    I've never seen the one listed as 1971...interesting. I've found a number of pics online of '72-74-ish deVilles and Fleetwoods with the crest w/ V under it, and with and without a stand-up hood ornament w/ the wreath...the 71 pics I've found don't seem to have the V under the crest. (probably time to spawn off a separate thread about Caddy badging through the years).

    Seems like it would be a retrograde move...can't imagine any legitimate business reason to do so.

    Was '99 when they got rid of the duckies? I went outside and checked the '00 DTS..the grille emblem has no duckies, but the decklid one has them.

    Seems like a good rat rod/beater truck candidate...make it mechanically sound, leave the body as is or spray it all in primer and drive it...

    'Elmiraj' reminds me of a Phoenix suburb...(El Mirage). Maybe the name is intentional...The Mirage...you think you see something then it's gone...concept cars come and go pretty fast usually.

    An American icon. A cousin of mine worked for Toyota in Kentucky building these for the last 20+ years...got a new one every couple of years. I wouldn't want one, but I understand their appeal..

    Hopefully they come up with a better name for the big sedan than 'LTS'...LTS is so dull, sounds like a Chevy trim level..

    The top view is probably my favorite angle...love the length of the hood, the sculpting of the hood and deck..and the proportions that are so clearly RWD and not weak FWD...

    Maybe this is a preview of the new wreathless emblem that's been mentioned previously...

    205 is much better than 191, IMO. Maybe this isn't a CTS coupe concept but something larger, related to a future full size flagship sedan...

    The front and profile are great, but the rear--OMG And the top view...

    Wow...just saw it on Caddy's FB page. Wow. The Elmiraj.

    Or contemporary clothing lines like Sean John, Fubu, Rockawear or G-Unit (the Navigator was once a hip-hop icon,they could have leveraged those brands there...)

    'Hydromatic'--water logged transmission would be consistent w/ the rust..

    9:30 in what time zone?

    re: Carling Black Label in the US, according to Wikipedia: In 1979, after several years of intense pressure from the larger American Brewers Miller and Anheuser-Busch, Carling-National was bought out by the Heileman Brewing Co. of LaCrosse, Wisconsin. Carling and the Black Label brand are currently owned by the Molson Coors Brewing Company. In the United States, the Black Label brand is owned by the Pabst Brewing Company. Though no longer widely distributed in the U.S., Black Label remains the official beer of Beer Frisbee.[4]

    'designo' is indeed lower case...http://www.mbusa.com/mercedes/benz/design/designo 'Black Label' reminds me of Johnny Walker and the AMG Black Series subbrand. Has Cadillac done anything like this yet?

    Surprised this hasn't been available for years...

    I thought the only thing that came out of the GM-Subaru alliance was the Saab 9-2x...

    Well, Lexus has never had names, only alphanumerics. And they previously had a coupe called the SC, so RC is consistent.

    Chevy has been going in the opposite direction w/ the Corvette, $50k pickups, etc..quite a spread in price between a Spark and a ZR1. MB needs to attract younger buyers, younger buyers like small and are more price-sensitive, women like CUVs, this will sell...as does BMW's X1 and Audi's upcoming Q1. I would think Lexus and Cadillac will get into this niche eventually. They could have made something like this and badged it as a Smart, but they can sell more and at a higher price point as an MB.
  22. Robert Hall
    I bet it will be a hit..women love luxury CUVs.
  23. Robert Hall
    Well, they don't have Chrysler products anymore for the lower priced niches, and they can't seem to scale up Smart, and they want to attract younger buyers...
  24. Robert Hall
    Competitor for the X1 and Q1, I guess...
  25. Robert Hall
    All resources should have a standard national id card identifying them and their citizenship, IMO. Would be very useful.
