Top Gear and the Cadillac Sixteen Concept

[Intrepidation]

Even today this car is stunning.

Keep in mind that this review is from 2003. I can't believe they let him smoke a cigar in there.

This is like the 4th time this video has been posted here.

Yet I still was happy to see it since it never gets boring.

GM: please listen to reason.... we're sick and tired of the

concept song and dance. No one likes a c*ck tease.

You built the SIXTEEN to showcase what you're capable

of building when you put your mind to it. now build the

dog-damned car and price it whatever it takes to make

enough of a profit to justify it. Build 200 of them in a 5

year span, that's 40 a year. Price each one at half a $

million, that's $100,000,000 gross. I can not see why

that would not be enough to make a great profit margin.

Krist on a Kracker even if you loose $50,000,000 on the

deal you're still making out because the SIXTEEN will be

the bigggest, best, most over the top rolling billboard for

GM in the history of the company. You can not BUY that

kind of advertising! Every millionare a$$hole from Keith

Richards to Donald Trump will buy one.

Cadillac dealerships will be littered with Bentleys & R.R.s

as rappers, actors, dot.com survivors, Princes, Sheiks,

Sultans, the 21st century Rockefellers of the world & all

manner of people born with a Versace 24 karat gold

plated spoon in their mouth all flock to Cadillac dealers

to own the closest car to a modern day Duesenberg that

has existed since the '57/'58 Eldorado Brougham.

Seriously the 4th time? Oh well.

I still believe that it's the finest showcase of Cadillac's Art & Science design language, bar none.

Agreed... love the design...the interior detail, exterior details, rear, greenhouse, the whole package...kind of the dream Cadillac.

I fall in love every time I see the Sixteen.

I can't belive they let him smoke in too, but the car was at the last Woodward Dream Cruise and was looking in pretty sad shape.

There was quite a few paint chips, a small dent on the rear bumper and a large crack in the glass roof.

It's still a nice car, I sat in it and messed around with the interior and what not, the seats are very worn from having so many people sit in it.

Sorry double post.

Absolutely, this concept car is so hot, even funkmaster flex wants one.

[AxelTheRed]

If they do decide to build it, it better be built in Detroit. It would be a blasphemy if it weren't. Can't have a halo car of this magnitude and not build it in the brand's native town.

[aaaantoine]

Bah! I wanted to see it, but the BBC had it taken down.

[escaladephantom]

That concept car is the sleekest and sexiest ever built.

[carstar]

This would make a great ng DTS.

[Intrepidation]

Bah! I wanted to see it, but the BBC had it taken down.

It's back up, enjoy!

Great video and great car. GM can do it.

[pow]

Wonder if they can graft that body onto a GMT900 frame. Give it a new interior, make a handful, and it'll sell based on looks alone.
