personally, id like to see the revival of the honda prelude. but this is a GM site, so i'll stick to a cadillac s-class fighter.

i have a theory that war and fighting among humans is natural. There's this series on the National Geographic Channel Canada that follows the behaviour of africa's top predators when there is a long drought and food is scarce (with humans that could be being poor and hungry, which often causes crime). What do the predators do? they go to war, literally. They fight with eachother constantly, cubs are killed and the mothers forced to eat them. Hungry lions cant wait to devour their prey after cathing them, and the prey are eaten alive. Its a cruel world, and it all has to do with our competitive instincts and desire to survive.

humans just have an advanced method to war, a far more lethal method.

humanity can never live in peace, if it isnt bush or saddam, its someone else. Fear, hunger and anger drives us to these things, and those feelings are sometimes uncontrollable. Personally, i get mighty cranky when im hungry

We dig masculinity, you dig femininity.  Pretty simple.  Yes there are hot chicks, I acknowledge that, just as you notice hot dudes, I'm sure.  But you don't want to get with those hot dudes, just the same, I don't want to get with hot chicks.

You cannot help what makes you pitch a tent.  Neither can I.  No rocket science involved.

so its more like a feeling you cant control, like falling in love. it doesnt have anything to do with exploration (i.e, you're bored with women and you want to try new things).

those of you who are gay, do you not find women even remotely attractive? Women in every way are far more beautiful then men IMO.

no offence intended to anyone, im just curious. :AH-HA_wink:

and here it is:

may i present the cadillac XTC, a high performance coupe with a dash of elegance and luxury. I hope you like.

last one ;...Eldorado coupe:

that's what im talking about mr.metal! Looks very modern yet retro. Only thing id change would be the headlights, but otherwise its perfect (especially from the rear view, where the roofline looks more curvy).

Im done my second entry, and ill post it tommorrow.

Here's an idea for a small, sporty Cadillac coupe based on the Kappa platform.

its nice, but i think you need to modernize it a bit, and take it further.

i added an interior to my original post, with some luck, it may get rendered too.

i might do another one too, this time im thinking ill go a bit retro modern, large and luxurious.

here are some of my thoughts regarding the entries so far:

YJ- love the design, very sharp and i LOVE the roofline, very sexy. However, i cant say the same for the interior. IMO It looks a bit cluttered and weird. I think some normal gauges will make it better, and the center stack, while attractive, doesnt seem very practical (with the wedge shape) IMO, perhaps you should make the top part (up until the vents) "wedgy", and curve it out when you get to the bottom. and add a CD slot while your at it I hope that helps.

Monte- also a fairly attractive design, but overall, IMO it looks a bit dated, which is fine if thats what you're going for, but i suggest looking to the STS/SRX for some inspiration for making it more modern. Also, you need to make your door handels smaller :AH-HA_wink:

Mr. Metal- i think what would benefit you the most would be ditching the whole retro thing. IMO the problem with your entries is that they dont really look cadillac with respect to caddys current lineup, they look too retro. Maybe if you combine some of the retro thing with caddys current design cues (like you did a bit with your XLR) it would be better.

my caddy coupe, perspective may be off, but meh.

Interior:

its funny because im rebadging my drawings, this interior i did for a caprice contest elsewhere, and i decided it fit my caddy well, so i rebadged it. There you go, im thinking like GM already!

here's another entry. This was a fun laid back attempt at a pontiac Fit killer.

i hope you like.

i did this while bored at school:

its a saab city car, i know, it doesnt have the integrated grill, thats because it wasnt a saab at first, but i thought it would look good as one later.

comeon guys, lets have some entries! I mean, is it gonna be only between me, mr. metal and monte?

Any of the above. The choice is yours.

thanks.

yaaaay!

im a little confused about the size of the vehicle, is it supposed to be civic/ corolla sized, aveo/yaris sized or can it even be a smart car competitor?
