That would give the right look, but I wonder how much of the styling would survive the raised roof, extra thick windows and pillars, and ultra extended wheelbase.

I honestly cannot see that car as anything other than a complete rip off of the SL. There didn't seem to be any original thought behind it other than making it look and drive worse.

I'm going to go ahead and argue a little. Cadillac may not have the biggest balls in the world but they have been forging forward with some nice cars and even taking some risks in the process (i.e. their entire design language, the V-wagon, etc). Maybe they realized that a 200k caddy wasn't the smartest risk to take…

My girlfriend is in love with the XLR styling, even though she doesn't like convertibles. I hope that I can one day afford to get her one, or something similar that she likes. We're still very young, so it might take a while!

I drove a Panamera GTS last year for my old job. One of the best cars I've ever been in. But I also like how it looked.

Just like Toyota had a run-a-way success with their Hybrid Synergy Drive and started licensing their tech to other automakers. If Tesla perfects this system and continues to create demand for their vehicles, other automakers will come knocking pen in hand ready to sign a licensing deal. There's you're…

Excellent.

They won't throw away the old batteries during the swap, they'll just recharge them on their own time instead of on the consumer's time.

At this point? Honda. They are functional... but that's about it.

Fair enough. Please refer to the second paragraph of my previous reply to you.

Was about to say same thing about RR, but ill just recommend your post instead.
