Seems very Mercedes C300ish....I'd consider this

Very nice! It does look mercedes-ish in the front design... but not so much that it loses its Cadillac lines. A good compromise between the X and A I think!
I can't wait to see the Coupe and Wagon, not to mention the V versions!

I wonder who's getting canned for letting the pics out early?

yes, yes and yes!

The lines are terrific.

The extra columns of lights below the headlights are slightly gaudy. Otherwise, the car looks outstanding. This is a car you'd turn around to look at once you arrive at your destination. It has a more dignified and classy look than the old CTS.

They're not going anywhere so I would get used to them. They're exponentially smaller, use less power and are significantly brighter than anything else out there and since they can be made into almost any shape and the need to make the cars as aerodynamic as possible to improve gas economy means you're probably going to be seeing more of them.

Hell the new Acura model's entire headlight is 8 high powered LEDs.

I don't think he means LEDs per se, but the use of extra strips of them as decorative design, like the ones in the bumper below the main headlights.

well again, daytime running lights are becoming a standard feature and an extra safety device, by law now in the European Union, and again, they draw almost no power and can be seen from very far distances is why I think they're still no going anywhere.

just my $0.02
