Caddy couldn't possibly sell something like this successfully. They'd have no way
to compete with companies making beautiful luxury cars like Aston Martin, Ferrari, Maserati, etc. And something this unique would be priced in that area.

Caddy should just make a new XLR. It will probably fail miserably again, but it's worth a try.
And IMO, this car is hideous. The lines are a mess of different styles that don't work together, the proportions are all wrong, and it's just not appealing to look at.


The hyundai equus is a nice car.

Too bad that it never came into production.


It is a throwback to this car...

The XP-825 Concept that became the Eldorado...

How beautiful the Eldorado may be (I own a '69 myself), I wouldn't call the Sixteen a throw back.

Of course I can Google, but do you have an "easy" link with more info by incident? I'm curious.

These are my FAVORITE Eldorados. When I was a senior in High School I drove a 1970 Eldorado. This sounds "pimp" but it was a beautiful purple car with a purple (wine) interior and a white vinyl top. It had a 472 in it and when it went south, was replaced with a 501. Unfortunately the salted roads were it's kryptonite and it was sold because my dad didn't want to fix the little bubbles that started popping up.
