Typical mirrors for a concept car, didn't they have a concept car like this before? Hopefully they actually have this one go into production.

Its not bad. Is this another vehicle courtesy of Government Motors?? Dropping a LSX into that bitch would make it even better.

It is going to be apart of Cadillac's line up in 2013


Anyone else think they NEED to bring back the Cien? 7.5L V12 Northstar XV12 engine with direct injection with 750 hp & 450 lbs tq

So basically it is the Volt if an even higher price tag?

The Cadillac ELR will feature an electric propulsion system made up of a T-shaped lithium ion battery, an electric drive unit, and a four-cylinder engine-generator.

Yes, but it will be an updated more powerful version of the system.

Rumor is it will be in the $50k range.. Pricey but no Prius has an interior & looks as good as the ELR. I think the Volt looks bad *** from the front! But those taillights kind of kill it for me..

For those of you that missed it.
