New design director to shape future Cadillac

Cadillac has appointed Clay Dean as its new global design director, who’ll be spearheading the design of several new Cadillac models over the next several years. Dean has been working for GM since 1988 and has been employed as its design director for small and mid-sized cars since 2004. During much of this time he has developed three new vehicle architectures and helped with the design work for the Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky roadsters, as well as the Chevrolet Cobalt, HHR and the new Malibu sedan.

I don't know if this is a good or a bad thing yet. I think that both the roadster designs are good and that the new malibu looks like it can at least compete somwhat in the looks department with it's foreign competiters. However the Cobalt and HHR both are terrible designs.

I pray to god he dosen't envision the Cobalt when he design's the new (B)TS...BabyTS. He needs to channel the design spirit that created it's big brother the CTS. That car is georgous.

Also, I hope the the BRX cross over he develops dosen't look anything like that horrendous SRX they are getting rid of.

Why? They're already doing so well with the new CTS. That is honestly the most desirable Cadillac in at least 30 years.

I agree, its the closest american car to the europeans.
