Default RE: Porsche 911 beats out 'Vette and Viper

Cadillac XLR
Price as tested: $77,290
Powertrain: 320-horsepower 4.6-liter V-8, five-speed automatic transmission
Photos and details

Rank: 12 out of 14
Highs: Uses regular fuel, powertrain
Lows: Lacks agility, slow top operation

Not recommended due to insufficient reliability data.

Calling the XLR an "elegant poser," Consumer Reports called its handling "sound but not sporty.." The magazine called the car's ride "OK, but a bit unsettled."

The XLR is based on the underpinnings of the Chevrolet Corvette. The Corvette actually has more occupant space, the magazine notes, in spite of being much more of a performance car.

While the interior is "plush and inviting," the magazine said, some plastic parts seemed cheap or didn't fit well.
