Fun is flooring the XKR at a stoplight and watching the plebes in lesser cars disappear. The active exhaust opens up and the XKR sounds like a vintage Chris Craft boat. The transmission is so good it left us wondering if the days of traditional manuals really are numbered. Despite its drawbacks it’s still fun to throw around a curve, and if you don’t get a thrill each time you look upon the XKR, well, we feel sorry for you. Being seen in the XKR is half the fun; during our week with it we got countless thumbs up by other drivers, queries about how we liked it, and were sometimes simply followed by dreamers.
