger. The STS is barely longer and wider. Is Cadillac going to have 2 cars the same size?

Bob Lutz also tried to smooth the CTS's design. I don't know if he succeeded or if the designers had their way (have to wait & see), but I think the Sixteen's grill is going to become a Cadillac standard across the board in coming years.

Re: 2008 CTS rendering

I think Mr. Lutz and the designers met halfway....and it's a bad *** meeting point!

Re: 2008 CTS rendering

I would hope that isn't it. Looks awfully pieced together. None of it really wants to flow with the rest of the car.

Re: 2008 CTS rendering

It's not really accurate...and it was not posted as a "exclusive" either....matter of fact, it is in the rumor mill. Someone sent it to the guy on my site who took it a bit to seriously and posted it with an article that was worded too strongly.

It is a nice photoshop though....
