Why should I also consider these?

All the vehicles in this class have a very distinct character; they’re sold as much on how the tactile feel they send to the driver as they are styling and features.

The Porsche 911 comes in Targa and Cabriolet versions, as well as Turbo form, and has the automaker’s famous flat-six engines mounted at the back.

The Cadillac XLR has a supercharged option like the Jaguar, but its folding hardtop, angular body, and American V-8 sound have a different appeal.

The BMW 6-Series has a fabric convertible top and a 500-hp M6 edition, while the Mercedes-Benz SL roadsters sport a folding hardtop and available AMG versions with more than 600 hp.

The XK however has a more distinctive interior design than either the BMW or the Benz.

 
2009 Cadillac XLR
The eye-catching 2009 Cadillac XLR starts with the sharp-edged Corvette and makes some compromises for the sake of grand-touring luxury.
 
2008 BMW 6-Series
The 2008 BMW 6-Series is overwrought and overstocked with technology that distracts even from the M6’s heroic performance.
