Cadillac XLR

How many of you actually see these on the road on a day to day basis? They seem to be very rare here in Orlando, I've seen two total, one at the mall, and one on my way to Atlanta.


How common are these things? Is Cadillac keeping the production down so they remain "fresh" in consumer's minds?

Back home, I see them quite often. But some of them are company vehicles driven by GM execs.

A guy who comes into my friends store has one. Pretty cool car... but for the 90k he paid for it, I'd get something else.

One black on the road, one Blue at the dealer.....sold for $10k over MSRP.

Very hot car, Xenon blue is fucking sick (looks like Electron blue from the Vette).

Hard to see in this photo, but its awesome.

$76k and change, it is a little pricey......the XLR V should be interesting when that comes out.

Depends on the comparison, I have seen it beat the SC430, XK8, and the Maserati (from what I recall). One comparison put the XLR in front of the SL500 coming in 1st place. The Porsche is in a different category, that's a sports car.

In every comparison I read, the XLR did very well

I saw quite a few over the summer. But I live in an area where it's not uncommon to see M5's, 911's, Vipers, S-class, A8's, and the like. So nothing unusual.

I drove one. The car is fast. Everything in the car is auto from the door handles to the trunk to the engine start. No keys.
