I REALLY like it. It looks great, and the engine is fantastic.

*drewl* That's gotta be the best vehicle you can buy in that price range.


"Like XLR, the XLR-V will be built at GM’s state-of-the-art, award-winning Bowling Green assembly center."


What state is that?

Nevermind, it's Kentucky. There's a Bowling Green Missouri but it's tiny.

Yes, I've been through both. There's a considerable difference.

Kevin, you call yourself a GM fan? Bowling Green has long been the famed Corvette birthplace. They make the cars alongside each other.


As to the XLR-V, more power is always nice, and I like the look. I still would have preferred to see an LS2 in there than a supercharged Northstar.

Perhaps, but I'm not complaining at any rate. It's a great overall package.

Nice, but I would buy a Corvette over one anyday. Are they going to offer a manual tranny on the XLR-V?

Nope. They're not going to develop a Northstar manual anytime soon, unfortunately.

Kevin, don't tell me this is the first time you heard that there isn't and probably won't be a Northstar manual.

I think I remember hearing it, but it takes a few times to sink in.

GM fans have to practice selective listening to stay loyal to their manufacturer.

No, we actually need the opposite, because if we pay attention then we get mad and aren't loyal.

Isn't that what I just said, except in better English?

No, you said we need to pay attention to stay loyal.  I say we shouldn't pay attention so we don't get mad at them, therefore are loyal.

No, I said "selective listening": Paying attention only to certain things. It's a fanboy's most-used device.

I'm not sure whether I should congratulate you or slowly back away.
