Cadillac teases production ELR ahead of Detroit Auto Show

General Motors has just confirmed that the 2014 Cadillac ELR will make its official debut next month at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. We've already seen the ELR testing earlier this year using the same range-extended electric drive system as the Chevrolet Volt, and based on the shadowy image above, we're happy to see that the coupe's styling has stayed pretty true to 2009 Converj Concept.

The two-door ELR will be built alongside the Volt at GM's Detroit-Hamtramck plant starting later next year. Aside from this info, Cadillac has remained tight-lipped on the specific details of the car. But all that will all change on January 15.

Wonder if it supposed to be superior to the Volt.

I love how it looks inside and out. If this is indeed Volt based, which is Cruze based...that is a hard pill to swallow when its priced 50-60k

i think it looks great overall... much much much nicer than Cruze

They need to at least give it an AWD option then. No FWD Caddy's please

Not feeling the look of that so far. Hopefully the next round of pics is more appealing.

Its ok i guess.

What is the target market for a car like this?

Predict - prob will sell very badly and last couple of model years.

I am assuming people are more apt to pay 40k plus for a Caddy and not a Chevy. Most probably won't give a **** its Cruze based and buy it for a forward thinking and different electric car.

Could turn into the new "Cool" car ala Hollywood etc.

Think of it as based on the Buick Verano/Opel Astra rather than the Chevy Cruze. New tagline: "This is not your dad's Cimarron".

This is what the Volt should have been. It is much easier to wrap your head around a $45,000+ Cadillac coupe than a $40,000+ Chevy subcompact. Had it been sold as a Cadillac from the beginning (and only as a Chevrolet in the second-generation or later), it may even have sold more, I believe.

I think I'm in love. Great lines and a sweet interior. Let's see how this plays out when it hits the market.
