Wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I'm Ray and I'm the Editor-in-Chief of Jalopnik. I'll be prowling around these parts looking for new and cool stories for our site. I also wanted to let folks know we've got some spy photos of the 2009 Cadillac XLR. Go take a gander:

Great! Not that they haven't been shown sans camo from every angle for a while, but nothing beats a first hand look. As others have shown, the engineers driving mules right now are fine with people taking pictures, just not of the inside:

Then again...wtf were they doing at a Volvo dealer, or were you somewhere else? Must be the long story...;)

Aye aye...that makes a lot more sense then. Engineers running test mules around have been known to make pit stops at dealers for various reasons.

Can't wait to see the pics.

by the way cruser , those 2 cars and the guys inside were the ones i talked to , my little brother was around there when those pics were taken he told me about it when i called him standing next to the cars

as for the middle finger coming from the GM guys ....I dont buy it ....Those 4 dudes were the nicest people ive ever talked to connected to GM , the grey haired guy driving in the one pic talked ot me for like 15 minutes telling me about his job , how he got it , where he went to college ....VERY VERY nice people !!!!

This is so crazy those guys are gonne be all over the web before they leave florida ...they started testing down here recently ...it began wth the 5300v8 impalas with that 8-6-4 system , they said they find alot of hiccups in the high humidity , high heat we get down here ...
