Vince Burlapp (aka vburlapp on social media or burlappcar.com) is a prolific virtual artist who loves to dream of all the latest models across the wide-ranging automotive realm – especially from Cadillac.
This pixel master has a veritable passion for the American luxury brand. Truth be told, we understand why. After all, the General Motors subsidiary, unlike Ford's Lincoln or Stellantis' non-existent premium American brand, still has a veritable roster that includes both crossovers and SUVs as well as passenger cars. Plus, they have a lot of novelties backing.
So, after last year, they introduced the refreshed 2024 XT4 crossover from $37,895 or the 2025 CT5 from $47,595, now we're looking at a waterfall of arrivals like the 2025 Optiq from $54k, the 2025 Escalade IQ from an estimated $130k, the 2025 CT5 V-Series (including Blackwing), or the 2026 Vistiq three-row electric crossover SUV. That's quite a lot, right?
Well, there is more to await because our spy photographer partners have already caught the refreshed ICE-powered Cadillac Escalade undergoing testing to join the updated 2025 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, plus the upcoming GMC Yukon and Yukon XL in the full-size classic SUV family of General Motors. However, aside from what the rumor mill knows, the imaginative realm of digital car content creators also has its own set of Caddy wishes.
This pixel master, in particular, dreams of many things for Cadillac – from future compact IQ SUVs coming in under the Optiq to the sixth generation Escalade and ESV or the revival of the Seville and DeVille sedans as CT4 and CT6 replacements, anything goes, including additional coupe and cabriolet shenanigans.
Speaking of two-door Cadillac ideas, this time around, the CGI expert has decided to reinvent the beloved Cadillac Coupe de Ville nameplate for the modern age – albeit with a little bit of retro flavor still attached to it. As such, his wishful thinking design project would probably see the all-new 2026 Cadillac Coupe de Ville join the IQ roster or at least sport some sort of hybrid powertrain.
The reaction, so far, is biased – some think there's zero market for a return of the classic Caddy Coupe de Ville (which Jay Leno, by the way, loves deeply), others believe it's a great Eldorado alumnus, and some also call it a "gorgeous" design. It's too bad we're not getting more CGI points of view to assess its hypothetical styling better and that we have no idea what's under the hood.
If we had to venture a guess, my personal two cents would incline toward a derivative of the C8 Chevy Corvette E-Ray hybrid powertrain – this 2026 Cadillac Coupe de Ville with slightly less electrified oomph (around 600 hp instead of 655 hp) would probably make a spectacular grand tourer. What do you think?
