| Road Test |
The 2008 Cadillac XLR has aged well since its 2004 introduction, although it’s due for a light exterior refresh for the 2009 model year. If you didn’t know, Cadillac’s sporty two-seat retractable hardtop roadster is based on the Chevrolet Corvette, but is defined by its own sharp-edged styling and exclusive 4.6-liter, 320-horsepower Northstar V-8 engine in standard trim.
