Not bad . The hood is so long, though, makes you think they could have been better served with a blown V12 instead. Then again, if you want to trump the RR and Maybach V12s, a V16 is the way to go.

On the topic of the Maybach, my god is that thing ugly (worst two-tone paint job evAr!). At least the Caddy 16 has some classy lines to it.

Damn that thing is long!

It's probably a long distance call from the trunk to the hood!

I guess you'll have that with a V16 though!

Kind of reminds me of a gangster-mobile in a way...

My first thought: WTF is up with the lower windows line being higher in the front and lower in the back? That looks completely wrong, like a bad photochop attempt.

I can't find a whole lot I dislike about it, so I have to say it's cool, tentatively. Any more pics?

To my eyes it has a lot of the Lincoln Mark VII in its rear, especially the sail panels. I'm concerned about what appears to be the lack of space in the passenger compartment, though. People aren't going to pay $300,000 to have the same roominess as a DeVille. But maybe it's just the pictures.

I would agree this is the first Arts & Sciences design that I do not rate a 10 as well... I think it's because they tried rounding or smoothing too many of the body lines, yet tried to leave the edginess there as well...

I'm not big on that styling but to the motor. What kind of power does that thing make? 650hp+?
