      It's good that they have an ambition to compete with Rolls or Bentley, but c'mon, putting LEDs and brushed aluminum pieces on a car that at it's best can compete with Audi doesn't bring you to that level. And if someone even pays 300k for that, 2 years later it will be worth 100k at most. Why don't they stick with distinctive design ideas from 50s - 70s and make it modern to look like a proper Cadillac. Their designs from 2000s onwards are jumping all over the place and none of the cars look like true Cadillacs from the era they were most glorious and recognized throughout the world.

    It's beautiful and elegant, although out of most buyers' price point xD

    Brutally expensive but I see what Cadillac is doing here, to create a super lux EV that exudes exclusivity and bespoke unique opulence that warrants such a kingly sum. It is quite possible that outside the engineering and tech, no two Celestiq will be the same because of the ability of owners to personalize their cars.

You have so much space in these large sedans that you can put large battery packs and a tank of gas, so a plug-in hybrid with AWD would be amazing. If they could give us a sedan with 100 miles EV range and 400 miles on gas, this would be a game changer!

    I LOVEEE how they finished the rear hatches interior surroundings. Most vehicles companies don't think people see that area, or that it just doesn't matter. It sure does to me, it is the little details like that that shows it is a quality vehicle. I remember in the early 2000s most vehicle trunk lids were just bare painted (no clear coat) metal. When vehicles had carpet lined lids that was an indicator you bought a quality vehicle. I think I first noticed them on VW's. Now I think most or all vehicles have that. Now it has switched to steering wheel stalks, making them look and feel high quality with piano black or aluminum accents. Hyundai and Genesis vehicles have some of my favorites. I think it's important that anything you often touch has a quality look and feel to it. One thing I hate is on GM trucks that have steering wheel stalk transmission shifters. They are so cheap and plasticy, and where the plastic is molded together it's not perfectly sanded smooth. That is just not acceptable in my opinion.

    As much as I'm not generally a fan of luxury for the sake of it, I think it's great to have a few cars out there for the car designers to really swing for the fences on with a car that's actually getting produced and not just a concept. In that respect they really hit it out of the park with the retro-future design here.

    I have owned 3 Cadillacs almost in a row, the one thing I have noticed is the fit and finish keeps improving. Also all the "gimmicks" have all but disappeared. They just seem (my opinion of course) to have everything right where it belongs. I started driving in 1968 so have driven quite a few cars nice to see an American car trying to make a comeback. There is a fully restored V-16 roaming around here fire engine red what a car!

    This looks ten times better than the EQS and all Mercedes EQ vehicles. Cadillac proves that an EV doesn't have to look like a disproportionate blob. Furthermore, the EQS doesn't even look like it's worth six figures and yet the Celestiq blows that car out of the water in terms of the design.
