First Look: Cadillac Ciel Concept
For those of you getting tired of the same-old-same-old rides from Cadillac that last few years (See: futuristic styling with unique lines), then the General Motors luxury maker may have something refreshing for you.
At the Monterey Car Classic in Monterey, California this past week, Cadillac debuted their newest concept - the Ciel, a drop-top concept with room for four. The details from AutoBlog.com: Quote:
I like it. I'm the kind of guy, though, that looks for beauty in cars as much as functionality and this is a good looking car. It suggests to me the the classic roots/retro vibe that we all wish our favorite manufacturers would try and this looks pretty successful (in my opinion, anyway). It speaks to me as a car that I would like to take out and cruise in with the radio playing some relaxing music while I enjoy the scenery and the company, thanks especially to it's likely roots reaching all the way back to the boats of cars that cruising Cadillacs used to be. I'm not typically high on Cadillac products, and I realize this is only a concept and is unlikely to see a showroom floor, but if Cadillac is capable of this as a concept, I would really like to see what they could do with a production-model retro-inspired car. Who knows - maybe Cadillac will surprise everyone and put it into production. I can only hope.

Nice, as I said on Skype it, is a really nice evolutionary design exercise, but it will never see production.
It sort of says "we at GM can design pretty cars, we just choose not to".
