Cadillac XLR to retire

Launched for the 2004 model year, Cadillac is pulling the plug on its flagship XLR roadster. Using Corvette underpinnings and the luxury brand's 4.6-litre Northstar V8, the XLR never really sold in significant numbers--only 30 were sold in Canada in 2008--so its retirement won't be a big deal.
