Looks like a 2004 Benz C Class.

yup

epic armericana mimicking European sport/luxury
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're right , Looks nothing like the 300 which was a copy of a Phantom which you could say was a copy of a Lincoln Continental

Yes it is , I love this car guy wants $60K for it lol jackass

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.

OH my Goodness Gracious........Cadillac has been proven for the past 8yrs or so that they belong in the same conversation as Mercedes and BMW....it's still a caddy...I don't know what the hell ya'll talking about.....this new Design is holding it's own....so what, everyone is copying each other's these days....

I had a 1959 Cadillac Coupe Deville, a 1967 Cadillac Deville Convertible and a 1975 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible. Those were all real Cadillacs. I don`t even know what these are anymore.

I`m sure its a great car, but I just really love the tailfins and boats of yesteryear. I would rather have this new CTS than the BMW`s and such for sure.

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.
-
it's like the benz c300's front-end, but i think caddy introduced that style first. that's about it. i'd take it over my contractor issued nissian sentra. ::)
-
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

I'll stick with my Audi RS4 Avant.

Coool
The rear half seems a lot like a newer S Class Mercedes.
-
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)
-
crap, pure crap- all kitschy and big rusty ,, just bleah

Eh not really

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

What they said at a Japanese luxury car and Lexus redefined the market and forced Europeans to compete on their level

I don't care about speed and performance, I only care about comfort and NO ONE does it better then Cadillac.

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.

you haven't done anything to aid the success of your country leech, so don't worry you aren't important and your life is valueless , hope thats clear to you.

sorry if i hurt ur feelings, sir lol.. pming people with your real account fishing for info about a 50 year old bodybuilding midget and a reformed scuzbucket whore, regurgitating the info with a gimmick merely out of fear lol, wow. not a healthy coping mechanism for such and important and respected individual like you.
your mothers sole qualification for parenthood was a womb to catch the semen of transient truck drivers.

Damn my Grandpa had one just like that brings back memories of him.

And the LSX engines Caddy has access to completely annhilate their European rivals. BMW and Mercedes are absolute shit....marked up tens of thousands of dollars here in the US for a gussied up car thats nothing more than a taxicab in Europe.

I need a paint job I seen the benz and did some research they use swarski crystals to do it and paint jobs cost 2-3 grand after careful calculations and gh15 calling the cia I found it would only cost 1,500 dollars for the crystals :D

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.
