Bob,
  I shopped for an Eldo for 2-3-4 yrs or so and never have found the "right" one. Also,I kept my nose in the XLR market. I met one fellow who had a 05 model and he told me that the 05s had body parts that were unique to that year only. (he was a body shop owner) His had body damage (salvage)and he had one heck of a time finding replacement parts. Also,I remember owners whining about the "cheap" interiors on the early models so Cadillac apparently upgraded later models.....hope this helps.....walt...tulsa,ok

we decided the xlr is too small, going to move on to another model. Love the car but getting in and out with leg braces becomes a real challange.
My 76 has plenty of leg room.
