The cadillac XLR - has the design aged well?

Hope, and those Northstar engines are probably the shittiest pieces of shit from the last 20 years of GM.

*nope

>>17809936
Fuck no.
It's a C5 corvette with a worse engine, for more money.
Worse, they were still trying to sell these after the C6 was on the market.

>>17809940
Those are the revised Northstars, they don't have the same issue the originals and the Aurora engine had

>>17809936
This car looked ugly as fuck when it was new. It's a late 90s design at best and the northstar engines were complete shit.

I feel sorry for anyone that bought these thinking they were an upscale corvette.

>>17809979
They were only more expensive than the C5 when they launched, they're about the same price as a C5 on the used market, unless you're talking about an XLR-V, shame they're all automatic

>late 90s design
Shut up euro trash, it was finally the end of the Malaise era of design, it doesn't look as bad as your butthurt faggot self thinks it does

>>17809936
Thought it was cool as hell the first time I saw one. Then I started realizing that its pretty ugly. ATS looks better

>>17809936
The back looks pretty nice but the front looks way too squashed.

They could've just put a fucking LS in it.

More of a Caddy shill than a GM shill because they killed everything good, but I tolerate Buick
>Cadillac want to be viewed as a serious Luxury market player
>competition uses DOHC V8s
>Cadillac wants the same refined image and uses DOHC V8s in their products
Are they down on power? Yes
Are they heavier engines? Yes
But the issue is that no luxury car sold on the market currently, save for the CTS-V, is powered by a pushrod engine, they went with OHC because of the image

not as well as this

>they went with OHC because of the image

And it resulted in one of the worst cars of the 2000s.

Congrats on shitting the bed GM, now you get to sleep in it.
