Noticed the Continental Mark II in the driveway too. Sweet taste is nice rides.

I made the door panels/instrument panel for that car at Collins&Aikman in Athens,TN.

Thank you so much for bringing us this video!! The XLR-V is one of my dream cars, I’d love to own one someday. Unfortunately there aren’t many videos about these cars on KZfaq so once I saw yours I knew it was going to be a good one! It made my day

Lou! On this Palm Sunday....Oh boy, this one was a VERY tasty treat as the Caddy XLR (both "base" and this V) is one of my true favorites, big bro. Bravo for featuring this one, big brother. Speaking of tasty treats (lol! 🤪) I just had a bowl of Cellantani pasta with a tomato, garbanzo beans, broccoli rabe and cauliflower red sauce I made. With Ricotta cheese (whole milk, of course) and grated Romano on top. I am half Italian, after all. Hey, big bro!! After a day and a half of crime fighting (NYC has gotten pretty bad, man), I was starved! So upon getting home to my apartment in Brooklyn my Robin slippers got kicked off (JV Johnny's in his flesh colored stocking feet typing this) real quick-like, cape and mask thrown to a chair when I walked in and started on din din. Hey! After a thumbs up and a good pat on my green briefed butt from my girlfriend for this yummy pasta, I may even get lucky tonight, man lol 😏. But this XLR....such a gorgeous and unique car, Lou. My God, truly lust worthy and exotic. Bravo for Cadillac (and GM) for building it off the Corvette platform, stuffed with wood and leather inside, and a truly stealth jet fighter, masculine origami look to the sheet metal. The Northstar V8 loves to rev and sounds great-esp with quad exhausts! I actually know of a really sexy older chick who owns and operates a funeral parlor on 4th Ave in the Sunset Park neighborhood here in Brooklyn, and she has an XLR. And a sexy Maserati Grandsport, too. How badass and cool is that? Being an all-American blue collar JV baseball guy, I do actually prefer the Caddy. Such a pleasure to see you and Jack here enjoying this unique Cadillac, man. God bless you big bro Lou! Thanks for the inspiration and when you are in NYC hit me up and I'll make you some pasta. JV Johnny ⚾⚾

NICE RIDE !!!!!!

A caddy but also a vette best of both worlds

Mostly Lou Castabile I like older Corvette 1973 barn find on favors in Country Classic cars! They got very rare cars on sale there I had the money I buy one of them! 💯

Very nice 😀

My brother who recently passed had/has one. Told his friend if he ever wanted to sell it to give him first dibs on it. My brothers friend told him if you want it, you have 24 hours to get 12k Canadian. 😂 It was a deal he couldn't refuse for a 4 year old car at the time. His friend was one of those guys, who if his wife told him to go buy some milk at the store. He'd come back with the milk and a new car just for the hell of it 😅 He had talking back money I guess you could say. They're both gone now, but hopefully they are revving those engines wherever they may be now.

That story about getting stuck in a Corvette happened at least a couple of times for sure. One being fatal unfortunately. And that’s a sweet Mark ll there also.

You didn't pick up on the Bvlgari instruments but heard the birds chirping? 😂

Agreed, I never saw one on the road.

I certainly like it better than the 'Vettes.

My father had one when I was a kid, brings me back!

Great video! Just an FYI ... All of the XLR-V's are based on the C6 Corvette chassis which was introduced in 2006. I have the same car, 2006 V, black on black and Love it! ^v^

I'm going to buy one

Sweet looking ride... but I think I'll stick w my C6

Outstanding XLR-V. A true collectible and one of the most interesting Caddys of all time. Love the Corvette DNA. Great job, great choice Lou. Thanks.

and, wow.

Thanks guys, enjoyed the fun also.

Wow, a supercharged Northstar. Think it came with a six pack of head gaskets?

Just a great car. Jack is smiling for good reason. Thanks Lou!

A great example of why you shouldn't buy a black car. Tires look grey. I know, I know, tire slick. Like I'll get a case to apply every week, hahaha. Sweet Caddy tho. Never knew where they were assembled. Thanks Guys!

Amazing car. I own an STS-V, so I’m very familiar with this engine and the experience it delivers!

$100,000 Sheesh!

Thanks Jack for sharing that sweet Caddy. The car has great lines. Nice color.

Can you do the 2004 ctsv

Big Lou just dropping in say what's up to you as always good content like this Cadillac as well👍👌👌👌👌

I didn’t know that they hadfiberglass bodies either. Very nice XLR. The timing (the Great Recession) and the rise of SUVs likely killed the XLR off and that’s a shame. Very interesting car in a lot of ways. The style is distinct, performance strong and it certainly is not common. Thanks Lou!

Northstar? A supercharged Northstar? I always thought that these had the Corvette engine because it was built in Bowling Green! Well cross this one off the wish list! But, it still is a nice looking car, however, Northstar!

That top😍 GM's answer to the Skyliner. Amazing car and story. Thank you!

