meaning of XLR

harry yarnell · Feb 12, 2005

Does XLR stand for something? Is it simply a marketing acronym? My colleagues at th University have already reminded me it's an audio connector.

That was one of my first questions when I bought mine and according to the owner of my dealership, XLR stands for eXtreme Luxury Roadster. (sounds good to me)

Sorry, that is not right. The naming strategy is as follows for XLR:

"X" Series Luxury Roadster

Hope this helps you :glol

Does that mean the V-series will be a VLR?

I think and think and think.......
just looked at my XLR letters on the car :confused

I think I got it
XLR stands for Xenon Light Roadster - easy X L R :glol

No, as I was told here in germany they say It`s eXtra Luxury Roadster

I should ask Bob Lutz when I met him last aug here in duesseldorf.

eXperimental Luxury Roadster

at least we can all agree it's a Luxury Roadster :thumbs

Guest · Feb 14, 2005

In Harry's case it's an eXported Luxury Roadster.

On the serious side, which I don't really think there could be a serious side to this discussion. Lady Phoenix...............I don't mind being wrong, but I did clarify where I obtained my information.............you, however did not.?????????

Someone must have a real contact at GM..............Please check this out before the boxing gloves go on.

Apparently there are no media or electronic types on this list, as nobody's commented on the audio connector comment. In the audio visual/television business, there is an Amphenol audio connector called an XLR connector. It's a class connector, I might add.

Ive come across them several times doing web searches
.....wouldn't have a clue what to do with one!

OK Lady Phoenix,
I sure would like to hear your explanation of why your so right and I'm so wrong concerning what XLR means. Would you care to back up your statement? I mean you just made a blanket statment that I was wrong. You can't do that unless you back it up.
right guys?

I Beleave the Hard Cover BOOK we all got about the Making of the XLR backs you UP. Robin

Thanks Robin,
It wasn't anything about being right or wrong, it was the way Lady P denounced me without any evidence before the court. Thank you for the side bar.
Do you have a particular place or page in that book for me to view the meaning? I know there is a lot of reading in that book and I would guess that you don't remember where it made mention of the meaning of XLR.
Thanks again
Bob

You are right. It isn't about being right or wrong. But just for your info, this was a quote from the media.gm. com website where they are quoting the naming strategy when the SRX was introduced:

The SRX name is consistent with the Cadillac product naming strategy. The first letter denotes the series. The second and third letters stand for “reconfigurable” and “crossover.”

Here is the title of the story for reference:

Cadillac SRX - All New Luxury Crossover Vehicle

http://www.media.gm.com/division/cadillac/

Thus X stands for X-Class, L for Luxury and R for Roadster. Have a great day! :glol :glol

you go girl.... :iagree

Guest · Feb 17, 2005

Thank you L.P. for the information. Indeed I have checked my source as well and have confirmed that it is indeed the X series Luxury Roadster.
As you read in my posts, I was a bit miffed that you didn't qualify where you got the information and just told me my fly was unzipped..........NO HARM, NO FOUL
THanks

Your fly was unzipped? Ooops! Didn't mean to look when I wasn't supposed to, but the look was well worth it. No hard feelings? :leaving
