Replying to: exalteddragon1 (Jun 24, 2006 11:02 am) I'm not sure it's just ebay as the local dealers here (Boston)are discounting '06 too.   As far as GM keeping volumes low, I don't think that is by choice. When the XLR debuted as an '04, they were building 23/week. Due to lack of demand (imho due in no small part to the wildly high msrp and, as perceived by some, an interior not suited to that high price point) production was basically halved to 12/week.   There is no shortage of MB SL for sale, but I don't think they are depreciating quite as fast as the XLR.   As per my posts in this thread, I too, like the style of the XLR. Not as much as the SL, to be honest. But given the $ advantage and relative exclusivity I'm considering it as my mid-life (well into it, by the way. Wife won't let me have a proper one, though!) crisis-mobile.

GM quality has been improving for the passed decade, and especially in recent years. Buick is in the top 3 or 4 of JD power and Cadillac in the top 10 I believe.   Most GM brands get above the industry average, the quality situation is, like you said, perception. If a GM car has issues "OH WELL, THIS IS WHAT I GET FOR BUYING CRAP" if a toyota has issues "I AM SO STUPID, I MUST HAVE BROKE IT". So, in reality this is not an out of topic discussion.   And you really cannot compare cadillac quality to Jaguar, the only reason they did so good in the last JD power is probably b/c they SOLD SO FEW jaguars that the results did not matter.   I only new cadillac i notice having problems is the CTS, withwheel aligment issues and a limited but strange case of one of the front suspension components flying off, smacking the whole car on the pavement. These are rare issues but people think its with every car.   While not a lexus yet in terms of quality, Cadillac is getting there fast.

0% financing for 60 months + $4000 trunk money + 1 wife who says, "No way, Jose" = continued frustration re: mid-life crisis!   How y'all doing? And, of course, Happy Birthday, USA!
