The Cadillac CT5, Cadillac CT6, and Cadillac Expressive Coupe design study are the focus of the latest Cadillac Society Podcast, with the sixth episode once again delving into the latest Cadillac news and rumors. In this episode, hosts G and Cadillac Society Executive Editor Alex Luft discuss the design influences and implications of the Cadillac CT5, CT6, and Expressive Coupe, shining a spotlight on “The Cadillac CT5 Coupe That Never Was.” The discussion features insight into Caddy’s styling language and design direction, including the similarities shared between these three models.

In the podcast, the hosts dive into the details of the Cadillac Expressive Coupe, emphasizing its role as a design study, rather than a concept car. This distinction is important, as it underlines Cadillac’s internal exploration of aesthetics without committing to anything for public consumption. The Expressive Coupe is praised for its sleek lines, long hood, and distinctive C-pillar kink, design elements that have influenced the Cadillac CT5 and CT5-V Blackwing, while also drawing parallels with past models like the CTS and ATS.

Despite the appeal of the Expressive Coupe’s design, it’s unlikely to come to market. The hosts discuss the current market conditions and Cadillac’s prioritization of electric and autonomous vehicles, suggesting that these factors may prevent the Coupe from becoming a reality. Nevertheless, there are still parallels to be drawn with current models, such as the pre-refresh Cadillac CT5 and second-generation, Chinese-exclusive Cadillac CT6.

The hosts also critique European luxury brands like BMW, Audi, and Mercedes, suggesting that their recent designs lack the distinction that Cadillac has managed to maintain.

Of course, listeners can tune into future Cadillac Society Podcasts for further insights into the Cadillac brands, including the luxury marque’s design direction and more detailed discussions about the brand’s latest news and rumors.
