Cadillac XLR

[HALO]

I know that this is a great car complete with a convertable hard top. But is is it worth the hefty price tag?It is not the fastest but can run with the best of them with it's 320 hp engine. But the body isn't the prettiest to look at. What do you guys think

Personally I think it's a great looking car and is probably the only true Mercedes SL competitor.

Errrr...I will pass. It may be the only true Mercedes SL competitor from America. But it's nowhere as desirable as the Merc.

The XLR looks too squarish. Kinda like an origami design. The backside is just too bulky and I don't like the way, how the boot lid opens to hide the metal roof.

The Interior looks it was designed by an 8 year old child. Again, it ,looks monumentally squarish and nothing matches, there are huge gaps everywhere and the grey plastic, looks cheap and out of place. The wood is ugly and it looks very fake.

320 Bhp from a 4.6 V8 32V. Is not bad but it's from being impressive.

MB can get 340 Bhp from a similar 4.6. Audi can get 340 Bhp or even 420 Bhp from a N/A 4.2 V8. BMW got 330 from a 4.4 V8 32V and Lexus recently announced a new 4.6 V8 32V, that produces 360 Bhp.

Sorry. But I still would take the Mercedes SL or even the Jaguar XK8 over this Cadillac at any day.

I love this car to bits. The best example of the 'Art & Science' design theme yet. And it rapes the comparatvie SL500 to bits as well, in terms of specs.

Too many right angles make me dizzy.

I hear you, this is the SL's only true competitor IMO. The wood is very real and as far as the plastic peices go. The look like every other luxury car.

I appreciate your oppinion, but since I have a family member looking for an Infiniti M, I have been looking and reading reviews of every luxury car I can find. I have heard bad things about mercedes SL, Jags, Infinit's Bmw's and even porsche. Check out what these guys had to say about the interior of this $61,000 porsche.

I agree its the only SL competitor although SC430 is in this class also. It's a good car but the style is not for my taste. Id rather SL500.

SC430 I think has only 240 hp not enough for me. I was even surprised that the LS has like 268.
