Rampant Speculation On 2009 Cadillac XLR, XLR-V
The forum fan-boys always on the Inside of News on GM are speculating on the next Cadillac XLR and XLR-V today. Although GM PR folks have been a bit cagey on a replacement for the XLR luxury sports convertible, it isn't stopping the General's fan-boys from rampant speculation gleaned from forums far and wide -- mostly because of Rick Popely's little XLR name-drop in the Chicago Tribune on Sunday. Rick says:
"Cadillac will roll out the 2009 XLR roadster in July with fresh styling in and out.
XLR is based on the Chevrolet Corvette, but Cadillac won't get a version of the 2009 ZR1 due in late summer with a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 that cranks out 620 horsepower. Chevrolet hints at a price of around $100,000 and says it will build only about 2,000 per year."
So will it get the same LS9 in the new Corvette ZR1? Will it get the LSA from the Cadillac CTS-V? Will it get magic pixie dust? Best question -- will it actually happen? Let's all speculate together, shall we? What say you? [via GM Inside News]
