I like this car! It looks great! Clear and beautiful lines, not like today's Cadillacs. No doubt - the best Caddy ever made! And the engine is pretty good for 1993 (I'm wrong - the model year for the car with Northstar V8 295 hp is 1993, before there was a much boring engine in 200 hp). A great predecessor of XLR, but the XLR was just a fail. I wish to see Allante reborned.

It's too bad the Northstar engines have proven to be incredibly unreliable versus the L26 (4.9L) engines used prior.

I'm a lil late to this discussion but the Northstar was a beautiful engine. Ahead of it's time in general but REALLY ahead for Cadillac! Shame something like headbolt length gave it such a bad rap. GM could have nipped it in the bud but as is the norm in Detroit. They dropped the ball. Northstar should have been a market changing motor.