Im glad he has time to enjoy it arent you? .thanks Lou!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Lou. Jack is a real character, and I learned alot. I'm looking to get an XLR V at some point, so I've been watching various videos, and I've got to say, yours is one of the best; informative and entertaining at the same time. Thanks for the great content. :)

Hi Lou, another fun episode, you live the life of Riley. That Jack seems like a lot of fun to hang with, thanks for sharing. 😉👍

This is a very special car… Unfortunately I have to go to work in the middle of this video… But fortunately I will binge watch Lou later and finish this video.

One of my favorite Cadillacs ever made 😈

A modern day classic, one of my favorite cars in the last 20 years. Always thought they had the LS engine, learned something!

Wow! I never inquired into these before. Now that I know about them, I'm pretty impressed. The look of that engine really sold it for me! That is quite a sight. The price was more than I expected though. That was one pricey Caddy! The convertible looks like fun, but I actually prefer the sleek hardtop model. I love the lines on those.

Another one of my favorite cars, another great car owner what a character. Keep them coming Lou 👍

Thanks Lou, for doing a video on the Cadillac XLR! I always thought it was a beautiful car. It's unfortunate that only about 15,400 were built throughout the entire model run. I guess people at the time balked at the high price ...for a Cadillac. I saw a black one at the Caddy dealership in my city, but as with most expensive vehicles, the windows (and roof, in this case) were up, and the doors were locked. If I was able to afford one, it would not be black. Those seventeen minutes sure went quickly! Happy New Year! and all the Best in 2021!

What an awesome car. These are so much fun to drive, although I have never owned one. Very similar to the Corvette as has been mentioned. What a fun car! Thanks Lou!!

I'm jealous. I love Corvettes and this one fills the gap. I have a Tuxedo cat and he ain't nowhere near as fast.

wow, unbelievable

Another great video! For some reason the XLR is panned by car journalists. Probably because it was a car marketed to a customer base that wanted the Corvette performance, slightly diluted possibly, but without the boy racer image. I think they look pretty classy, especially the wood trim I've seen. I like it. Any chance on finding one of those Cadillac Blackwings? I've only seen one and I think it was only for one year. The Blackwing name will be used on upcoming 4 and 5 series models in '21 or '22.

Top of the line caddys are pure comfort

😂"give em more than they ask for" what a great sport and hes has an awsome ride too good shoot Sir 💪

This is one awesome Cadillac Lou. 👌. I'd be bald if I owned one of these Cars. 🤣

Very cool Vette. There's a young doctor here in Sioux City,Iowa that has a hard top/coupe. His is metalic red with aftermarket exhaust. Sounds amazing but so strange looking at the Cadillac emblem and hearing that exhaust note and whine from the super charger. He is always willing to stop and talk to the young car guys and show his rides. This one is pretty cool too. Elegant yet fast. :) Wolf in sheeps clothing. Vette in a tux for sure. Thanks for sharing.

Aren't those drilled rotors? I believe you mentioned that they are slotted.

Why do people insist on reving a cold motor., 2 minutes gets oil thru motor .

Why didn't they and don't they just name the cars after the power of the car. In this case - "Whoa Mawma!" 0r on a small slower-paced car, "Granny's Smile". Makes sense to me. LoL. At any rate, this is definitely not grandpa's Cadillac!

Wow Lou Jack has quite a car there. I never knew of this Cadillac car before. It is really neat look and fun to watch that top go up and down too. What a event that is when you put that top in motion. That supercharger was a great addition to this neat car. Jack was sure a funny guy and a awesome owner and it was so fun to hear his description of his car. I bet Lou that ride was really fun! I love that where you can adjust the exhaust sound that was awesome! Quite a expensive car back in the day. Thanks as always Lou for sharing with us!!!

I'll use one of my favorite expressions to describe this beautiful Cadillac; A wolf in sheeps clothing! 😆

Lou’s videos are getting better than Lenos, there more honest and he always has the owner and they are cars we all drive - no exotics . Thanks Lou

GREETING. From Venezuela, WOW! with these sports car I will feel like going through MONTE CARLOS MONACO roads. . .

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

This car would be so much more beloved if they had just put an LS in it...

See Caddy can build hot cars! GM has a lot of manufacturing capability that’s for sure. Nice find Lou. BTW Happy Holidays!

Are you going to do more train videos?

Gear heads would jizz their pants; light weight, rear drive & supercharged V8.

Must be nice being able to afford such a car, people always like to showw off no need for that

One one hand, the least practical Caddy ever built, as it has no room for any luggage, and even with the top up there isn't enough room in the trunk for a golf bag. So you can't take your golf buddy to the links in it. As a matter of fact, you have to put your golf bag in the passenger seat. On the other, the fastest Caddy ever. You pays yer money and you takes yer choice...

Would like to see the Lincoln that is in the background of this video. That vehicle is much more interesting!

Here is something to consider if an urge to buy one of these vehicles is too strong to resist: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nrRdZqeflseohGw.html And it ain't even the "V" version! Or even this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rcCkZb2ip5iuXYE.html

It’s not a corvette don’t call it that
