The following was contained in a box within a story concerning the future of Cadillac's various models:
WHAT ABOUT THE XLR?
With it's insignificant volume (just 1249 built this year to Sept. 1), this is an even bigger question mark than the Escalade. The main problem is that the C7 Corvette is on temporary hold while GM waits for clarity over the next-gen CAFE regs. No new Corvette means no new XLR, as they are built off the same hardware. Cadillac needs to upgrade the two-seater's interior and further delineate it from the Corvette, but it must be done cheaply and it must be done well. If the C7 isn't green-lighted soon, the XLR may turn out to be a one-generation model.
