The XLR is meant to be a competitive threat against the well established European and Japanese luxury cars. This two-seater is Cadillac’s pride-and-joy. Don’t be confused – even though the XLR has the same platform as the Corvette, the XLR isn’t a Corvette in disguise. This caddy is more of a country cruising machine than a sports hot rod. This is a bit of an old-man caddy, with a softer and more agreeable ride. It also uses a more subdued 4/6-liter, 320-horsepower V8 engine rather than the Vette’s edgier 6/2-liter, 436-hp V8 power plant.

Since the XLR uses aircraft-light parts, it isn’t heavy and logy like some might suspect. In addition, the standard Magnetic Ride Control adaptive suspension system automatically firms up or softens the suspension based on driving conditions. Adding this up provide smooth and responsive maneuvers. The mash-up of the cutting exterior and bold interior with catching accents do make for a compelling presence. The XLR’s retractable hard top provides a great trade off between hard top and open top. Whenever you put the top down, you should already have in place a Cadillac windscreen.

This Cadillac XLR does indeed turn heads, but it’s not worthy all of the hype GM is giving it – far from it. . The Corvette looks pretty good against the XLR in comparison, which is $20K less expensive and provides more power.

As fast as the XLR is when pushed, those expecting a true Cadillac sports car will be disappointed. The take-off from the line is quick, but not as quick as the Corvette. The XLR isn’t notable on the chassis, which rolls to heavily into curves and pitches to far down when breaking fast. Even though this car is fitted with adaptive suspension with split-second control, the XLR is still not up to the handling performance of its European and Japanese rivals. The XLR is best on the open highway, when it can really stretch its legs and unwind. If putting the top down, then don’t go without a Cadillac windscreen.

This is an entry from Cadillac, going up against mature European and Japanese luxury models. The XLR is a flashy car, what Cadillac wants to build up. Though it shares the same platform as the current Corvette, the XLR variant is not a simple case of corporate badge engineering. This caddy has more in common with the luxury boat cruisers than sporty little roadsters. The Caddy’s responses are softer and comfortably refined. The XLR places a mellower 4/6-liter, 320-horsepower V8 engine rather than the Vette’s edgier 6/2-liter, 436-hp V8 power plant.

The XLR makes use of light weight parts pretty aggressively, so this car is lighter on its feet then some might suspect. In addition, the standard Magnetic Ride Control adaptive suspension system automatically firms up or softens the suspension based on driving conditions. This ensures generally smooth and responsive maneuvers. When you put together the edgy, angular styling outside the body and the wood accent inside the interior, you do get a rich looking car. Further, the XLR’s power retractable hardtop roof allows the comfort and security of a coupe when the top is raised. Whenever you pull back the hard top, then you should have a Cadillac windscreen.

The Cadillac XLR does indeed make a stunner, but it’s not worthy of it’s self named, world class status. . If you’re looking at the XLR, then you might as well be looking at the Corvette, which costs $20K less and provides 116 more horse power.

The XLR is certainly a fast car, but, well, it’s just not sports car fast. Acceleration, though certainly quick, is not as forceful as its corporate cousin. The XLR has squishy suspension which causes the vehicle to pitch and roll under heavy cornering. Even though this car is fitted with adaptive suspension with split-second control, the XLR is still not up to the handling performance of its European and Japanese rivals. The XLR does its best driving on the highway, when you’re in the straight line. If going with the top down, then your wife will thank you for getting a Cadillac windscreen.

The XLR is meant to be a competitive threat against the well established European and Japanese luxury cars. The two-seat Cadillac XLR roadster is the company’s flagship vehicle. Though the XLR has the same platform as the Corvette, well, actually,the Corvette makes better us of it. This caddy is more like a land yacht than a nimble little sports car. This Caddy is a bit of a candy-ass with a softer and more comfortable ride. The XLR puts under the hood a softer 4/6-liter, 320-horsepower V8 engine rather than the Vette’s edgier 6/2-liter, 436-hp V8 power generator.

Since the XLR uses aircraft-light parts, it isn’t heavy and logy like some might suspect. Also, the standard Magnetic Ride Control adaptive suspension system thinks for you, adjusting ride smoothness automatically. With all of this taken together, you get smooth and responsive maneuvers. The mash-up of the cutting exterior and bold interior with catching accents do make for a compelling presence. Further, the XLR’s power retractable hardtop roof allows the comfort and security of a coupe when the top is raised. Whenever you pull back the hard top, then you should have a Cadillac windscreen.

As impressive as it is, the Cadillac XLR roadster is not quite the “standard of the world” — far from it. . The Corvette looks pretty good against the XLR in comparison, which is $20K less expensive and provides more power.

The XLR certainly have plenty of speed, but the top-end may still come out short for some enthusiasts. The acceleration is good, but it doesn’t feel like you’re blasting off from a rocket, like it should. The XLR isn’t notable on the chassis, which rolls to heavily into curves and pitches to far down when breaking fast.

This is an entry from Cadillac, going up against mature European and Japanese luxury models. This two-seater is Cadillac’s pride-and-joy. Though it shares the same platform as the current Corvette, the XLR variant is not a simple case of corporate badge engineering. It’s more of a grand touring machine than a hard-edged sports car. This is a bit of an old-man caddy, with a softer and more agreeable ride. The XLR puts under the hood a softer 4/6-liter, 320-horsepower V8 engine rather than the Vette’s edgier 6/2-liter, 436-hp V8 power generator.

