My guess is he meant the TrailBlazer, so it was probably a prototype SS model in testing. The translation is choppy but what I get out of that is they were testing a supercharged XLR (XLR-V), a supercharged Northstar in the STS-V, some LS6 vehicles and one supercharged LS6 vehicle. Interesting.

Should have stayed awake in more German classes

I get the same jist. He was there for a C6 intro, because of time constraints they didn't actually get to drive one. The GM folks were really friendly and let them look at the Caddies and stuff but pictures weren't allowed.

I like this:

PS: Ich dachte immer Cadi baut nur die Schlachtschiffe für Kojak und Co.
Translation:

ps. I always thought Cadillac just built the battleships for Kojak & Co.


That was in reference to the picture of the XLR being introduced as a Cadillac.

I'd say that the C5 Euro Tail was worse.. I've see some when I drive to Frankfurt sometimes. I don't have a pic though.
