Cadillac Wants $100,000 for XLR-V

The sportiest Cadillac convertible in history will wear the GM division's largest pricetag in history as well. GM said this week that the Cadillac XLR-V roadster will be priced at $100,000 when it arrives in showrooms early next year. The roadster sports a 443-hp, supercharged version of the Cadillac Northstar V-8 and retains the XLR's hardtop convertible mechanism. The XLR-V will be a limited-edition vehicle, GM says, and a few will be exported to markets outside the U.S. to draw attention to Cadillac's new lineup. The XLR-V's pricetag includes destination charges.

Yup... I have to say, for $100,000, I'd be looking at a convertible conversion to a Z06... I think the XLR is neat, but I dont' think it's $70,000 neat. More horsepower doesn't make it $95,000 neat either. I think GM blew it with the pricing on that thing. If it were like $60,000, I bet it would sell a lot better.

Thank you Cadillac but that price I'll take something more exotic - an M6 perhaps?

Sorry, I would take a brand new Dodge Viper SRT-10 for 90,000.

Some people have more money in their cars than they do their house - looney. :-)

You'd be surprised boys. There are a lot of people with a ton of money burning holes in their pockets. The new XLR-V would be a pretty funky car to own. If I had the dough.................
