I understand that you and others might feel that way, but in the 21st century, all bets are off on how and where auto companies move with autos. We had SUV or CUV and now CUV is just called SUV, so I think change is the one inevitable thing. Lucid is nice, Tesla is ugly to me. I am digging the look of the CELESTIQ. It truly stands out compared to other autos, especially the Mercedes which I think is going to get lost as others bring out luxury EVs to base EVs.2 points

The rear quarter is my favorite part, esp. in profile. I like the long hatchback shape, instead of a predictable 3 box sedan profile. Huge blind spots, though..kind of wonder if it needed windows in the back hatch side triangles...looks like the upper taillights are part of the hatch (the seam that goes down the side)...I like the red interior, instead of the usual despair gray or black that GM does so much of..2 points

Inspired by the 120-year heritage of Cadillac, the design and engineering teams have conceived what Cadillac's electric future will lead with in the CELESTIQ flagship sedan. Reveal-Cadillac-CELESTIQ-Show-Car.mp4 Magalie Debellis, Manager for Cadillac Advanced Design had this to say about the CELESTIQ: “The CELESTIQ show car is the purest expression of Cadillac,” “It brings to life the most integrated expressions of design and innovation in the brand’s history, coalescing in a defining statement of a true Cadillac flagship.” The Teams at Cadillac immersed themselves in the artisanship and customization as defined by early Cadillac sedans such as the bespoke V-16 powered coaches of the prewar era, the hand-built 1957 Eldorado Brougham, thus bring us to the culmination of heritage in the CELESTIQ with innovative production methods and the newest cutting edge technologies. Inspiration was further pulled from what Cadillac considers a mid-century masterpieces of architect Eero Saarinen and other iconic American designs that made era-defining statements upon introduction and endured with distinctive timelessness. Combining function and form in a beautiful package allows the Cadillac CELESTIQ to immerse the customer using all of their senses as they connect with the vehicle through the finest genuine materials, exceptional detailing and advanced technology. This starts with high-definition, advanced LED interactive displays from the dash 55" diagonal display to the four other HD Displays in the auto. Attention to details is what the CELESTIQ is all about. Hand-crafted attention to detail is what harnesses the Cadillac vision for the future tied to innovative technologies such as an industry first variabl-transmission Smart Glass Roof and Ultra Cruise, General Motors next evolution of available hands-free driver assistance technology which Cadillac plans to offer on the CELESTIQ. To quote the press release: The Smart Glass Roof features Suspended Particle Device (SPD) technology that allows for four zones of variable lighting, enabling passengers to fine-tune their cabin experience for completely personalized comfort and visibility. Additionally, the 55-inch-diagonal advanced LED display introduces a passenger display with electronic digital blinds, an active privacy technology, which is designed to allow passengers to enjoy video content while blocking it from the view of the driver. This advanced technology with exceptional detailing and the finest materials available is what will lead Cadillac into the next century. Additional CELESTIQ details on the production model will be announced later in 2022.1 point -
It is currently their flagship EV sedan. We are clearly talking about EVs here.1 point

Don't bother. The "criticize anything by GM but free pass Benz for greater design offenses" in him is not going to give an objective opinion here. Somehow, basic and lazy jellybean design will win out from the "best or nothing". Fact is that this is not like anything Cadillac has put out before and that is how it should be. Again, aiming higher. I'm not a huge fan of the windless rear pillar area but I sure as hell would not kick this out of the driveway if it just mysteriously popped up one morning.1 point

The shape isn't new, it's just an ugly shape.

I much prefer a station wagon OR a sedan. Please don't blend them.1 point

Hey Biff, how is this any different than the station wagons Mercedes is putting out. If anything, this is a hybrid between a station wagon and a sedan with at least a luxury look to it. Way better looking than the EQS which is just a BLAH Jellybean and has a hideous interior. This at least look's Luxury in comparison to Mercedes. Power and Performance, Mercedes did not talk about it till the production came out and it is anything but class leading after all it is supposed to be a luxury executive auto, not a race car. So let's compare: CELESTIQ EQS CELESTIQ Interior, Only dash available. EQS Top of the line Dash EQS most common dash ordered. CELESTIQ is a Home Run Hit for Luxury and I think the reviews will prove it when this auto goes into production.

Yeah, it's still going on and on...forever COVID, it seems...booster shots will be an annual thing like flu shots probably. I'm still cautious around crowds and indoor events.. life goes on... I still do a lot of take out/delivery of food, but occasionally go to a restaurant, esp. if they have outdoor seating...and have been to 1/2 dozen concerts so far this summer..trying to have some normalcy, cautiously.1 point

I went to a Greek dive on the way home tonight and got a generous serving of chicken souvlaki sticks, wonderfully seasoned, and served with tzatziki sauce, pita wedges, and tomatoes. I had no room for dessert. Sort of like this and a portion about this size.1 point

I am not an EQS fan, but I think the EQS looks better than the Celistiq. The Celistiq looks more like Cadillac's take on an Audi RS6 Avant (which the Audi looks better too) and not their take on a Bentley or Rolls. Also the EQS isn't the flagship Mercedes, this is: And it's the only certified Level 3 self driving car available.0 points

Looks too much like a station wagon, it doesn’t look expensive on the outside. The inside is tacky but it’s a concept car and they’ll change that and make it more normal on the production version. I guess they don’t want to talk power or performance until the production version is shown.-2 points
