That's what my Dad always said. He had this one. He passed away last month. His lifelong friend is going to purchase it from Dad's wife. 😊 I'll miss riding in it and getting lots of attention no matter where we were. Offers to buy were very common. Love you Daddy, CADDY ❤️ ❤❤❤
Being a current Cadillac ATS Turbo All Wheel Drive owner this car is my bucket list vehicle. When I find what I want, I'm going to own one. Incredible car!
Always thought it was a shame they never sold these here in the UK. The Corvette is rare and doesn't have a particularly good image over here, Cadillac still has an air of class despite the fact they barely import anymore. The STS was the last car over here that sold in any decent numbers. An RHD XLR would've provided a nice alternative to the Mercedes-Benz SL and the British people are generally going to ve more willing to support an American manufacturer over a German one. Plus its a great looking car and the Northstar sounds wonderful.
The PASSION RED version of this beautiful car is unbelievable! Your review was stellar! However,The top heavy female’s review of this car did not do this car any justice and SHE needs to acquire knowledge about this beauty before she opens her mouth. Not a good sales rep.
It's too bad it took GM so long to work out the bugs in the Northstar. Would have great if Cadillac had a 32 valve V8 throughout the the 2000s and 2010s .
Window tint doesn't count. You can have non tinted windows with black wheels, black body color, and black interior and still be "Murdered Out" aka triple black.
I have to comment... Hehehe! I've a 04 @Best roadster ever ! I think I want to get one with lots of miles. Then Swap out the north star fora BlackWing ...
Don't mean to be out of the loop but what is this blackwing you are talking about because I just happen to have a Northstar in my 05 xlr.. I have thourely enjoyed the car regardless of reviews or opinions about the car.. I have driven it for 3 years now and I have to say I enjoy driving it every time I climb into it... Now I have never been a man that would even give a Cadillac a second glance because I was never drawn to luxery rides such as lincon and automobiles of that nature .. I'm the 69 - 70 Chevelle SS . 69 til around 78 is the years that most appeal to me and have had a lot of nice rides but Cadillacwould have been my last choice at any time in my life because they weren't all that appealing but when I saw the XLR sitting there I really liked the stance of the car .. and after I got to driving the car over the past 3 years it has not once gotten old or become just driving the car... You know what I'm sayn it's las much fun to drive today as it was the day I got it... Now it's not the fastest thing on the road but don't be fooled it don't take back seat by no means next the average car on the road.. and it may not be a race car but it goes fast enough I don't worry about the difference . Lol. . Being able to come out if the hole quick sometimes can make a difference between getting away smoothe and clean or dragging around and not doing so well . Anyways was courious about the blackwing? Guess I could look into it.
Norstar is the WORSE engine Cadillac ever produced. Never buy a Cadillac with a Norstar engine. I learned the hard way. Ask any mechanic about the Norstar you will be hard to find any of them say anything good about them
I miss this era of Cadillac vehicles. Good times.
true
I remember car and driver said this was a corvette that had gone to finishing school! Love it!
Im looking to upgrade from my Crossfire. But I like my standard.

I have a XLR and drove my friends crossfire tere's no comparison @@jenmiddleton6317
Damn good salesman he didn't oversell it, kept it short and straight to the point
Being a current Cadillac ATS Turbo All Wheel Drive owner this car is my bucket list vehicle. When I find what I want, I'm going to own one. Incredible car!
I always saw this car as Cadillac’s attempt at a luxury Corvette. Great walk around!
Well it is a Corvette, so there’s that.
More like Mercedes SL
Back when Bill was just a Florida salesman...
I want to buy this car.
Thanks for the inspiration and keep on trucking!

I loved the look of this car. It looked like it was for young successful owners. It has personality not a blob that many cars look like
Damn dude has some bucks! U see his freakin house!
I found his Address it's worth $2.5 million .
will be my favorite Cadillac ever
Love this style of car's!! Not to big on the path Cadallac is on at the moment.
My uncle has this exact car!!! He took me for a brief 30-second joyride on the car!
I have the super charge version... Absolutely love it.... Attention gitter for sure
Good walk around review. We certainly enjoy our 2007 version in Passion Red.

How’s the reliability?
One of the best looking cars all time right there! So good they use that body again on 5th gen camaro
Camaro looks nothing like the XLR
XLR is Y body, Camaro was Zeta Platform.
Been watching for a couple years now...going back to older videos....Bill, you sound so much younger! lol Hadn't started the whiskey therapy yet.
Never, NEVER use a frameless window to close a door.
Triple Black is not a paint description, it refers to 1 black in color outside, 2 black upholstery inside and 3 a black vinyl or convertible top.
Nowadays it refers to black wheels. Chrome wheels do black cars no favors.
Dam stealth fighter right there
Awesome car! Inspiring piece right there. Oh man. I love it!
Awesome reviews I love it! I subscribed
Beautiful beautiful
MY DREAM Car
also mine
More power..good ride ...than expected...better than the c8...cost vs depreciation
Design of this car is - the best..
Super hot Caddy!
Bill on decaf❓
Cold medicine
They should have used the LS series motor of the time, it was was superior to the Northstar. Car looks cool though.
I'm in love 😻
I'm looking to buy one for myself shortly, any serious problems I should be aware of? Thanks in advance
Their Northstar motor is crap. Get a corvette C5 , pay less , go faster and get a much more reliable motor.
@Darryl
Give it a rest.
It's Cadillac Corvette sharing even a motor
You people get colds in Florida?
where i can buy it??
@ Humunculo Mexicano, they are available in used markets. They are no longer being manufactured by GM
Would be sweet w new rims new custom headlights and now grill
All good til things break on these. A nice LS would be a great upgrade for this car...
Its got a nice instrument cluster.
Very beauty full car 100%usa

Très belle voiture, vive l’Amérique !!!!

Reminds me of the Mercedes coup with a V-8 my mechanic had one and on Fridays he would smoke it up enfront of the shop,🥃
I have to comment...

AMP TEC1 INTRESTING.
Geronimo's Cadillac
I wished these were better cars. I want one but all the feed back on how expensive it is to own and how spare parts are nonexistent.
😍😍
✌️
These came with a north star really? 🤦🏻♂️
No. Hand built supercharged 4.4 liter v8. Was not the 4.6 North Star vat engine. The 4.4 was much better and more reliable
@@felonius888punk the 4.4 is also a north star it was in the Oldsmobile Aurora
@@felonius888punk The regular ones (like this one I think) came with the regular Northstar. The XLR-V came with the engine you described
Sucks to see the attempt to be similar to the Corvette that they decided to throw in the northstar
They fixed the short head bolt problemi in 2000 and then went to a coarser head pitch in 2004.
I thought you Floridians only delt with heat rash and mosquito bites.
Say it say it u used car salesman the older north star has severe head issues!!!
They were fixed by 2008. Look it up.
Not nos mores 😅
A "Corvette" that a 64 year old can enter easily.
You're not triple black. Your wheels aren't black. Triple black is aka "Murdered Out".
It has an Engine, not a MOTOR
Technically a motor is inside an engine so...
Just buy a corvette, it's faster ,handles better and it's more reliable
GM really cheeped out on the interior
It's Mercedes SL
This car is so ugly in my eyes lol
you don't know much about cars
Why does it look so cheap inside? Embarrassing!
Dick Inhisson back to your Corolla douche
You got to go inside a car and see it in person you have more more room than a Corvette is that the only one to appreciate one
Norstar is the WORSE engine Cadillac ever produced. Never buy a Cadillac with a Norstar engine. I learned the hard way. Ask any mechanic about the Norstar you will be hard to find any of them say anything good about them
