2006 Cadillac XLR

The XLR is Cadillac's two-seat luxury roadster, a convertible that pairs the brand's bold styling with a serious dose of performance. It drives with a planted, confident feel, and the retractable hardtop keeps the cabin quiet with the roof up. Inside, you get a leather-wrapped cockpit with real wood trim and a Bose audio system, though the cabin is snug, as you'd expect from a two-seater. Running costs lean premium, with higher insurance and maintenance than a typical coupe, but that's the price of a flagship roadster. The XLR is the sole trim of Cadillac's flagship roadster, and it comes fully loaded with a retractable hardtop, leather, and real wood trim. Under the hood is a 4.6L V8 making 320 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque, paired with a five-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive, good for 0-60 in the mid-five-second range.
