    You may be onto something there.....this will take some acclimation on my part...
    Never particularly been a Cadillac guy, tho I do respect many of their designs (curiously, mostly in retrospect). I like your image (tho it does suffer from a bit of fish-mouth....) to me it looks a bit S7-ish (a good thing imho). If de Nysschen can successfully take Cadillac into a younger buyer profile, he would be a hero.
    edit: not so much fish-mouth; it's the exaggerated low outboard intake thingys that everyone has seized on, like a 'race car' from xx years ago.....Lexus having gone off the planet with it...

    S7 indeed. My point.
    Front end designs still need work.

    That's nice looking. Sporty and elegant. I think it needs a thin chrome bar to define the top of the grille opening, but that's about it. Somehow it made me thing of the '63-65 Riviera (just the right combination of curves and straight lines).

    musical chairs at Pininfarina:
    Carlo Bonzanigo will be the new head of design of Pininfarina starting from next January 9th, reporting directly to CEO Silvio Pietro Angori. Bonzanigo succeeds Fabio Filippini, design vice president since April 2011, leaving the company for personal reasons on March 31st, 2017.
    For Bonzanigo is actually a comeback. Born in Lugano 50 years ago, an Italian and Swiss citizen, he started his career in Pininfarina in 1995 following a Master in transportation design from the Art Center College of Design of Vevey, Switzerland and, previously, a Master degree in mechanical engineer from the University of Zurich.
    In 2004 he moved to Paris to PSA Group, working for the Citroën brand with several responsibilities, including, for several years, the role of Head of Concept Car and Advanced Design.
    From 2008 to 2012 he was “Maître Expert Design” of PSA Peugeot Citroën, representing “Design Expertise” of the Group at congresses and in international committees.
    The list of projects run under his guidance includes the concept cars Citroën DS Hypnos, Citroën DS Revolte, Citroën Tubik and DS Numéro 9; among the production cars, Citroën C3 Picasso, C4 AirCross and C1.
    In 2015 Bonzanigo left PSA Group to join Q-iD in Forlì, Italy, a consultant company specialised in automotive and industrial design, to lead – as Design Director of the Automotive Division and Member of the Board of Q-iD – the Automotive Division Q-Red in Maranello.

    Or maybe he subscribes to the jm2 school of corporate survival:
    'Keep your head down, when the shooting stops, take a quick look around'

    I only have time to post a few photos. I'll post up the concept cars because they're unique. They include:

    Audi Q8 e-Tron
    BMX X2
    Cadillac Escala
    Mazda Miata Speedster
    Mercedes Benz Electric Intelligence
    Nissan Vmotion 2.0
    Subaru Visziv-7
    VW I.D. Buz

    Also, Detroit is a really cool city. The people were super nice and there are cool things happening around the city.

    Enjoy.

    whoa, thanks for posting all the cool photos.
    Have not seen the Corvette art display yet, thanks for those!!!
    Cool thing about all those Corvette sketches is that I know those guys. I remember seeing much of that work on the walls in the studio. How cool is that?...............Now it's 'art'.....who knew??

    I want to love that new Cadillac but the rear sweep of the roof doesnt have the strength I wnt to see in such an upscale car. Looks 'economy'
