The new Caddie Vette

[iron cross]

I just talked with Bob Lutz as he drove one of the new Caddies and he said it was a unreleased new platform. Trick top and stuff. for only $75,000 and a Northstar 32 valve engine. One all black, and the other was silver at Stanfords Vette show in Dearborn. The Black one was full of orange peel, not very good for a car costing that much and a Earl Shibe paint job. Maybe his eyes are not that good anymore because if he really saw that flaw i`m sure he would not have brought that one to the show.

Dont Worry, At the close of 2003 production (in about 2 weeks) the BG plant paint shop will get revamped so the 2004 model year Vette and Cadillac XLR will get smoother nicer paint. This is why XLR has been a bit delayed to production, but the paint shop refurb has always been in the plan. Saleable XLRs are now slated to begin production about mid July when all of GM comes back from its summer shutdown. It will be the last week in June and the first two weeks in July when the paint shop will be re tuned.

Question. I rerad in Motor trend this month about the XLR, and it stated that they were currently for sale. If that's true, then they were painted in the old paint shed?????:confused :confused
