The Cadillac Ciel concept looks pretty sexy. I love cadillac because of the combination of luxury and raw power. I however have always hated how they looked. Until now:

Beautiful. Love the Art Deco design cues. Reminds me of the Holden Efijy concept in that regard.

This wouldn't be designed as a daily driver peeps. It's the car you load up your entourage in and be seen coming and leaving a function.

Wow. Probably would never see it, but it's better than anything that the other luxury makers would put out.

Looks like they are going to market it to drive only on sunny days with no chance of rain...and to people who are too young to worry about skin cancer.

to me, it looks like a piece of art. it has great styling, but not styling of my preference.

i love the suicide doors. and any color outside of the black mirror that it is currently painted with would not do the car justice.

the front, as someone mentioned before, looks like it is a 300 with a caddy grille. the rear looks like it has the same lines as an Acura front (the "shield" concept) but with tail lights from a DTS that look out of place. i'm not a fan of the rims, but i don't really have an eye for what would look better. the vehicle also seems really long, almost 70's-esque.

This is all Cadillac styling. In fact, it takes cues from the late 60s, especially up front:

Funny you should post that ... I was just thinking the Ciel's crying out for double-stacked round headlights. Its headlights are most unfortunate. Went for "futuristic" and got "fug." I know Bentley's doing round, but not vertical.
