Not a huge surprise on the looks. Very nice looking car even though FWD.

Wow, it looks great. Isn't the car going to be AWD only at first, and then only offer FWD on the base trim level?

It. looks. MASSIVE. Also, the greenhouse area reminds me of the chrysler 200 which I do not like... Also (and I think its just the way the picture is throwing my eyes off) the tail end of the car looks waaay higher off the ground than the front, which looks goofy. Ill reserve judgement until I see it in person.

I'm not seeing that, can you post some pictures of what you are referring to.

I'm just speaking in general terms, like the headlights, the egg crate grille, the LED taillights, and how the body is very angular.

So you mean kind of like how any number of other brands try to have a cohesive design language across their lineup?

BMW, Audi, MB, VW, Lexus, Chevy, Buick, Lincoln, Acura...

So was this viral marketing? It looks like they officially released the picture now.

It seems that lately, the mentality is "If it is leaked out there, it is too late to stop it...so release it" and that looks to be what happened this time.

However, it begs the question...was it leaked on purpose?

I like the looks. The interior on the show car was nice.

They will sell a few of these most likely.

Re: Cadillac Leaks XTS Image Mistakenly on Their Own Site

To me it looks like someone added Cadillac styling to a Hyundai...

... but I do like it.

This is probably not far from the truth.
