Cadillac makes the best concept cars hands down

They all look pretty dated to be honest

Thats what they're going for. The allure of Cadillac today is supposed to be on some bygone era type shyt when GM was King and most cars had V8 engines. Cadillac knows what they target market is, and that market wants that look. Most of the popular American cars in the last decade have all taken styling cues from past when it comes to body styles. GM tried to copy the Japanese in the late 80's and early 90's and it failed miserably. Making smaller cars with rounded off cute looking body styles and weak engines that are good on gas is not what the average GM buyer wants. Caddy, Buick and Chevy lovers are in heaven right now because GM is actually putting out cars that nikkas lust over again.

Never looked at it that way, you are actually right.

Cadillac is too p*ssy to make any of those cars. Expect more glorified 300s from GM going forward.

The XLR, ELR and XTS were all concepts first. and made it into production within 5 years. Even the other cars have the design influence of their concepts. You're pretty much seeing that with no other car company right now.

and what's wrong with a 300? When you actually buy a decent level of trim its as nice as anything out there.

LOL. I'm just sayin. It can be an aight car at the basic level, or at the top its a pretty badass car with a fit and finish as nice as anything.

Nope. Not in the least bit. GM's chassis design right now is second to none. Both the ATS and CTS are the best handling cars in their classes. I don't expect anything less from the next crop of GM cars(ie LTS, Escalade, ATS-V, CTS-V, ATS Coupe).

V models should be here soon after the Escalade and ATS Coupe.
