Drove a loaded (w/ roof) CXL yesterday.
You can tell it's European built, the car is much shorter than the MCSS even though the specs say it isn't (would free up some space in my garage). Front end felt light w/o a V8 in there, steering rebounded weird.
Interior was nice - they put some nice polished silver bits in there to start but blended wood in - needed the blackout / carbon fiber treatment. Seats felt light on padding compared to the MCSS.
No power though - the 4 cylinder was great for creeping in traffic behind everyone that was going 10 under the posted speed limit last night, and it was getting 36 to the gallon at 56 and 31 at 70 - would be a great commuter.
Waiting for the turbo in the fall - although I don't think this will derail my Corvette GS plans.
