Well if you liked the regular '09 XLR with no camo, and most you didn't, you'll love the XLRv.

Hmmm...the changes must be pretty subtle..I can't really see any difference from the current model.

The only change I see is the side vent.

It makes you wonder if designers get together over cocktails and delcare: "its the era of the front fender sidevents".

Is this the opera window of our times? The vinyl roof?

WOW! A 'bling-bling' side vent! (Much sarcasm implied)

It's doesn't have the new wheels, I guess. And I thought that god awful "Supercharged" badge was history.

Least it's not a cluttered looking as the front fender of the STS. (With the vent, GM badge and marker light)

I normally don't mind side vents, functional or not, but this one is cheap and ugly.

What a waste of ten dollars in raw steel (regarding the side vent).

Or in this case, $2 in plastic.

I stand corrected.

Didn't like the XLR before and I like it less now.

Not a fan of this.

Well, isn't that incentive enough to try and kick things off on a better model as it's replacement? Or let it just silently fade away?

GMNA needs to get their act together or GME will do it for them! :AH-HA_wink:

And I believe I have gotten my answer. :AH-HA_wink:

I consider this a waste of whatever money they spent on it. they'd be better served to make the 443 hp standard on the lower model, and put in a big honkin vette engine in the V. this would help sales more than this minimally invasive cosmetic surgery that stripped one of the theme's that was likeable, the stealth uninterrupted flash forward style of the XLR.

LMFAO!

With what?

A Camry-melted-Nissan wannabe division, a marketing name and a virtually nonexistant Swedish brand?

LOL.
