Cadillac Converj Approved for Production - report
November 17, 2009
Ash, ~Wow, you have zero knowledge of what's beautiful and what's not. This is one of the most beautiful cars I have seen in a long time, just because you don't like America doesn't mean you have to show your stupidity in judgment. Thank god you're only some hack with the good ole "I hate anything American" chip on your shoulder.~ Now on to what matters..... I was invited by Cadillac (my brother is a designer with Chevrolet/GM) to come to a pre-show viewing of the Converj here in Los Angeles. I was able to sit in it and get a feel for the ergonomics of both the driver and passengers positions. The interior is a big step up from earlier CTS versions (which is what it closely resembles in size) because of the top quality materials used. It will take some time getting used to the far forward dash but it has a great feel and look. The Buick interior design team helped with the interior, they got the materials right for sure. See the 2010 Buick LaCrosse, beautiful car with an outstanding interior. http://www.worldcarfans.com/109010816000/2010-buick-lacrosse-breaks-cover/lowphotos#12 After some time sitting in the Converj I would figure the seats will be changed up a bit for better driver positioning. Having the seat raised up higher than you can adjust it and making the seat cushion longer by a few inches at least, it cut's at a strange spot on the back of your legs making you feel that you have contact with the seat only at your butt area, although it might be better with a smaller person. (I'm 6'4") I asked the guy presenting the car that if I need the seat bottom raised and I stand 6'4", what about people smaller than I who will really need it raised, he told me that the seats in the car are not what's going into the production model. The seat materials and overall look will stay the same but have different overall design and ergonomics to them. The flow through center console to the rear seat area is a nice touch that gives it a high class/ high performance look and feel. Just think, this is a so-called "Green Car" and I'm talking about how good it looks inside and out, try that with a Prius. The overall look and feel of this car as I walked around it over a hundred times is of a car of the future, the body line cuts are dramatic as is the slope forward from above the back seats to the nose. The wheels are a must carry over to production. I will be one of the first buyers of either a Converj or a CTS-V series coupe when they arrive, as long as they stay to form with the basic look and feel of the prototypes, which I was told they will. So, when the time comes, it will depend on if I am "Environmentally Sane" or just "Insane" (CTS-V Coupe= $70,000+, Converj= $50,000+) at the time of production on which one I will purchase. I'll take either in the light silver I have seen recently on a 2010 ZR1, while having the wheels on the prototypes in a dark bare Magnesium color and look! 4-6 years of payments won't be so bad, and it's environmentally sane or insane. Now, when my neighbor who has a Prius glares at me when I'm in my Corvette or Truck, will no longer glare but will stare with his jaw on the ground when he see's me in my Converj!
