Refreshed ELR is the model's swan song

Changes seem to be minimal, but the Cadillac man will probably take no time off at all, this year.

I actually think the ELR is one of the best looking - if not THE best looking - vehicle that Cadillac sells today. Even the interior looks very nice.

It's a shame everything that happens under the sheet metal is so shit. At least shit for a Cadillac - for the Chevy Volt it's just fine.

I agree that it looks good, but I wouldn't say the internals are shit. It should just cost $55k not $75k IMHO.

For a Cadillac trying to drop the FWD floater image of old, it's pretty shit. If they wanted to release an Hybrid coupe - that's great. I don't think there's any issue with that.

But it should have been RWD, or at the very least AWD with electric motors either up front or in back to combine with the engine's output on the other set of axles.

That'd be a proper Cadillac Hybrid Coupe.

With the XTS hanging around for a few more years the ELR isn't hurting any image Cadillac has.

They never understood that if you make a car for future minded people, you need to make it look like it actually came from the future,

I'm sure Johan sees the wrong ways behind the ELR, since he is familiar with the right ways behind the e-tron project.

However, the i model seems more suited for Cadillac, as a few progressively styled models, could signal that Cadillac has arrived in the 21st century. But those models need to be top tech, they can pull apart an i8 and get inspired by that, if they have to, I don't care.

Still a little too oddly proportioned for me but I will agree it is an improvement

I thought the Cadillac looked nice until I scrolled down to your picture of the i8... Not it looks like a bloated turd.
