Someone took the Cadillac Ciel, photoshopped it black, and gave it a roof. A thicker C-pillar and more angular roofline would be nice, but otherwise this is stunning.

Cadillac still hasn't revealed official teasers of its future flagship car, saying only that it will borrow design cues from the Ciel.

I wasn't really a fan of the vertical lights on the ciel, so something better with the front end would be nice for me... the side profile is AMAZING though.

Maybe it's just me, but I see a lot of Chrysler 300 in that side profile. I wouldn't mind seeing this on the road.

Roofline is a little too Chrysler 300 for me. Which isn't really bad. It's just not Cadillac. Definitely needs a thicker C-Pillar as Jesda said.

Aside from that, though, it looks fantastic. It could maybe use a couple more inches of rear deck now that there's a solid roof sitting on top of it. But at the same time the overhangs don't need to get any bigger, so I could live with it as it is.

I like it a lot. I think that would particular rendering would be sweet with rear suicide doors.

Yes, suicide doors would be wicked. No way they'd make it into production nowadays, but I'd love to see it. I wish more cars had suicide doors :(

I like the C-pillar just the way it is, and I actually think those headlights flow with the front end pretty well.

The wheels and tires don't really work for me though. They just don't look like they are comfortable or befitting of such a large sedan.
