The Cadillac XLR was a two-seat luxury roadster offered from 2004-'09 that featured a retractable hardtop roof. (A higher-performance XLR-V model, sold from 2006-'09, is reviewed separately.) The XLR came with just about all of the luxury features you'd expect, including 18-inch alloy wheels with run-flat tires, adaptive xenon HID headlights, adaptive cruise control, heated leather seats with plenty of power adjustments, dual-zone automatic climate control, keyless startup, a head-up display, Bluetooth, a navigation system and a Bose audio system with satellite radio and a CD changer. Changes throughout the model's run were minimal, the most notable being an upgrade from a five-speed-automatic transmission to a six-speed for '07, and the offering of color-themed (Passion Red, Platinum) special editions in its latter few years.
A refined yet muscular 4.6-liter V8 powered the XLR. Initially, a five-speed automatic transmission sent the Northstar V8's 320 hp and 310 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. In 2007 a six-speed automatic became standard. Regardless of transmission, the XLR was a spirited enough performer, with 0-60-mph sprints taking less than 6 seconds and high-speed cruising that was effortless and hushed. Full-throttle shifts were very quick, and the sound of the engine at speed was as good as or better than any V8 in its class. Antilock disc brakes, run-flat tires, a tire-pressure monitor, stability control, head/torso side-impact airbags and rear parking sensors were all standard.
Inside, the Cadillac XLR had rich wood trim and aluminum accents in addition to comfortable leather seating. Altogether it was a clean-looking, modern and warm cabin. However, it was cramped even for this class and compared to its European rivals, the XLR didn't come close to matching materials quality and overall design. It did have its fair share of state-of-the-art technologies such as a head-up display (which showed speed, fuel level and audio status on the windshield), adaptive cruise control and a large touchscreen mounted high in the center stack (which kept the dash free of numerous single-use buttons).

Cadillac bids farewell to CTS-V Coupe with special edition
Mon, 12 May 2014With the introduction of the latest Cadillac CTS, we knew it would only be a matter of time before a new CTS-V would come along. Now General Motors has revealed that the next CTS-V will arrive sometime next year, but before it does, the company is sending off the outgoing coupe with a special edition.
For 2015, the Cadillac CTS-V Coupe will come in a limited edition of 500 units decked out with a dark grille treatment, satin-finish wheels, red brake calipers and an upgraded cabin. The interior is decked out Recaro seats trimmed in black with red stitching, Midnight Sapele wood trim, metal pedals and a microsuede-trimmed steering wheel and shifter.
Buyers will be able to opt for white, gray or optional black exterior paint, an available sunroof and a six-speed transmission in either manual or automatic configuration. Of course, the 6.2-liter supercharged V8 comes standard with 556 horsepower, as does Magnetic Ride Control and brakes by Brembo. Pricing will be announced closer to launch, but in the mean time, you can read all there is to know by checking out the official release below.
Cadillac ATS was almost front-wheel drive
Wed, 03 Apr 2013"We were going to do a front-wheel drive Cadillac compact off of Delta because it was going to be less expensive," Doug Parks, General Motors' vice president of global product programs, told the Automotive News during the Detroit Auto Show in January of this year. That sentence, referring to early ATS discussions more than five years ago - a period when the automaker, and the industry, was struggling - reveals that Cadillac's highly acclaimed rear-wheel drive compact sedan almost never happened.
Parks revealed that that automaker actually built a 2.0-liter test mule, on GM's Delta platform (shared with the Chevrolet Cruze and Buick Verano) and tested it in Europe. While the prototype was "pretty darn good," according to Parks, the team realized that in order to compete against Mercedes-Benz and BMW it would have to invest in a new rear-wheel drive platform.
The resulting all-new Alpha platform would eventually underpin the Cadillac ATS, and many would argue that its balanced rear-wheel drive chassis is its single most important attribute. Thankfully, the Alpha's goodness won't stop with the ATS. The upcoming 2014 Cadillac CTS and the future Camaro will also share its architecture, meaning the Cimarron will remain a distant memory.
