OUR TAKE: This is one of the most beautiful cars made, with an engine growl and a burst off the line more exhilarating than almost anything else on the road, the combination of which will ensure that the XKR is a car we'll see regularly crossing auction blocks 20 years from now. Sure, there are faster and better-handling cars, but none looks this sensual as it speeds away from stoplights.This coupe test car looked even better and was just a little more responsive to steering inputs than the convertible version, leaving some of us wishing we'd opted for the coupe over our long-term ragtop. It also featured a couple of updates over our long-termer, including a black center trim piece that breaks up the aluminum weave. The weave is nice but sometimes can look a bit like tin foil. We also liked the illuminated window switches, something our convertible lacks.Besides those small updates and having a quieter cabin, a handling edge and useful trunk space, it's the same as our convertible and boasts the same potent engine with a cool supercharger whine, showstopping good looks and awesome reflexes.
