Re: Cadillac to show "Urban Concept" at LA show...
Interesting. Obviously this is not headed for production anytime soon. It is like a Cadillac version of the Smart forFour in the year 2030.

I kinda like it. I wouldn't buy it, but think it looks pretty neat for a small car. Way better than a Smart or Nano. I like it better than the Fiesta, which I also think is a good looking car.

It's sort of neat in a way. I understand why a lot of people don't like it. But there are a lot of uglier cars out there.
The one thing it has going for it is that it is very different from what is out there, so it would definitely stand out. The Aston Martin city car, for example, is hardly any different from the Mini it is based on when it viewed from a few feet away. Unique is a pretty important asset for a hybrid since most of the buyers get them for the look at me I am saving the world factor.
I don't know if the American market at large is really ready for premium small cars though. You might find a small market for something like this in the more well to do buyers of the Prius.

Its like the designers spent 99% of their time working on the doors forward then someone was like "**** we gotta get this thing ready in six hours."

I think I would rather have the Cadillac.
