Aaaa I hate that stupid lower grill. It only looks good on the CTS, but ruined the STS and apparently this car that was already beautiful.

They could have at least used some form of the ZR1’s engine in this.

1 Man Wrecking Crew, you are right, they need LEDs, most luxury makers are switching to that for lighting tech.

They could use the DRL LED from the Audi R8 at $5800. Remember that ****? WTF? For $5800, you could rent noname’s mom and sister for the weekend. Best part? His mom’s teeth come out! YAY DENTURES!

I wish they’d get rid of those ugly amber DRL’s on this & the Vette. If GM really wanted people to think they were serious, they should have gone with LED’s in the front being that is the trend now & this was a facelift.

Nice car but…..how much do youwant for it? I guess that would explain why I’ve only seen 4 of them on the road since it’s intro.

****wad, “useless tool” was mine. Idiot. Too stupid to remember? It’s right there to see. Get help in reading comprehension, illiterate monkey.

You do not have anything and I did not use your line.

Stop using my lines, write-off … you’re too stupid to come with anything of value.

Keep pissing on this site … I need more ammo to use against **** like you.

You are a useless tool Impulsive, so stop acting like an idiot. Car companies will always build cars and people will buy them, welcome to capitalism.

‘Z06ified’, you’ve nailed it.

‘NoNameDufus’, more stupidity … keep it up, useless tool.

There will always be people to buy something like this, thus they make the vehicle.

What reason is there to buy this?

The interior is improved, but not enough to be competitive. You know you have a problem when your entry level model, the CTS, has a much nicer interior than your $80k-$100k flagship. The interior needed an overhaul, not a refresh like it got.

Oh well, the car still looks great from the outside (except for those tacky chrome side vents)

Rafa, what about the CTS, the new Malibu, the Milan, and so forth, domestics are really doing a great job now.

No offense but Americans interiors suck. Bad leather, worst wood, “Spacious” but unsafe.

DialM4Speed, they might not move the exhaust, the production CTS coupe is getting center exhaust.

IMO this car looks better in pictures than in real life.

Looks like the last one to me. I have seen a few of these on the road in a rather affluent town that I know of. I like how the exhaust is in the middle of the bumper but I’m sure they’ll move it to the corners when it hits showrooms. They did the same thing with the Aura. And they need to shave those fender archs big time! They look hugh and throw off the look of the car.

The interior is what needs a serious update. GM COULD do so much better, if only they chose to do so.

By: NoNameDenton1

Was hoping Caddy might try and save their Northstar V8’s by showing direct injection with this update.

Well, it does have a distinctive look, should stand out on the street.

I hope that’s not the interior. It looks so cheap and boring.

hmmm – looks like the old 1

These cars actually have great road presence in my opinion. Although, I can’t say I’m too crazy about the “facelift”. The difference in design from the top grill to the bottom looks like crap, as do the fog lamps, and don’t let me forget the side vents. I know we all dig side vents here on LLN.

GM sells between 100 and 200 XLRs a month. So about 2000-2500 per model year. Which isn’t too far off of the SL’s American sales.

And this facelifted version looks much nicer, much richer, much classier than the outgoing model with its plastic-looking grille.

I wonder how many of them are actually sold. I saw fewer of them on the road in a year then scandals about politicians going being prosecuted or charged and convicted.

I actually saw an XLR on the road yesterday. Really. No kidding. Somebody did buy one. In Canada. An old guy. It was raining.
