Yes, you are correct. This is my design. and "i'd Hit it" was an attempt at provoking criticism -wich it did- weather good or bad. it's intresting seeing everyones response -mostly negative- but still well recieved. concepts like these provoke controversy all the time. the point in even placing car in the thread was to gauge what various audiences feel about the vehicle. this isnt the only forum its in nor' the last. Form vocabularies change all the time and though sharp lines dont necisarily scream out "cadillac" the idea hopefully does. the concept of luxury, refinement and innovation. so thanks guys!

as for the grill, and back to my original theme of vintage, the grill is inspired by the vents on the side of the original 30's cadillac sixteen.. grill change over time so one cant hold a cars identity to its graphics but rather its history.

many themes were adressed while designing this vehicle. it was designed specifically for the baby boomer generation and adressed thier cultural back grounds by identifying with 50-60's cadillacs that they grew up with. that adressed the issue of familiarity with the brand on thier behalf. the covered rear wheels accentuate that theme and also adress the inspiration of high powered yachts. it is supposed to be somewhat vintage and modern if not futuristic in the way the surfaces are delt with. in my opinion its something you need to see in person, but ur comments are all welcome. thanks.

thanks for your input guys.
