Meet Christine Park.

She just unveiled her latest concept car design for Cadillac today at the 2010 North American International Auto Show.

Her XTS Platinum concept is part of the sexy-looking Platinum series of top-of-the-line models which includes new luxury features and a plug-in hybrid propulsion system.

She explains, “When I design, I think of it in terms of writing a novel and I think of myself as a novelist. you’re telling a story through the car."

More about Christine soon - she is currently showing off her concept car at the huge 2010 North American International Auto Show in Detroit this week. Check back soon for our exclusive interview with her.
