The Corvette-based XLR was supposed to be Cadillac's flagship. So how come we'd rather have the new CTS-V, and why did Eli choose the upcoming Escalade Hybrid as his Super Bowl MVP prize? If the [URL="http://www.gminsidenews.com/forums/showthread.php?t=60708"]rumors (http://www.gminsidenews.com/forums/showthread.php?t=60708) are to be believed, Cadillac hopes to correct that with an updated version of the top-of-the-line roadster this summer.
The production XLR made quite a splash with its EVOQ-ative (http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/car/1162/Cadillac-Evoq.html), edgy styling at the 2003 Detroit show, and it's been on the road essentially unchanged since its introduction in 2004, which would make it just about due for a facelift. We'd expect a revised XLR - and accompanying facelift for the supercharged XLR-V (above) - to get a bigger mouth as the most prominent of the styling updates.
