Cadillac->ke18 made its presence felt at the 2012 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance->ke2839 in a different fashion from the rest of its colleagues, and certainly different from their approach last year when they unveiled the Ciel Concept. Instead of dropping a world debut or even a US debut, the American automaker decided to show off their newest concept car...in a teaser.

Yep. Cadillac didn't show a new concept and it certainly didn't show a new production model. But they did draw up serious interest from a lot of people with what appears to be a new concept car that's scheduled to make its debut at a future North American auto show in the coming year.

No details have been revealed, except for some comments made by Clay Dean, Cadillac's director of advanced design, to Autoweek saying that the new concept will be the inspiration - or at least the peg - for the company's new design language that touches on "American glamor meets American technology.”

If an award for vague teasers was given at Pebble Beach, Cadillac would've won it by a landslide. There's not a lot to go by except for a multitude of speculatory guesses that touch on the long bonnet, wide wheel arches, and a unique tail lamp set-up.
