The Corvette of Cadillacs.

2007 XLR Review Summary & Specifications

The 2007 Cadillac XLR is faster than its competitors from Mercedes-Benz, Lexus and Jaguar; and offers fresh, distinctive styling. It holds its own in other important categories such as ride, cornering, comfort and electronics. The XLR simply succeeds as a luxury performance roadster, as well as in its mission to be an admirable flagship for General Motors.

NewCarTestDrive.com correspondent Sam Moses filed the original report from the Columbia River Gorge in Washington, with Mitch McCullough reporting from Los Angeles.
