Cadillac might throw technology and gizmos at the situation, but they have no clue on how to package a luxury product. So what if Cadillac projector lamps have the Cadillac logo etched in them if the dashboard has gaps the size of canyons?
XLR is the worst offender of them all. Slap on new foglamps, slap on a side vent and a new exhaust. But the fundamental problems of the interior remain. It doesn't exude luxury. It's a cheap imitation. it's like buying a leather jacket at WalMart. It might be leather... but my God its butt-ugly, with poorly threaded buttons, polyester lining, and a plastic zipper. Or you can go to Saks and get a beautifully tailored leather jacked with a nickel zipper and silk lining.

It just confounds me that Cadillac cannot figure out the interior thing, not counting the CTS. The XLR interior looks like it was designed by engineers, not luxury goods designers that it should have been designed by. Way too simple, lack of attention to detail, and now so dated. At that price point...Well, it has been said before,
Cadillac has wonderful technology and engineering...And they have shown they can build a world-class interior in the CTS. How hard is it to use sophisticated woods or other accents, as mentioned by Mg and used by so many other car makers? How difficult can it be to at least implement a unique gauge cluster and small details where the drivers and passengers touch? Where are the unique leather colors you see on so many other luxury cars? I just don't get it.
