| Road Test |
The 2008 Cadillac XLR-V is a sporty two-seat retractable hardtop roadster, one based on the Chevrolet Corvette, but defined by its own sharp-edged styling, exclusive interior, and unique suspension tuning. This Chevy-based platform gives the XLR-V a strong foundation from which to launch--and wrapped in Cadillac’s creased suit, the XLR-V is a striking-looking car, though its interior could use a little more refinement.
