So much TOO say... THE BEST CAR OUT IN FRONT OF IT'S COMPETITORS, hence; THEY ARE TRAILING "XLR"! I BELIEVE "XLR" IS THE LEADER XLR IS WAY OUT IN FRONT, THERE IS NO COMPARISON! Killer sound system! QUICK ACCELERATION! I FELL REALLY RICH AND "SAFE" IN THIS FINELY MADE AUTO. HERE IS WHY, "I was in Fort Worth, Texas on a rainy cold day, when a car suddenly braked. I had to slam on my brakes! this Cadillacs' brakes work surprisingly so good that it stopped within a few feet of the rear of that car. What amazed me is we were on a decline with wet roads!!! Cadillac has the best brake system I have ever experienced!"

Great car, just a bit small for tall

The Cadillac XLR is a great car, but it is just a bit small for tall drivers (I'm 6-4). Mine had several several system problems, but all taken care of under warranty.
