1. CTS=Cool Terrific Sedan

   This is one of the best made cars coming from GM.

   Well done.

2. WoW, it actually looks like a hatch in that first pic, but that’s not a BAD thing. It reminds me a little of the Cavalier Hatch from awhile back….again, but really a bad thing. But what is that in there next to it in that last pic?

3. The Provoc Concept. Another nice looking one…

4. A hatchback Caddy. LOL!

5. it’s not a hatch.

   The designers decided against a hatch because they were afraid or reactions like yours….

   No, not a hatch, but, rather, styled like one. The reaction is still the same even if it’s just a typical trunk.

   I wonder why Americans are so skittish about hatchbacks. They’re ever so practical, but people can’t seem to grow up.

   Hatch issue aside, I love Cadillac’s new style.

7. I am in love. Any word on a drop-top version?

8. It’s weird that Americans are designing cars that look like a hatchback but have a regular trunk, and Europeans are designing sedans with a hatchback-like trunk (the new Skoda Superb; also, BTW, the Seat Toledo of the early 90s).

9. finally, a 2010 model that actually looks like it comes from the year 2010.

   i think there’s a lot of stigma leftover (from the early 80s) about hatchbacks. plus if you want to hide something in the trunk (like a dead body) it’s a separate space from the passengers. that decaying corpse smell really gets into the leather after a while.

10. I hope the tops of the taillights get lopped off, and it grows real door handles. Other than that, pretty desirable.

11. So it’s a notchback coupe that looks like a hatch.
    But they didn’t want to make a hatch, because Americans don’t like hatches.
    But it looks like a hatch.
    And like a triangle.
    Got it!
