3700 lbs in a class where 4400 is the norm. That kind of weight difference is pretty much unheard of.

This car tech is insane ! Man , I like everything about the looks since I saw the commercial. The interior design seem like a carryover and boring though . 360 Camara? Now that I the only thing I would put on my Camaro from this car.

So did your GM friends finally impressed you? Now I really can't wait to see what Tech the 6th Gen Camaro will have. Ppl better stop doubting the 200 weight loss from the 6th Gen Camaro too.

Bank Vault levels of quietness. Somebody deserves an extra cookie for that one. This thing is a technological marvel. This car should change the game for Cadillac. I also don't see how the prospective luxury buyer wouldn't be blown away by this car. It's crazy to think a car of that size with that many options is lighter than my 1LE. Nicely done.

Yea, I think it will be too. Just alot of lightness , so I'm just wondering how the heck . Unless this car is going to be priced out this world because light weight material as we all know isn't cheap.

Lightweight material doesn't mean less strong these days. I just want to sit in one. It would take weeks to learn and use all the available technology. The video is great and shows a different angle of the front end that adds another dimension that isn't showing in these pics. Just plain gorgeous.

Its competitors all start around 75 grand. I doubt this will be much below that.

Yea , true ! Plus the cars from the German competitors are high price because they are made over there. Price will be interesting to see! Gm is making some impressive looking cars and trucks . If they could make the SUV's as food looking!
