It looks nice enough back to the B-pillar, but should a Cadillac really have a rear end from a '71 Mustang? Ewww.

and you thought the rear visability was bad in the sedan... The only thing I think you'd be able to see out the back window of this thing would be the roof of a semi's ultra tall sleeper before it crushes you.

The back of this new Cadillac from the doors to the rear looks like they borrow cues from the Pontiac G6 coupe. Plain UGLY. Prefer the 4 door version.

I'm actually okay with the back, but I'm not a fan of the old-style CTS-V nose.

I think Cadillac needs to call Jenny Craig on this one.

This car is Lost in Translation.

You guys are nuts.
 
That's the hottest car from Cadillac ever.

Flat out awesome.
 
As for visibility, what do you expect? All supercars and many SUVs have poor visibility.

The only recommendation I'd make is to lower the rear haunches. It looks aggressive, but unbalanced.

The new BMW M3 does not have any visibility problems.

Ok, thats one car. My point is that many high dollar cars, like the Corvette, GT-R, Ferraris, Lamborghinis arent the greatest when it comes to visibility. In any case this thing will most likely come with a backup camera anyway which solves the problem.

Is this related to the Holden Concept 60? While the Cadillac looks great, I like the toned-down Holden concept even better.

So are they saying this is production?
because its look a lot like a picture of the concept except in red

Very nice looking coupe but I still get a Toyota Celica .....AMC Javelin vibe from the design.

LOL no it doesn't. Reliance on backup cameras is really dangerous.

Dangerous or not it seems that is the route everyone is taking to compensate for poor visibility or a bigger size.

Not BMW. Their 3 and 5 series are tops of their class. Funny how that is.

I've owned a BMW 5 Series and Mercedes CLK. This will be my next toy.
