It's my job to analyze the automotive industry. Bob Lutz had strong feelings toward the Chrysler Chronos and Chrysler Atlantic as well.

Cadillac needs the Sixteen, or something like it. I hope they make it, but it's a longshot...and that's putting it mildly.

Tomorrow I am going to the Philadelphia Auto Show and Cadillac will probably have the Sixteen there. I will find out for dure if it is going into production and post it then.

Supercar:

I hate to disappoint you, but it WILL NOT be at Philadelphia. The morons who arrange the Philadelphia car show put it up against the Detroit show. The Cadillac Sixteen was shown to the media at the North American International Auto Show just last week, and the actual show is going on right now. That is where the Sixteen is.

Yea I just got back from the show. No Sixteen, but a different badass Cadillac concept. I forget what it is called, and the pics are too damn big to post. How do I compress them to make them fit??? And how do I post more than one pic?? I got a ton of pics from the show I wanna post.

Supercar:

The car at the Philly show as the Imaj. It's a concept car from a couple of years ago.

Oh yea. I thought the Cadillac XLR was more impressive in looks and performance. However, technology is becoming too big a part of Cadillac. The XLR is a $60,000 roadster that the jacked up to... $120,000 with all their computer and sensor crap.

[Hudson]

XLR for $120k? Take about $50k (or more) out of that price.

[Scott 02]

How much you think the Sixteen will sell for if it comes out in production?

[Hudson]

If the Sixteen were to get the go-ahead, it would sell for over $200k, my guess would be in the $250-300k range. That way it could be in the same ballpark as the new Rolls-Royce and Maybach models while undercutting them on price slightly.

[Scott 02]

I agree with those prices, i don't think it would be priced any higher than $500,000 but i think they should go ahead with the production of them that way there is a american made car that can truely compeat with the Bently and Rolls-Royce.

I totally disagree.A luxury car can NEVER have too much technology.In a sports car,then yea ok.But not a luxury car.

[SuPeRcAr_MaN]

The XLR is a sports car.

[WakkaWu]

Wrong,the XLR is a luxury roadster.
