More XLR pics
This might have already been posted, but I figured they might be worth another look. There is even a video.

Re: More XLR pics (Bobby J)
The more I see the XLR's detail bits the more I dislike it.
Horrible blondwood/aluminum pastiche on the inside -- looks awful when the Germans do it, awful when the Japanese do it, and now awful when the Yankees do it.
The boomerang CHMSL looks as bad here as it does on CTS.
And was there a miscommunication on the taillights? They just folded the excess over the top hoping nobody would notice? It reminds me of a combover.
It's too bad, because I like the overall shape and style of the car.

I like it . But will agree on the aluminium inside.

I think this new Caddy is awsome. Wow, and you might actually get good service too! (Or at least be treated like you just spent $50k).
I think, if it comes with the Caddy's night vision, I may just have to order one! ( I saw it has the hole in the dash cover for the HUD!)
Yippie!

Re: More XLR pics (Bobby J)
wow..... It looks like the XLR evokes (heh) very passionate feelings, either you love it or hate it. I personally love that car, adaptive cruise, Night vision.... should do rather well. Pitty we have to wait another year or so before it'll show up in show rooms :(

If you thought you saw some type of C6 or Vette propotype you had to have stayed out too long and drank toooooo much the night before. :U That thing is UUUUUUUUUUUUgly. Let me further define that, it's FUGLY... If that was the new planed Vette design I'd trade camps and get a Stang. Please, that is as ugly as home made soap :U

Re: More XLR pics (Bill Curlee)
The styling lines of that car are waaaaaaay too hard! Looks "amature-ish"!
If I were in the Marketing Group at GM and the Styling Studio presented that as the theme for the new C6, I'd be pitchin' a bitch a mile high!
Damn that's an ugly car!
