.....and With it, the XLR-V will not be much competition for convertibles from Mercedes-Benz and BMW. ]]>Mar 21st 2008 12:06PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/21/spy-shots-2009-cadillac-xlr-v/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/21/spy-shots-2009-cadillac-xlr-v/Mar 21st 2008 1:11PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/21/spy-shots-2009-cadillac-xlr-v/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/21/spy-shots-2009-cadillac-xlr-v/Mar 21st 2008 1:30PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/21/spy-shots-2009-cadillac-xlr-v/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/21/spy-shots-2009-cadillac-xlr-v/
Why are you always making dumb f***ing comments about the Big 3 you are an a**. I hate when haters get on to a blog aboutany of the big 3 manufacturers and start making idiotic remarks. With 550hp, better interior and a WAY better price tag than most of the competition Cadillac has the goods to compete with anyone in the world! Period! Oby and any naysayers for that matter need to stay off any big 3 news if they do not have any thing to say that is remotley constructive.]]>Mar 21st 2008 2:01PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/21/spy-shots-2009-cadillac-xlr-v/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/21/spy-shots-2009-cadillac-xlr-v/Mar 21st 2008 7:27PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/21/spy-shots-2009-cadillac-xlr-v/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/21/spy-shots-2009-cadillac-xlr-v/Mar 21st 2008 12:07PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/21/spy-shots-2009-cadillac-xlr-v/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/21/spy-shots-2009-cadillac-xlr-v/Mar 21st 2008 12:27PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/21/spy-shots-2009-cadillac-xlr-v/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/21/spy-shots-2009-cadillac-xlr-v/Mar 21st 2008 12:13PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/21/spy-shots-2009-cadillac-xlr-v/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/21/spy-shots-2009-cadillac-xlr-v/Mar 21st 2008 12:44PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/21/spy-shots-2009-cadillac-xlr-v/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/21/spy-shots-2009-cadillac-xlr-v/Mar 21st 2008 1:31PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/21/spy-shots-2009-cadillac-xlr-v/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/21/spy-shots-2009-cadillac-xlr-v/Mar 21st 2008 12:19PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/21/spy-shots-2009-cadillac-xlr-v/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/21/spy-shots-2009-cadillac-xlr-v/Mar 21st 2008 1:06PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/21/spy-shots-2009-cadillac-xlr-v/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/21/spy-shots-2009-cadillac-xlr-v/Don't talk Cadillac reliability unless you have first hand experience. I'm on my sixth Caddy, all bought new and all have given over 150K miles of trouble free driving. Currently driving an 06 STS-V with 22K, and my Daughter drives my 03 SLS with over 230K to and from college on weekends and the car has been flawless with the exception of the heated seats. She spilled her Pepsi on the switches.
For those who say the interior of the Xlr is garbage, you've never been in one. The layout may not be to the liking of some, but is indeed high quality.
And please don't equate the Xlr with the Allante. I have an 88 and recently bought a 93, both of which are great roadsters barring their flaws but nothing compared to the Xlr. Different time, different cars. If I had the room for one, it would be a top choice.
As for a Japanese Coupe? Oh please. Your credibility just banzai'ed itself.]]>Mar 22nd 2008 10:35AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/21/spy-shots-2009-cadillac-xlr-v/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/21/spy-shots-2009-cadillac-xlr-v/Mar 21st 2008 12:19PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/21/spy-shots-2009-cadillac-xlr-v/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/21/spy-shots-2009-cadillac-xlr-v/
But having ridden in it now quite a bit, the interior is actually pretty good. It sure compares favorably to the SC430 interior (another friend has one of those). No, it's not as nice as the SL interior though.

I think it could use some updating, like the NAV, but all in all the interior feels good and works well.]]>Mar 21st 2008 12:22PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/21/spy-shots-2009-cadillac-xlr-v/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/21/spy-shots-2009-cadillac-xlr-v/
i am a car fanatic, but i don't see the need to have more than 400 hp in a street car, we are just asking for people to kill themselves (and potentially others).]]>Mar 21st 2008 12:22PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/21/spy-shots-2009-cadillac-xlr-v/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/21/spy-shots-2009-cadillac-xlr-v/Mar 21st 2008 12:38PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/21/spy-shots-2009-cadillac-xlr-v/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/21/spy-shots-2009-cadillac-xlr-v/
All the LSes are the same height except for the LSA, which gains an inch due to the supercharger.

So I can't really believe the Northstar is less tall than the LSA, at least not significantly.]]>Mar 21st 2008 1:00PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/21/spy-shots-2009-cadillac-xlr-v/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/21/spy-shots-2009-cadillac-xlr-v/Mar 21st 2008 12:50PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/21/spy-shots-2009-cadillac-xlr-v/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/21/spy-shots-2009-cadillac-xlr-v/
Also I remember some video or article discussing the new CTS and how well the interior was received. I remember a GM guy saying "Wait till you see what we've done to the interior of the XLR." So we at least know the XLR is going to be upgraded to the level of the new CTS.]]>Mar 21st 2008 1:07PM
