    Looks like a Crossfie designed with a ruler to me.

    EDIT: It is a Crossfire designed with a ruler.

    They're not the prettiest cars but they can really knock you back despite the FWD. I think they look better with the top up though.

    Nothing more than a very overpriced Cadillac.

    Why pay $100K when you can just go and buy a Corvette? It's the same d*mn base as the XLR and is so much cheaper.

    If I pay $100,000 for a Cadillac, it better have more than 443 Hp.

    Hell, even the regular XLR ($78,000 and 320Hp) is not worth the cash.

    I'd rather spend that kind of money on a new Viper Coupe for 500 horses.

    Very impressive car. GM should be advertising and cashing in on this engineering Tour de Force. It has a very advanced suspension: electro-pnuematic-nitrocharged-something but it really works is what I've read.

    If GM want to sell more cars then they should offer this type of cutting edge technology in their lower priced cars.

    You havent seen one IRL have you?
    It looks nothing like a Crossfire, more like a Corvette with edgy, Cadillac styling.

    As mentioned the XLR is not FWD, and since you probably dont know this, the CTS, and STS are not FWD either.

    I sat in this car at Detroit and it is very nice inside with good quality materials and such (especially the suede seats which were very comfortable). I think that it is a bit overpriced but people that want near Corvette power but Cadillac image and luxury will surely like this. I've seen a few on the road in my home town.

    Its the otherway around, the Crossfire looks like the XLR, the XLR has been around a lot longer than last years crossfire concept

    Why buy a Ferrari when a echo will do? Really why pay for a Viper Coupe only to get raped by a cheaper Z06

    Didn't know that...big pimpin baby. Seriously though, I really enjoy the XLR's styling (espically the V), moreso than the new C6. Just personal preference though. But if it came right down to it, I'd probably be sitting in a Z06 instead of this.

    I seriously dont think you'd look twice at a Viper if you were interested in a Cadillac
