overall a beautifull highly sought after car amazing modern styling beatufill interior competing with mercedes and bmw only downside to the car would be the lack off power they need to get power up to 350 on same engine or supercharge or both

Drove out of dealership at night, hit the very first traffic light and heard car next to me beeping. I rolled down the window and the person in other car asked me what I was driving, I told him the new XLR. His one word response confirmed I made the right choice. His response......"SMOKING!!!"

I was only able to drive this car a few weeks before I had to put it away for the season. However, it was the most fun car to drive. The performance is unbeleivable. The looks are fantastic. I had people stop their cars to watch me drive by. I took it on a 300 mile trip and the time just flew by. I also flew by quite a few cars. I can't recommend this car enough.
This car rocks

The car moves like a rocket and handles like it is on wheels. I have not been in a Vette lately, but I am sure the XLR is just as as quick and smooth as a Vette convertable. GM scored with this car!

this is the car Cadillac should have always been making. Driving the car around town, I am always at the head of a parade. EVERYONE wants to see this car...and drive it. Roomier than it has a right to be, handles with aplomb, and most importantly, buckets of torque off the line. Visually, it is simply stunning. My advice: get in line.

Was waiting on a Benz and decided to get an xlr while I was waiting. Well I like the xlr so much, I canceled the Benz. I guess that says it all. Cadillac is back after being lost in space for a quarter century. Well done!!
Value second to none

In a simple word this car is amazing! I have just purchased mine in a black on black bases. Its alot of fun to drive, prior to the Xlr I had the Sc430 Lexus and it was stolen. So I went for this car and iam completly greatful for this car it has the looks, the power, and the preformence. Overall the car is a pure joy to wake up to every morning, I have an 03 Rnage rover as well as I havent driven it since I bought this car.

Have driven the car about 200 miles since purchased and have received a compliment about every 10 miles driven on my cars looks inside and out. This car handles like a Corvette with the luxury of a Jaguar. Can't wait until summer cruising with the top down on those moonlit nights...

So far the car is awesome. It is a rocket ship with all the bells and whistles and luxury you could imagine. It's great to have a true American roadster with bitchin style.

I had never owned a Cadillac but always loved the look of the new Escalades...so, I got on the 'ol waiting list at 2 dealerships, 9 months later and alot of wondering whether the wait would be worth it -well, it was more than worth the wait, the car stands on it's name from Cadillac...people have just about gotten into accidents around LA because they keep wanting to look at the car- ...It is sleek, beautiful, comfortable and rides lighter than an sl500, it's not as bulky as a jag xk8 and it clearly blows away the sc430-how about that for a proud owner?!
What a GREAT car

You will not find a better car on the market. This car has suberb handling and killer speed. This is the most extraordinary piece of machinery I have ever came forth with. Cadillac is the best company ever! Don't buy anything else except for Cadillacs! This car is worth much, much more than 70,000 dollars.
wow

head turner and reminds me of the old wave axiom of the corvette when you see other car nuts
5 month's ownership of an XLR is bliss!

As my personal vehicle I had owned a 1992 model XJS V-12 Jaguar convertible w/spoilers. Until I saw the 2004 Cadillac XLR last Fall throughout the 12 years I owned the Jaguar, I never once saw a vehicle that came close to it in style, performance & comfort, nor did I ever contemplate replacing it.The XLR's debut changed my attitude almost the moment I first saw it. During the nearly five months I have owned my black XLR, I have consistently experienced pure pleasure in driving it. Not only does it "turn heads", it handles and performs flawlessly and with power to spare.I never cease to be amazed at the technology it offers. incorporates.

It is seldom that you think about a car for 4 years, finally order it, and have to wait 363 days for it to arrive. And then you pick it up and it is everything you thought it would be, plus more. That's my XLR
Luv it

Both kids and blueheads turn when it goes by. After driving a BMW and a Mercedes it's nice to be comfortable and still enjoy the wind.
