Professional Reviews

• “Though not without flaws, the 2007 Cadillac XLR-V, thanks to its thundering V8, impressive feature list and distinctive looks, is a poignant alternative to the more common luxury roadsters and convertibles from Europe.” — Edmunds.com
• “In the rarefied realm of the $100 grand luxury sport roadster, the XLR-V acquits itself handsomely with its combination of edgy style, strong performance and a boatload of luxury features.” — Edmunds.com
• “The Cadillac XLR-V's cabin is attractive, but attractive simply isn't good enough for a car in this price range.” — Edmunds.com
• “The suspension, transmission, steering and brakes of the XLR-V have all been artfully upgraded as well as the engine, to produce a car that accelerates, corners, stops and rides in a way that's more aggressive, tighter, sharper and more tied to the road than is a standard XLR, yet that remains true to Cadillac standards of comfort and luxury.” — Forbes
• “The steering is like a late-in-life Marlon Brando having a root canal: weighty but numb. It gains some feel over the base XLR's rack but still isn't communicative enough...” — Automobile
