    The "Daddy, I just made wee-wee inside the car" sentence could never be used as grounds for punishing your child anymore!

    Manual? Missed that one... Where in the movie does it appear?

    Add the Cascada convertible in there, and Buick would be moving one step further IMHO

    The historic influences are clear but at the same time the Avant kinda looks like something out of Star Wars

    Which, from GM's standpoint (not the dealers'), is quite dumb to offer... That would mean the return of GM's old school cannibalization again... Then again, I have long thought GMC was pointless and redundant... never understood the need for two overlapping truck brands. Well... I'd say that if the two brands aren't cross-shopped, there's no overlap even if prices were excatly the same... I guess that's (together with the fact that the changes between Chevrolet and GMC are merely cosmetic) what's kept GMC profitable and thus alive.

    Good Lord! Forgot that the Renault 19 was sold as a 2 door/convertible in the US. Renault has come a looong way since then

    I agree. But if people don't cross-shop Chevrolet with GMC even though the two are twins (or near-twins), then it makes sense to offer such a vehicle.

    as well as economies of scale in Alpha components, giving Cadillac extra exclusivity compared to the other GM offerings, and (forgive me for the teenager side resurfacing up at age 36), because Alpha is such a kick ass development in the way GM approached platform development! A Cadillac BRX and a Cadillac SRX (I think the names should not be connected to the sedan/coupe/wagon names), respectively on SWB and LWB Alpha, would be perfect in the rounding up of Cadiilac's portfolio. IMHO...

    I was referring to my notion of what the " typical level of trim on '50s cars" is Even styling-wise they seem (to my eyes) more subdued than, say, a 1958 Bel Air...

    What about a V16 instead?

    That uber-stripped character makes them the anti-1950s-typical-American-car, then... Interesting!

    Cheers! I had no clue such a vehicle ever existed...

    99% sure I've seen other pictures of the 1st one... IIRC a clay model (photographed rom the right hand side of the clay model? Can't really recall )... There's a post on Burlapp's site dated 2006 (EDIT - link: http://www.burlappcars.com/2006/03/cadillac-coupe.html) with a partially blacked out photo of what appears to be the same car... The second one makes me think of Eldorado and of GM's idea of various flagships. One way I see it is that after the LTS sedan (a 'traditional' sedan in the vein of the ATS and CTS), we may see something along the lines of this coupe as an Eldorado, or maybe use the Eldorado name for 2 higher priced Omega models: this coupe and a 4-door-coupe kind of car... Using a full name instead of alphanumerics would tie in nicely with what Cadillac does with SUVs: Escalade as top of the line; then alphanumerics for what I'd call the 'generics'

    My expectation is for the ATS coupe to be quite conservative: more of an A4-to-A5 roofline change than something radical. A CTS coupe (or an Omega-based Eldorado) should be where the styling envelope is pushed in a more dramatic way, IMHO.

    1st one is a few years old; 2nd one I saw the pic before somewhere and my guess is that it is some sort of Omega coupe, or something that could be built on Alpha+ but set entirely apart from the CTS. That 2nd one is HOT by the way!
