New Cadillac unveiling fail

A wine and cheese Pebble beach crowd witnesses the unveiling of the new Cadilliac Ceil ,something goes wrong when the car has an unusual amount of exhaust cloud coming from the tail pipe . Theirs only one word ,stunning ! Quotes the announcer,kind of a laugh out loud moment.
Cadillac Ciel Reveal Pebble Beach, California 2012 - YouTube
Another attempt of Cadilliacs wayward venture into the Euro status of Farrari and the Lambo stratosphere ,its so hard to copy.

I saw that Ciel convertible at the Amelia Island Concours.

I touched the driver's seat and Lorraine McKinry from "What's My Car Worth" yelled at me "DONT TOUCH!"

Exclamation Look at all those jejeune white people checking it out.

Looks like the designer watched too many Batman movies.

What a piece.

Yet ANOTHER Caddy, glory bound without a doubt, for the pantheon of Cadillac successes that includes the V8-6-4 Coupe de Villes, the Cimarron, and the fwd bustleback Sevilles with "Diesel" engines.

"Standard of the World" -- yeah right.

Looked more like cold start steam instead of smoke.

If you look at the sea fog in the valley below it's pretty obvious that the car is puffing out humidity and not much else. Not exactly a timeless design IMO.

Come on guys ,its very hard for a beautiful woman to age gracefully,I wouldnt think her to be more than 40 .Women that keep their chassis in shape are beating half the battle and from what I can see shes winning.
