Not with me.

I like the front end, but the side is not appealing.

Nice styling. Sort of a Fleetwood look to it - definitely unmistakable Cadillac styling.

The proportions (IMO) appear to indicate the platform is Chevrolet Captiva/Saturn Vue? It's only a concept but the interior suggests a production ready vehicle, am I right.

I like the front end, but everything that looks like a mini-SUV is not appealing.

Wow, I didn't know Caddy was getting a version of the Pontiac Vibe!

I like that they are really pushing the alternative fuel systems.

Very cool, I like it. It looks very production ready. Interior is very similar to the CTS




Solar roof is a cool feature. I expect to see this on hybrids within the next ten years.

Any idea what the solar roof powers?

I've wondered why we've not seen a solar roof on anything yet. Seems like it would be a perfect fit for the Volt.

I agree that the top-3/4 view is better than the profile, which looks a bit pudgy. And you can see some of the Vue bloodlines. Overall, it's not bad and I probably like this more than the SRX. I'm not sure if this is a possible replacement or what. I admit to not reading the press release.

In honesty Visod Automoile Corporation has planned to develop an electric vehicle with 80% of the body covered in solar panels. Most of that to power things such as turning signals, radio, heater, A/C.

We at this time see that GM has taken the first step in making our goals possible by laying some ground work in this concept.

We would also like to express to those who may not know that by having solar panels, your vehicle will recharge a battery for which that happens all the time it gathers enough light bounce electrons around. Saving you the need for large alternators as your batteries will start to shrink and thus not require such huge amounts of reenergizing.

To me it looks clearly Theta-based (think Saturn Vue, not Pontiac Vibe).

Looks pretty sharp, though definitely can see the Vue in its greenhouse.

Looks much better than the Acura RDX, though.

Way too much brightwork on the dash, though, which otherwise does very much mimic the layout and theme of the CTS. I assume the brightwork will be trimmed down for production...

My first thought was that it looks like a caddy version of the enclave.

I like it. Love the interior... caddy is back....
