Cadillac teases a "glamour" concept to be revealed in 2013

During an event for media at Pebble Beach, Cadillac design maestro Clay Dean said it was time for the brand to "reflect back not for nostalgia, but what made us great at the time." The visual aids provided with the statement were two teaser images of a concept car that will be revealed at an auto show in 2013.

Looking like it received input from Speed Racer and the Mach 5, the front has lines that could be high exaggerations of the Ciel concept. Dean gave no indication what kind of Cadillac this might be, only that will begin to crystallize the brand's new informal philosophy of "American glamour meets American technology."

Interesting... other than the fact maybe its just me, but the 2nd picture doesn't look like anything to me. Is it a rear shot or side shot?

Exactly what Caddy needs. Great to see a real flagship concept coming. Hope they do produce it as they said it would.

a tease for a concept car that won't be out 'til next year, meaning something someone could buy won't be here until what, 2015? what purpose does this kind of announcement really serve? will someone be more likely to buy a cadillac now, knowing the company will be coming out with something years from now? i can see an actual concept bringing some excitement, but two pieces of abstract sketches?

if it helps gm pay back to the taxpayers the billions the govt stole to give to them and uaw though, i'm all for it.
