Second-Gen 2024 Cadillac CT6 Caught Undisguised In China

[NINETY EIGHT REGENCY]

I akways liked the CT6.   The 2nd gen looks to be a nicely styled one as well.  But it always felt to me as there was something missing. Some element that would make it 'pop' more.  As is, including what it seems to be the 2nd gen, is kinda bland still.   I didnt know what is missing. 

I do like the new Hoffmeister kink-ish rear C Pillar on the rear window.  Emulates the Escala. And its a great addition to the CT6. 

 

The new front end is just okay.  The old front end was equally just okay.  So its...okay.   Well...I do prefer the headlights being separated from the vertical lights in the 2nd gen.  Its a cleaner look.

Both the 1st gen and 2nd gen rear ends are nice.  I do prefer the circular tips that the 1st gen employed rather than the renctangular slits.   But not a deal breaker.  

 

1st gen is a sleek car. I gather that the 2nd gen will be the same.  I think the Hoffmeister Kink-iesh C Pillar treatment makes it sleeker.

I get that they tried to give the Gen 2 CT6 for China the Escala look.

The FAILURE is that they gave it the LYRIQ Vertical lights and an ICE version of the attempt to be like the LYRIQ with the Escala look and what only looks like a slit for air breathing above that god awful crom piece of crap at the top of the grill.

FAILURE Cadillac, FAILURE

This head on picture show to me that the chrome slot seems to be an air intake.

I just think this merge of Cadillac EV LYRIQ and an ICE with cues from Escala concept is a Failure together. Cadillac should have just given them the concept front end and it would be way better.

The more I look at the Escala Concept, they had a better flow in that front end than what the new Gen 2 CT6 is getting.

Ackward.
