They (Cadillac) should really consider increasing the HP on these cars before they move to the new model. 443 HP was pretty cool when they came out and they modify really well. You can blink an eye and very easily have the 09 XLRV at 500HP! The other updates are good though, and I am sure they dont want to drastically increase the cost of the vehicle.
Just a few thoughts...
Thanks,

Hmmm, looks like it might be similar to the Jag coupe in regards to those side vents..
Should be a nice visual upgrade for the XLR application.

Sorry but those side vents look like they just are slapping them on there. I don't care for them on the Jag either. The cars would look much cleaner without them. They remind me of those stupid, fake "vents" that a Mustang has right behind the door. Do what you want to the nose and tail end but why break up a nice smooth flowing design with a big vent?
The vents actually look pretty nice unmasked. The powertrain is unchanged for '09- still 443hp.
As far as the other cosmetic changes, there's no more "Supercharged" emblem on the door (just a V), the new rear and front fascias look really nice, and the interior gets a few subtle enhancements- Corvette style font on the gauges to replace the BVLGARI, new window switches, mirror controls and an Alcantara headliner and sunvisors.
