NICE!

anyone who gets gold-plaited emblems on their cadi in this day and age is just fulfilling a bad stereotype about cadi owners. those things do look best with the fake convertible top, though...

seriously, the question about gold emblems is: why is it that people get the gold emblems but leave all the other brightwork silver/chrome? seems that if you want gold trim, you oughtta get gold trim all around, no?

i just don't feel the gold trim thing at all. no offense to those who do; clearly, i'm the one missing something.

Sounds cheap, but im sure one of the guys who sells cars on here will say he can beat it, but cant post the price on the forum, and for you to call/email him, where he'll reply that he cant beat it, but from his dealer you get..blah blah blah blah..

Just a guess atleast..

It sounds like a 2006 to be honest.

I have a bunch of 2007 XLR and XLR-V's in stock..

So Scotty, why arn't they selling?

Superior Cadillac · #54 (**permalink**) 03-31-07, 01:26 PM

there is a lot of people not looking to spend the money right now. That is the just of it.

I would only lease one and keep it stock and run it for a while.
I have a XLR-V I am selling right now for Employee pricing..

Black on black one in stock only.

Heck id take a cadillac over that piece of junk

Go to any Infiniti forum on the internet, and you will find people complaining about some major problem they had, how unfair it was, and how could the manufacturer put out this kind of product, etc, etc, etc. Just like on this forum.

Toyota recalled more cars than it sold in 2006. So even they are not immune.

Cadillac will continue for years just as it is now. It will not change.

Oh, and gas will hit $4 per gallon, and people will still drive 400 hp Escalades.

My point? Stop complaining and just drive your cars. If they break, go get them fixed. Venting here is not going to change anything. But if it makes you feel better, then keep venting.

Jimmy, I believe you're right about the complaining here. KC also owns an allante, and we all know about the problems there, to keep them running we just stop crying and fix 'em.

Not just this forum, every auto forum on the internet. My post may have been overly harsh I think. I just get tired of people ripping on American cars and praising German and Japanese. I have owned GM, Ford, Chrysler, Nissan, Honda, Toyota, Lexus and Volkswagen. They all have problems. Mechanical things break.

Superior Cadillac · #58 (**permalink**) 05-05-07, 07:12 PM

We have sold a lot of them.. I have a lot of speicals on all v series going on all the time.

Let me know if you want one first.

Detail guys tell me that the gold fades. I stupidly bought the gold keys from GM, and they faded within a few months. Some aftermarket groups and dealers do have almost every piece of chrome swapped out. I prefer to spend my money on something that provides me with more fulfillment and satisfaction in life--wine, women, etc.

I do not know diddley about GM and pricing of Vs, but here is my 2 cents:

1. Breweries and Bentley have documented evidence that higher prices will bring more sales.

2. Except for Vs.

3. GM misjudged, in my opinion. I also think Ford missed the boat when pricing the recent TBird ($40k). I also heard that they wanted the bird to be a rare car. (They succeeded with that aspect, since sales fell flat.)

4. I wonder if Ford and GM would have succeeded by pricing their cars at a lower level. I think the TBird would have been a real hit like the original Mustang if they priced the bird at around $30k. I do not know where GM should have priced the V. Maybe somewhere just above the Z06 pricing level??

(I hope I don't get TWO employment offers from GM and Ford. That really would be a tough decision. I don't know which would be worse.) LOL
