Cadillac or Corvette
Okay so there is a bunch of discussion on this forum and others as well on what kind of car is this going to be?
Some believe this is a Corvette and some think its definitely a Cadillac. while we all have no 100% proof its either, I can say I am almost if not 100% positive this is a Corvette and Ill explain why.
1.The vehicle has non Cadillac lines on it. this car is very "swoopy" and very aggressive looking not to mention the wheels that these "mules" have been spotted with scream chevrolet and not Corvette..
2.Corvette ZR1 test cars have been spotted cruising with the "mules" around the U.S. so why would they do this? more than likely because Team Corvette is in charge of this developmental vehicle and not Cadillac.
3. And lastly what I believe to be the most definitive proof... The 2 Team members is wearing clothing with a Logo on arm and chest. I've circled the areas. guess what that Emblem is? that's right CORVETTE

Anyone who still insists it's a Cadillac at this point has issues that no forum is going to resolve.

Thank you Jerradl1987 for finally putting this issue to sleep. The person wearing the Corvette emblem on his sleeve is Patrick Herrman , the Corvette Technical Manager for Europe (also described as "Corvette Engineer" in other media ID's). Thank you Mobius for that info, and this video further confirmation:

I think the very real possibility, the forum supporters who think it could be a cadillac are missing is; but is it really a Buick? Why stop at it being a Cadillac when indeed, this baby could be the all new Buick GNX-R!!

You have a better chance of this being a relaunch of Oldsmobile than it being a Caddy.

I think we're all forgetting that GMC has been searching for a true halo car for decades, and a twin-turbo V6 hybrid AWD supercar is exactly what they need to boost their brand image.

If they do make a Caddy at some point, out of this platform, they'll have to do a lot more than change bumpers and badges. It'll need almost a completely different body and interior. An exclusive engine for the Caddy wouldn't hurt either.

It’s the new Oldsmobile! It’s obvious!
