Cadillac is expecting the go-ahead to build a new flagship based on the same platform as the Ciel concept car.

General Motors is expected to give the go-ahead to Cadillac’s flagship Omega project before year-end, according to senior sources, the maker’s top management encouraged by the overwhelmingly positive reaction of the luxury division’s new Ciel concept vehicle.

I guess they are beginning to listen? Like Chevy did for the Camaro?

At least we already know what it will look like in a head on collision!

ps
With all the grey-hairs and their "overwhelmingly positive reaction" in the first pic, I guess I see the need for a shawl dispenser. But, what, no Viagra dispenser??? Or is that cleverly hidden? Hmmmmmm

Only an International Man of Mystery would be concerned with where the Viagra dispenser is... I guess even Austin Powers needs a boost from time to time.

You should let them know so they do it for you next time.You probably need it now in whatever you drive.

I think people are missing an important point of distinction from the article -- it doesn't say they are greenlighting the Ciel as you see it, it says they are greenlighting a "new flagship based on the Ciel platform". So if you're expecting a road going version of that concept car to be rolling down the street near you anytime soon, you're probably going to be disappointed. What you're likely to see is a (much more traditional) large range-topping sedan using the Ciel architecture.

The XTS is replacing the STS/DTS so no, its not really their flagship. This new car based on the Ciel's platform (which won't be a convertible I'm sure) will be a S Class/7 series/A8 rival supposedly.

This concept sucks. So far from production as to be a total waste of time. Looks like a Kleenex box with a Cadillac grille. I drew more interesting cars when I was six.
