Cheesy overstyling. But that's what GM buyers like. Not sure it'll pull much away from real luxury makers.

It has been pulling sales away from other luxury makers for years, this will only push sales higher. Nothing about it is any more cheesy than what other luxury brands are doing.

Actually the demographic for the ATS/CTS is quite a bit younger than previous Caddy's. I'm 32 and I know quite a few friends in my age range are looking at Cadillac's much more seriously than ever before. I've already know a couple that have switched from German imports to the CTS and another is looking at buying an ATS with the 2L Turbo.

It really isn't your grandpa's Cadillac anymore.

Ha. Go ahead and buy from one of the "real luxury makers" if it makes you feel better. I'll take one of these head-turning beauties

Those headlights just "out-Audi'd" Audi.

Kia offers a similar headlight package as an option - as of a few years ago.

Real innovative.

Kia offered LED headlights a few years ago? Wrong.

Automakers going bug-eyed over LEDs - USATODAY.com

You're right that LED's are making appearances on lower-end vehicles but they were brought to market by Audi a couple years back and have been further refined as time went on. I'd be willing to bet the LED DRL's on the Caddy CTS are quite a bit better than something Kia puts on their Sportage.

Learn to read. Nobody said they were being innovative. It's just an evolution of a design they have had for over ten years now. LEDs are very popular. BTW the Escalade had LEDs before Audi or Kia, so there goes your argument.
