I had seen a single shot of the car from one angle only and was disappointed. But now that I've seen these, I like it.

The center treatment in the dash is very nice.

They've got a good interior (finally), and the performance should be good also. Caddy just needs a car with styling that appeals to younger buyers. Their target market is getting old and dying off. Oldsmobile was actually heading in the right general direction for a while, but of course they had to kill that off. They should just take a BMW 3 series and copy the thing exactly except for a few details, stick their engine and interior in there and throw on a Cadillac logo, and call it a day.

Looks like Pontiac's 08' seems similiar to the Caddy's 07. I like the new look of Pontiac (with a 300 HP v8).

Yes, Jessica Alba has sharp knees right? You're looking at pictures of a car in a thread talking about how it looks and the best you come up with is "foot brake". Some people are just always looking for something to criticize.

OMG, she DOES have sharp knees!

Anyway...I still don't like the gigantic grill and it didn't look any better in person...guess I'll have to see it on the road. Center console looks nice but a bit busy.

well, the dash does look like something other than a '95 camaro, so that is a vast improvement.

I think it looks great...although some better wheels are needed. I'm not talking some crazy chrome wheels...just something a bit more aggressive..and at least 18".

Agreed about the wheels. It needs some better wheels and foglights in the bumper and it would be perfect.

Beautiful Caddie.:thumbups;

Don't really care much for the looks, but the CTS-V is going to be absolutely bonkers. Can't wait for it to show M3 and IS-F who that there is no replacement for displacement.

I'm 29 and like the way it looks. I think Cadillac has been doing a good job of making their cars more appealing to younger people.

I saw one on the road a couple of weeks ago in the Detroit area. It looks OK but I think I prefer the old one over this one. It looks kind of squished from front to back to me.

Bleh. They must have Bangle's evil cousin working for Cadillac. I'm impressed with the engineering and overall drivetrain leaps that they've made over the past 5 years, but ye-gads those are fugly cars.

I think the best looking caddys are the Allante (why did they kill this?) and the 60 special :)

Lol speaking of Cadillac, does anyone here remember the ridiculous time when GM decided to throw a Cadillac emblem on a Chevy Cavalier and called it 'Cimmaron'? Hilarious.
