Agreed....maybe the next concept will be named omg......lol.

 

[Rob]

Call me crazy, but I like it!

I would prefer Cadillac concentrate its efforts on providing me with new trim pieces before they tackle a nuclear-powered vehicle built to last 100 years.

OK!! You asked for it----YOU'RE CRAZY. They should have named it the POS.

Just my opinion

 

[Little Woman]

IMO UGLY. WTF would be standing for something else in my book and I think you all know what I mean. What The ****! Don't like it.

 

[XLR-V Lover]

I think it looks pretty cool!! Better looking than the CTS.

Problem is, it probably would sell for around the price of 10 "Vs."

 

[HOMEGAMEROOM]

I kind of like it, but I can't imagine the Safety forces (police, firemen) would. It's bad enough for them to worry about the high voltage from when a Hybrid crashes - imagine having to worry about radioactivity!!
And NOW you know why GM has trouble in the Marketing Department - WTF?!?! That's hilarious!

 

[standby-V]

As cool or not cool as this looks, stop and think what this concept car, that will never see the road, has cost GM to make and you wonder why there in trouble?
Please someone give me a break. Im fed up with their begging and then wasting money like this. I hope someone knows what this concept cost to produce and shares the figure. GM could probably lend money to the government.

Actually, WTF is the PERFECT moniker for it (not the World Thorium Fuel thing, either)... it's the first phrase that came to my mind!!!! It's especially horrid from the rear!!!

Here's the link to the "Saturday Night Live" skit on the Big Three chairmen in front of congress asking for $$. Included is the comment on the XLR giving GM's CEO a shock and catching fire.

I like the logo anyway...

Think I can have the new Cadillac WTF Concept Car logo on my wind restrictor?

I already get asked WTF a lot, anyway.

OK people - it's gonna be 20 below here tonite and that's not even with the windchill ... so think of San Antonio when we will all have our tops off (uh, down). ...Marion - which is it?

Off-Down what's the difference as long as it's WARM!!!! This morning it was -22/ -45 with the wind chill--but we are going to warm up this afternoon; a high of +6 degrees. Come on May!!!!!

I like the WTF logo as well - and, yes, it would look rather cool on the XLR windscreen...
BTW, does anybody know what XLR stands for - I'm thinking Xtra Luxurious Roadster??

I think you know what my answer that question is. Lets see I believe it would go off. Don't worry Madam I'll tell you the story in San Antonio.

Weve been over this terrirtory on the old forum and the only thing I remember is the X stands for the body style. I bet Bruce (tech) can help out with the real answer

It must have been before my joining the old forum... either that or I don't remember (which could VERY well be!!!)

 

[jamsto]

My understanding is that X was the body style and LR was luxury roadster.

 

[Lola's Mom]

Our group at the factory was told that it didn't stand for anything.
