300 was bad enough copying the rolls royce, now i see some new ford sedan driving around that has a front end almost identical to the aston martin lol wow. this cadi is another mimic, makes domestics seem sort of desperate and pathetic.

300's are a cool car btw, but nothing original about them.

The Chinese market wanted a more rounded Euro look, and less American caddy Art and Science. Which makes no sense, as it is an American brand, with American design language. I like the front, but the back, is "meh", more of a letdown.
Everybody is going with the Lexus styled lower valance incorporated exhaust tips now.

You guys have it all backwards. The CTS 03 version was the first to come out with tall doors and short windows then in 05 Chrysler did it with their 300 copying Cadilac and now you blame the new model 2014 of copying Chrysler, lol.

Nice looking car beats my 2005 CTS by a long shot.

I gotta agree.... It's like were not even trying anymore. I don't know why we're suddenly just going full Euro on the new designs, the new Vette is very Euro looking as well. I'm not a big fan of American automobile manufacturers trying to pull off the Euro theme.

They must have a reason I suppose.

It really isn't a design style as much as it's to aid in crash/safety standards.

Problem is, the "boats" of yesterday (my mom still has her '87 Lincoln Town Car) won't sell to a public whose perception of luxury has changed...just look at what has happened to Lincoln now. Lincoln, and it's higher sub division Continental, Caddy, Mercedes and Rolls used to define the luxury dept.
Continental used to be right up there with Rolls and Bentley, and was just well put together, if not better. BMW was fighting it out with Alfa at one time...
Now, due to multiple reasons Lincoln was run into the ground.

Bmws need to get back to being what they used to be "ultimate diving machines " nowadays the 3 is basically a smaller 5 and the 5 is a smaller 7. 5 series , numb steering feel, gained 400 pds over e60, soft all over... 3 series still great but that "telepathic " feel they have been known for in the e46 and e90 is just not there

If bmw is going softer to please more buyers thy def got it , but turned around and pissed off the enthus.

The competition has def caught up and very close not like yesteryears when bmw dominated with e39 5 series or 36/46/90 3 series... They need to get back to that IMO

1. will look nothing as good as these renderings (especially in base version)
2. will have plenty of creaks and rattles as usual ( ones that dont have a fix)
3. lots of future tech dial and display gimmicks that will prove more of a nuisnace than help
4. cue system is already a pita including the lazy dimwitted touch screen.
5. if that isnt enough, the house engineers will code it withthe most annoying undefeatable bells and chimes
6. will be priced at or very near German counterparts in an attempt to declare equal status
7. europeans will never go out of their way to purchase this car (most succint proof of success)

The interior is a grand slam.

Exterior is pretty solid as well although I'm not a hug fan of the read end. The front fascia is stellar and the engine/transmissions look solid as well.

I see a bit of the new E-Class in it but not all that much and really if you look at any car long enough you will see what you want to see. If you really want to see a car company blatantly copying another manufacturer look no further than the early/mid model Lexus L-series cars compared to the Mercedes S-Class. That was carbon copying.

This will do just fine in the market place

I agree, you sit inside the car last time I checked. All of these Sentra driving Euro-snobs don't have a clue...Cadillac performance and quality is on par with the best in the world. Any top of the line 50,000 dollar has three times the performance than any driver will ever need in the real world. These car magazines thrash these cars on racetracks and nitpick over marginal performance differences. We don't drive these cars on racetracks. Nobody is throwing their 50thou car into a corner at 45 mph, throttle-steering around it and then hitting some imaginary straightaway and topping out at 175, unless they don't value their license. I know when I'm driving on a large open road, like everyone else I get the urge and punch it for a few seconds..then I realize I'm doing twice the speed limit and would wind up in some Podunk jail if I got caught and back off.

 No one has better style and comfort than a Cadillac.

 I never got the appeal of the BMW. If it's German engineering is so great why are those cars always being repaired? You can take an ordinary Toyota Camry/Nissan Altima and change the oil on a regular basis and drive it with no trouble with normal maintenance for 200k miles. Mercedes are garbage too. Expensive to maintain and expensive to fix. I guess if you can afford one the shop costs are not a consideration.

Take a look at the new CTS, that thing is a step up over the 2nd gen. Caddy is getting serious, and with the 3 series faltering now, the ATS, Lexus IS just may take BMW's cake.

Take a good look at that CTS, inside and out, and I guarantee, you'll be singing a different tune.
