You delight in making us sweat; doncha John? Ok, I admit it - I LOVE it!
Years ago, I would have chosen the T-Bird without hesitation. Just as Barry, above, points out - luxury and sport. But today, with all these hard years behind me - I'll still take the T-Bird. Look at that color, those wheels, the sports roadster tonneau! Yep, T-Bird!
Neither does anything for me at all. If I were at a car show and either or both cars were there, I'd be walking right past them. With a gun to my temple, I might be able to go with the Cadillac, but I'd have to be in that moment to make that decision. Both are unattractive to my eyes.
T-bird please. As long as it is a convertible. Big boat luxury cars don't interest me. The only years I like the Caddy are 1957 & 1962. And for some reason I liked the looks of:
Would not own one because over the years I have heard they were not very good, but I still like there looks.
I always liked these Cadillacs. A neighbor had an XLR, but sold it when he found out a taillight replacement would cost $5K if it was broken.
Holy carp! Both had good engines. The Allante had the Northstar mill transversely mounted and powered front wheel drive. The XLR had a V8 in front but was rear wheel drive.
