I know everyone hates them around here, so do I, but maybe it’s just what Cadillac needs so they can continue building V cars and manual ATSes.

XT7 Coupe? Or, XT7 Biarritz?

I guess it helps by starting with a base that actually looks good.

I like them when they look good. Luckily, this looks good.

I would say same size as the XT5, so squarely at the GLE Coupe and X6.
So maybe XT6.

I had heard that they might have that name designated already.

Oh hey they stole the LED signature right off the Honda Clarity!

I wouldn’t be surprised, most likely for their Enclave rebadge.
Then maybe XL6... but then they might get sued by Suzuki.

agree - I don’t like most of these “SUV Coupe” thingies, (Acura ZDX is the exception) but that’s not half bad. Give the masses what they want I say!

As much as I hate these style of vehicles, they should totally build this.

Actually now I’m not so sure... looks like the lower part is chrome that doesn’t actually light up.

That’s actually quite good looking. Definitely aimed at the Velar styling wise, and less the X4/6.

That would sell really well, I honestly can’t believe that Cadillac still only has the XT5 and Escalade in this SUV heavy market

GM has trademarked XT2 through XT8, though that doesn’t guarantee they’ll all be used.

XT4 is on the way next year. Hopefully it incorporates the Escala styling.

Either way, they didn’t steal it from Honda. Escala was August 2016, Clarity was April 2017, almost a full year before it.

Magazines were doing first drives of the Clarity FCV back in November of 2015. Like most cars that look similar they probably came about totally independently. I made the comment mainly because I just saw a wild Clarity and it was a total WTF moment. Not too many cars on sale today I totally forget exist because I see them rarely.

So, you’re saying Jiangling Landwind could make an XT10, if they wanted to?

Sure. A9 and 9 series is also available.

It would ride on the excellent ats/CT’s chassis and slap a ttv6 in it with a V version with the lt7(?) twin turbo Dohc v8 and it would make my pants tight. Quick hatchback that you could lower back to normal height.

WOW. If they were Volvo they could bring something 95% that into production. But they are Cadillac, so no. That exact body with a slightly improved ttv6 and a 6 speed would be my dream sedan.

Probably more I-PACE than Velar though.

GM can produce cars which are darn close to the concept too, but that’s rather the exception than the norm.

Oh yeah, I just can’t believe that Cadillac did the ATS, CTS, XTS and CT6 before they went after the growing SUV market

I think they wanted to establish a reputation that would be more accepted internationally with a well rounded lineup rather than just becoming an SUV brand.
