Smile New Cadillac Models..Coupe..

Cadillac, like any other self-respecting manufacturer of premium automobiles knows that crossovers and SUVs are the key nowadays, and according to a Reuters report, the Detroit luxury brand is looking to add three of them to their range, by 2017.

One will be a replacement for the current SRX, which will come one year earlier, in 2016, and will then be followed by the two other models, a bigger and a smaller one.

GM’s luxury division will try to claw back home market share from the Germans, with an approach similar to theirs, according to unnamed sources, though no specifics were given. That means an emphasis on having more desirable crossovers, but also correlating their arrival with a much-improved range of sedans, which will be crowned by a new model, called the LTS, due in 2015 (though we had information suggesting it may not happen, in fact).

The latter will get a rear-wheel drive platform, probably from the soon to be launched all-new CTS, but will be bigger and more luxurious, to compete with the BMW 7-Series and the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class – a tall order.

The Cadillac lineup will be rounded off with a coupe version of the ATS (due in 2015), the range-extender ELR coupe (scheduled for later this year) and a redesigned Escalade which arrives next spring.

Yeah great styling........... not!

I Like the way that both the front and back come to a point.
Now if you, or someone else bumps into it, you've damaged a major part of the car and not just the front or back bumper bar, which is (was) designed to protect the main body.

Look great, As Jay Leno would say, it doesn't look like it was designed in a focus group setting trying to please everyone and turning out like a Camry.

Its just a concept, not a production ready build...it doesn't need separate bumpers...
