What do you guys think?
Profile is traced (for accuracy), details are filled in.
I think it'll probably have some more differentiating features, I'm kind of hoping the side trim from the Elmiraj will make its way on to the production.
2014 CTS for comparison:

Looks plausible, nice job. I just hope the pinnacle of American luxury doesn't look so generic, when the Elmiraj held such promise.

Way to generic if you ask me Cadillac designers need to do better. Nice job though!

Very good job, but I'm also praying that there are some panels or something on there hiding the 4 door ElMiraj.

Almost Rolls Royce-y, I think. Good job!

Great job! It looks very plausible.
I hope it looks more like the Elmiraj, though.

I place a strong bet that there's a C pillar window under that camo (like the current A8 or XTS)...that C pillar is clearly too thick and creates awkward proportions. Also, for a top class car, that "shark fin" (plastic triangle corner in the bottom rear) in the rear passenger window wouldn't exist unless there was a window behind it.

Now that I've looked at these extensively, I think that render/photoshop you posted is much much closer. The upper crease on the side will probably come from the headlights

I'd be shocked if it looked much different than the renderings, minus the wheels and mirrors.
It needs to look different from the Cts at a glance.

And it needs to not be called "LTS." What a horrible name.

Really is, honestly one of the most confusing name strategies to me. Only ones I get are ATS and CTS.. I get XTS confused with the SRX occasionally. LTS I guess would be easier to remember. Too bad they polluted DTS already.

Why can't they give their top-end cars real names , at least? Alphanumeric is so pedestrian. Do you see Rolls Royce and Bentley using alphanumeric? No. Cadillac used to be an equal to Rolls at one point and that's whom they should be striving to emulate.
Fuck the Germans.

Yeah they're really trying to be the Germans, a little too much. Letters are just so sterile and unoffending sadly.

Why did they call it the LTS? It sounds like some sort of disease or a washing machine. Give it a proper name! Generally, I don't get the fascination of automakers with abbreviation-like names, they are confusing : Lexus RC-what, Lincoln MTX-whatever. If you have a proper name you remember it better, e.g. everybody knows that the Fiesta is the small Ford.
