Respectfully disagree.

I've always liked the Citroen SM. Looks and otherwise.

It's important, though, to remember that Citroen is French for "lemon."

Ugly.. Just ugly. Doesnt look like their design team was given much flexibility in being creative..
Just take the old Caddy, last years, and modify here and there. And use a hideous roof to trunk design..

It's bad enough that the Z06 is approaching 200k in some specs, but no way in hell would I pay 300k for a Cadillac. GM is not up to the task to compete with the luxury kingpins. Their quality just isn't there. Even on the Corvette, they still cut corners.

People are going to feel really stupid when the LED disco light fad disappears from car exteriors.

The goober in gray jeans and t-shirt removes any element of "class" from the presentation. If this is intended to be an upscale luxury car, a distinguished gentleman in a suit is a better look.

Then again, they may be catering to the ghetto thug rapper crowd whose record company forwards them a couple million just to keep them out of jail.

I agree. Everything is stupid expensive. I’m still embarrassed about spending near 100 large for a pickup truck.

They should have named it "Eclipse" because staring at it long enough will blind you.

Celestiq

Celeste = heavenly, celestial, etc
iq = ick, disgusting

I guess the name roughly means "god awful"

I bet they'll at least sell 10 of them...to Enterprise for rental use.

Absolutely horrific looking.
