Re: 09 Cadillac XLR-V
should be a good one. From a philosophical level the DOHC S/C N* is the way to go, but from a power and 'beat AMG' standpoint, give me the S/C OVH V8, same one with no power down rating from ZR1!

Re: 09 Cadillac XLR-V
it better be over 500 hp to stay competitive.
but in all seriousness. who would buy this over a ZR1 which is the same price.. interior almost the same.. but the ZR1 is one of the fastest cars in the world |

Re: 09 Cadillac XLR-V spy shot
While driving, every time I see an XLR or V my eyes follow it for as long as it is safe to do so. It appears Cadillac is going to subtlely restyle it,which is good news. A new interior and a move to LS engines would be positive moves in my opinion.

Re: 09 Cadillac XLR-V spy shot
I can't wait to see it unveiled! Along with the small crossovers, Caddy is coming around. Just need a replacement for the STS/DTS and a smaller Caddy and we'll be good to go!

Re: 09 Cadillac XLR-V spy shot
An upgrade to the LSA/LS9 engine makes sense ... if you want world competitive or world beating, you can't sit back and use an engine that will be out of production in two years.

I really don't have high hopes for this refresh. Cadillac historically doesn't have a good track record when it comes to MCEs. They'd rather half ass it and cancel the vehicle because nobody's interested in buying the 'stale bread' they're peddling.  |

Because of the often poor service provided by Chevrolet dealers for Corvette owners. I know, I have owned at least one Corvette for 33 years. It has been my experience that many Chevrolet dealers do NOT provide good service for Corvette owners and do not have the expertise to work on the Corvette. Some Chevrolet service departments treat a Corvette like it is a 10-year old "beater" and don't even have the courtesy to keep it from getting grease and oil stains from their employees. Cadilac dealers provide a higher level of service than many Chevrolet dealers - and they often treat their customers better. Just my long-term experience with Chevrolet service. |
