    OHHHHHHH MY GAWD! The Elmiraj was perhaps the most gorgeous Cadillac concept car I've ever seen, until now. While I still think that the Elmiraj's exterior was a bit more handsome, the Sollei concept has beautiful lines and proportions. The Sollei's interior really blows me away, with it's stunning wood trim and elegant shapes overall. The exterior and interior colors on this Sollei concept are PERFECT for a convertible!

    I was able to see the pink hue in the glass covering of the fridge inbetween the rear seat passengers. Alex, were you able to see any pink hue inside of the yellow leather in person because the camera wasn’t picking any of it up? I think this is absolutely gorgeous and what Rolls Royce should be doing with the Spectre and new gasoline powered Wraith. This looks more elegant than what Mercedes is doing with the S680 Convertible interior.
    I’d have to say Alex, this only looks “production ready” for a Cadillac. It certainly looks like a concept vehicle for any other automaker. It looks like something out of 2035! Absolutely gorgeous, looks like Cadillac will have another fine piece of jewelry traveling down roads.

    It is thrilling to see a return to many more colors available on luxury cars. Yellow might not be my favorite interior color, but I applaud Cadillac for using it instead of the usual tan, gray or black. Because the origin of the name Cadillac is French and there have been references to French in several series names in the past (e.g. Calais, De Ville), I wonder why they have failed to continue that with these new names. The Celestiq should be pronounced in a French manner (i.e. Celesteek), and the Sollei should be spelled as Soleil (French for Sun).

    Ten times better looking than the Celestiq. A truly modern interpretation of Cadillac’s golden years. I’m loving the color, inside and out. The color-matched stalks are gorgeous. Cadillac is crazy not to offer this as another high-priced custom build the same as Celestiq. Ideally, they’d go one step further and use the Lyric as a starting point for a much smaller convertible compared to this one. Make a hardtop convertible priced at $80k and they would have a huge hit.

Hope they will also produce something more attainable for reasonably successful Americans not shopping in the Rolls / Bentley space. Thanks, Alex!

    Beautiful concept! Cadillac absolutely can (and should) make $300K cars - play the Mercedes game. There's enough history and heritage to pull it off, and if it looks like this - heck yeah! The rear end styling is the only area that doesn't quite 'wow' me - it's not bad - but it plays dangerously in the 'old person' territory that Cadillac so crucially tries to avoid (the color, while beautiful, may also be adding to this).
