This is basically the Cadillac LaCrosse, right? Can't say I like them going that direction, seems like regression.

Why can't they do something with the front that doesn't say old man.

To be fair, "old man" is exactly who they built that car for.

I don't think its bad at all, I like it. It looks like a larger CTS.

Not bad, but seems more a "safe" and inoffensive design than an "understated" yet impressive and compelling one -- there is a difference. Just seems to lack a certain visual dynamism or something that the Europeans usual have, Americans sometimes have and Asian designs rarely have.

I think its mostly the front end, which seems a bit foreshortened -- a few more inches added behind the front wheels would really make this design pop if you ask me, giving it a more elongated, elegant yet dynamic look.

The body lines look great but that front end has got to go. You can tell that they almost want to put a nice body curve to it. Enough with the straight lines and cuts also. Reminds me of a brick with wheels.

I don't think it looks half-bad but I too will be glad when they move away from the awful stealth fighter styling they've inexplicably embraced in the past few years.
