Someone posted this photo, presumably of the production Cadillac ELR. We won’t be the first to break an embargo but the cat’s out of the bag…

Very nice-looking car. I'm impressed they were able to hew so close to the concept...perhaps a lesson learned after how different (and worse) the Volt production car looked compared to the sleeker concept.

I to think that the cars is a stunner however, a 300 mile range as reported by Edmund's is a deal killer for me. I will just take the CTS coupe V series, more range more power same money. 70k from what I understand.

  A 300 mile range before filling it with fuel and soldering on is a deal killer for you? You just described almost all the cars I've ever driven.

  No kidding. CTS-V Coupe has a combined EPA rating of 14 with an 18 gallon tank. Range=252 miles. Does Chocolatedeath realize that you can refill the ELR and keep driving?

  @Crabspirits According to sources its 300 miles combined..that is not impressive at all.

  @sunridge place Yeah having to actually touch those icky fuel pumps sure puts a damper on your drive through the Hamptons.

  @sunridge place Yeah seriously, it's like those Rush Limbaugh-types who thought the Volt could only go 40 miles, period.

My that's a nice ElDorado there. I especially like the twisty wheels. But are they ever going to move along from the Sixteen and Ciel concepts - really?

I don't get it... They put the most practical powertrain in the least practical body? Yup, sure sounds like GM to me.

  Have you driven a Honda CR-Z? The practicality of that car is zero. But at least that makes it unique and interesting.
