2004 Cadillac XLR; Promises, promises: This time, Cadillac has lived up to them

Sure they may have the performance worked out, but they need to put some engineers to redesign the way the car looks. It's hidious.

I agree that styling has to go with performance. I just bought a 2000 XK8 convertible.

I was looking at the Miata and MR2 until my wife said they were too small and allowed me to pay extra for the ultimate of toys.

I don't like the whole "arts and crafts" look. Unless it's impervious to police radar, there is no reason for it to look like a stealth fighter 😉

F'ing ugly.
Give me a vette, or better yet a Trans Am ws6.

Where do I get a wife like that? "Oh, that TV is too small. Just get the biggest one in the store." 😀

Seriously, though, the XK8 is SEXY! Love the styling of that car. I'm jealous. 🙂

You'd rather have a Trans Am over the XLR? That's based on what, looks?

The Trans Am is an ugly POS with nary a hint of style or class. I put the TA's design in a class with other overdesigned vehicles like the 3000GT, Eclipse, and Celica.

I'd love to have a TA because of its brute performance for the price, but to call the XLR ugly and then mention the TA in the same breath is ridiculous.
