2009 Cadillac XLR Facelift Revealed

it's hard to see any difference, and this is after 5/6 years of production. I don't think it will rescue it's sales

Wouldn't be my $80 grand!

Corvette still is going to be getting this money...This car needs a redesign and something more than just a crappy face lift, which is barely noticable

I like what the front page to the New Facelift SL550 says, "Revered, studied, collected, admired, praised but still unchallenged". This can't be more true.

this thing is in a desperate need for a redesign

I suspect it was a mild cosmetic update that allows GM to skip the cost of crash re certification. If XLR had got truly new front , rear end and interior, NHTSA guidelines and crashworthiness would have to be re established. This costs of millions of dollars per test! Too bad GM didn't at least slap some wood trim around the interior. BEFORE YOU FOLK SAY HOW TACKY THIS INTERIOR IS BE AWARE - I don't like the color of this wood or the extra piece on the bottom of the steering wheel. http://www.lgtautomotive.com/popup_image.php?pID=1760&image=1 http://www.lgtautomotive.com/popup_image.php?pID=1760&image=2 I think with darker richer wood finish and expensive looking metal/billet pushbuttons instead of grey plastic, a dress up job like this one would easily liven up the XLR interior. It wouldn't cost much more the simple changes of the 2009 interior and would show some effort on Cadillac's part.
