It's a spy photo. They have covered up most of the details on the car so that people won't know everything about it. This is a standard photo that is taken of cars before they're officially released or introduced to the public.

Which doesn't explain the ugliness. You can't cover up the shape. Anymore it seems the Germans are the only ones making good looking cars on a consistent basis. Too bad Audi has zero reliability and MB and BMW are pricey (even for the C and 3).

Slap a Duke bumpersticker on it and it will be beautiful.

You can cover up the shape with the spy photo. Some are doctored, and sometimes they add padding to throw off the true shape of the car (not saying that's the case here, but it has been done before). This limo is essentially the same limo that Pres. Bush had, minus the update to the front with the new model series of DTS. The presidential limo is traditionally a bit boxier than a normal Cadillac because of the specific requirements necessary for the 3rd party company that turns the car into a limo and the one that adds the body armor. Plus, there are other requirements that the government provides that must be implemented on the outside (like the run-flat tires, bulletproof rims, windows, etc.), plus the seal that they use to protect the inside cabin from a chemical attack.

Don't forget the Swedes!

Update.

[CameronBornAndBred]

Front end is too long, it looks like it needs a nose job.

Japan still makes some pretty decent looking cars, too. And they're often reliable.

Spoken like a true "Son of the D." Way to represent blazindw! Did you see the Albom article on DTW in the 1/12 Sport's Illustrated?