The XLR makes use of light weight parts pretty aggressively, so this car is lighter on its feet then some might suspect. In addition, the standard Magnetic Ride Control adaptive suspension system automatically firms up or softens the suspension based on driving conditions. With all of this taken together, you get smooth and responsive maneuvers. The joining of forces between the space-age rocket designed exterior and carbon interior make this a go-go car. The retractable hard top is a great piece of engineering, a great switch between hard top and the soft top. If going top down, then you really should get a Cadillac windscreen.

This Cadillac XLR does indeed turn heads, but it’s not worthy all of the hype GM is giving it – far from it. Though its styling and Cadillac badge will appeal to those looking to roll up to the valet in something different from the status quo, the XLR comes up short in terms of maximum performance.  The interior is especially disappointing when compared to its similarly priced rivals from Germany and Great Britain. The Corvette is a better car, which is $20K less in the price tag, and the engine delivers more ponies.

Even though the XLR is pretty zippy, this still isn’t a true sport car – you better look elsewhere. Acceleration, though certainly quick, is not as forceful as its corporate cousin. The XLR isn’t notable on the chassis, which rolls to heavily into curves and pitches to far down when breaking fast. Even with its adaptive suspension’s split-second response, the Cadillac XLR still feels less willing to tackle turns than the more athletic European contenders. The XLR is best on the open highway, when it can really stretch its legs and unwind. If going with the top down, then your wife will thank you for getting a Cadillac windscreen.

The XLR makes good use of lightweight parts, such as aluminum suspension pieces, that keeps the XLR’s weight pretty reasonable. The super-duper Magnetic Ride Control adaptive suspension system does a great job of automatically adjusting the suspension for ride smoothness. All of this makes for smooth and responsive maneuvers.

Chrysler produced two different versions: a coupe or a roadster (in which case, you’ll need a Crossfire windscreen (windblocker wind deflector). The first generation of Crossfire was based upon the Mercedes Benz SLK class, a somewhat dated technology. The Crossfire was slow to respond, sluggish steering, and poor aerodynamics. While the exterior design caught eyes, the interior was underwhelming. Most other automobiles in the same class provide a cockpit that didn’t have such a plastic-feel, as the Crossfire. Finally, the car’s performance is mediocre as well. It’s not a fast or quick car, it’s not responsive, and the gas millage isn’t all that great.

The Crossfire was introduced to the world in the summer of 2003, as a coupe only. Then, the two seater roadster started production in 2005. A new high performance SRT6 version was introduced latter in fall, providing a supercharged 3/2 liter, V6 engine. The Crossfire engine provides 330 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. Unfortunately, the only transmission choice for the SRT6 was the heavy duty five speed automatic. Next, the underpinnings of the car were upgraded, improving performance, but making the ride as rough as a tractor.  Finally, performance tires can significantly improve the ride profile of the Crossfire, adding a lot more wow-factor and glees of exhilaration .

Listening to pricing feedback, a stripped down model was also added in 2005. For more options, new colors, wheel styles and colors were added. With all of these options, the roadster still remained the most popular version, as long as a is employed.

Do to poor sales, 2009 may be the last production year of the Crossfire.  The roadster will most likely remain the most popular version of the Crossfire.  There isn’t a strong prosepct for this car in the collector marketplace.  This car will certainly be missed by its fans and the auto industry alike.

Yet another entry from Cadillac to show the world it’s serious about competing with the top European and Japanese luxury brands. The two-seat Cadillac XLR roadster is the company’s flagship vehicle. Dija know that both the XLR and Corvette are built on top of the same platform, even though the Corvette does a better job with it. This caddy is more like a land yacht than a nimble little sports car. This is a bit of an old-man caddy, with a softer and more agreeable ride. The XLR places a mellower 4/6-liter, 320-horsepower V8 engine rather than the Vette’s edgier 6/2-liter, 436-hp V8 power plant.

The XLR makes use of light weight parts pretty aggressively, so this car is lighter on its feet then some might suspect. Furthermore, the defacto Magnetic Ride Control adaptive suspension system automatically adjusts ride smoothness, based upon how bumpy the road is. All of this makes for smooth and responsive maneuvers. The combination of bold, angular styling outside and distinctive eucalyptus-wood cockpit accents gives the XLR a sophisticated presence. The XLR’s retractable hard top provides a great trade off between hard top and open top. If going top-down, then you should arm yourself with a windscreen.

As impressive as it is, the Cadillac XLR roadster is not quite the “standard of the world” — far from it. . If you’re looking at the XLR, then you might as well be looking at the Corvette, which costs $20K less and provides 116 more horse power.

As fast as the XLR is when pushed, those expecting a true Cadillac sports car will be disappointed. The acceleration is good, but it doesn’t feel like you’re blasting off from a rocket, like it should. The XLR has a soft underpining, causing the vehicle to roll in curves and nosedive under fast breaking. Even with its adaptive suspension’s split-second response, the Cadillac XLR still feels less willing to tackle turns than the more athletic European contenders. The XLR does its best driving on the highway, when you’re in the straight line. If going with the top down, then your wife will thank you for getting a windscreen.

As fast as the XLR is when pushed, those expecting a true Cadillac sports car will be disappointed. The acceleration is notable, but still underneath what one hopes for in this sort of rod.
