2009 Cadillac XLR Review
Introduction
Like gourmet coffee from McDonald’s, a pair of Christian Dior running shoes or Jack Black as a leading man, there are some things that at first blush just don’t seem to go together. Cadillac is a carmaker synonymous with traditional land yachts and blinged-out SUVs, but few would associate it with a high-performance, dashingly styled two-seat luxury drop top.

2006 Cadillac XLR-V Review
Cadillac’s V-series is to that nameplate what AMG is to Mercedes or M is to BMW. It’s the high-performance wing of the company, where the original product (and its price) gets kicked up some serious notches. It is also a pretty brave enterprise at Cadillac. Running up your colors in the company of cars that define the art of corporate hot rodding is an unmistakable signal of intent.
With its XLR- V, Cadillac puts a player in among the SL55 AMGs and Jaguar XKRs...
