I am LOVING that smaller front grill in comparison with the CTS.

Front end looks SWEET! And the bulge on the hood, drool..

I know it's all camouflaged and all, but I don't think it looks nearly as good as the current V. In fact, I think I like the front end of the next regular CTS better...

Have to agree there.
Hopefully that is not the final production buldge.
Also the decklid and rear bumper look like ass.

Maybe we can steal the rear diff from it.

Still strong suggestions this is gonna be supercharged. I'm all for it! A new pully and different exhaust is a lot cheaper than a whole new supercharger. Wonder what compression ratio this thing will run with the supercharger?

I agree with you guys. I'm not liking the overall looks of it very much at all.

Nobody else noticed the 5-lug wheels? I was wondering when they would get a picture of that.

There will definitely be a bulge in the hood, but that one is obviously tacked on for testing while they design the production hood.

Other observations:

-Z06 calipers on the front (multi-pad)
-Thank god for the smaller upper grill
-Rear tires look at least 275, maybe bigger

-The mufflers look like Corsas in the profile shot

Looks wise, thats my only complaint visually with the current car, it's to friggen narrow. They need to make the car wider and more aggressive. If this is the new body, I'll be moving on to something else. Hopefully just a test mule of a rgular cts body with the V drive train.

Those Vents has to go and they should use the STS-V or Specktorwerks hood. This might turn out ok. I'll give it a chance. As mentioned before, 5 lugs this time. I predict this thread will be at 100 post by 6pm CST.

Perhaps it is time to move away from Cadillac.
It appears they are digressing to bland generic styling.
