XLR and Allante were not sports cars.

Meh. Was it even as good as a plain C6? I don't recall, such a bore. But 443hp and a 13s 1/4 aren't exactly the stuff of dreams. Point is that Cadillac needs a lot of things before an actual sports car. A mid engine GM sports car sure makes more sense as some form of Corvette, which at least has racing heritage and decades of sports car experience. Cadillac has what, a few dozen XLR V's and some ties to Allard 70 years ago?
