I Just Noticed Something About The Cadillac XLR!!

[Cap'n Carageous]

Sat it one at the dealer today. It wasn't comfortable to me at all. The seat felt like it was cocked sideways. The trim was pretty, although I could'nt swear that it was real wood. I noticed the sticker was on the windshield so I got out to see what THEY thought it was worth. $76,000!!!!! Are they *&%^ing KIDDING me???!!! Who in the HELL would buy one of those for the same price you could get a super SLK or a slightly used SL??? That sum***** BETTER be great on the road, cause it's resale will kill you after a couple of years!!

GM will never learn their lesson in the roadster market with anything other than the Corvette. Remember the Allanté? They took a bath on that one and are still recovering from that fiasco. Did you notice the similar lines/profile/styling of the Cadillac XLR? GM is trying to copy and get a piece of the 2-seater market that MB and the Japanese have held for so long.

As far as I'm concerned, I am happy with my SL and whatever problems he may have.

The Caddy Roadster looks like an unrefined R129 to me. IMO, they're Zero in the creative department.....100 points for Bling.

I don't mind the looks...someone here has a black one w/chromed 18"s and it looks pretty nice.

But it seems a bit late on the part of Cadillac to introduce a roadster at "exotic car" prices considering the well-entrenched competition...

It does the same thing as Lexus SC, just a wannabe.
