• Reviews

  • "The 2008 Cadillac XLR boasts an artistic, eye-catching design that still stands out in a crowd. Its lackluster performance and interior craftsmanship, however, put it at a disadvantage in the very competitive (and expensive) luxury roadster segment."—Edmunds.comEdmunds: 2008 Cadillac XLR Review

  • "The XLR-V is a genuine high-performance machine, even if it doesn't quite feel like a $100,000 car. Cadillac's challenge is to convince well-heeled shoppers that any XLR is in the same league as its prestigious competition."—ConsumerGuideConsumerGuide: 2008 Cadillac XLR Road Test
