Default Caddy supercar

Took a break to do some surfing and I came across an article about the new GM concept cars. Including this caddy, called the cien.

Here is a link to the article:

http://www.thecarconnection.com/index.asp?article=4066

Here are the pix that go along with the article. This might be the first application of the new caddy look that I really like. The pix aren't the best but the car looks pretty breathtaking in my opinion.

It will see the light of day - but it won't be nearly as cool as this. It'll be "GMized", cheapened, and snoozified to appeal to traditional Caddy buyers and to satisfy ye ol' government.

Looks really good but just needs a little reworking of the front end.

Why do I have a feeling it's trying to copy the Nissan Z or whatever it's called? Damn ... Looks quite like the Ford GT90 concept as well.

Traditional Caddy buyers are nearly 60 years old. I don't think this car(if it became a reality) would appeal to their demographic (Plush comfort and a boulevard ride).

How old is the typical Lexus owner? They came out with the IS to appeal to the more sporty, younger crowd, and it's working for them, although it's not this extreme. I like the car, it's pretty Lambo looking.
