Powerful Northstar V8, Corvette underpinnings provide excellent handling, retractable hardtop.

My husband purchased my red XLR new as a present to replace another vehicle on the spur of the moment.

My Cadillac XLR is a real head turner wherever it goes. If it is in the same lot as a Porche or Mercedes-Benz SL500, people are only interested in the XLR.
