Although GM North American President Gary Cowger will be seen driving a pre-production XLR in this year's Woodward Dream Cruise it won't be arriving in Cadillac showrooms until May of 2003. Will it become a future collectable like most of the other heritage and performance cars and trucks making their pilgrimage to Detroit for this annual event? While its pure speculation, my bets are yes.
