    Rumorpile: 3 Crossovers For 1 Cadillac

    Currently in the Cadillac lineup, there is only one crossover, the SRX. But a new report from Reuters says that lineup will grow to three by 2017.

    Three automotive supplier sources who know of Cadillac's plans say that a replacement for the midsize SRX will be the first model to arrive around in 2016. A year after, a small and large crossover will bookend the midsize model.

    Why three crossovers? Cadillac is in the middle of fleshing out its product lineup to better compete with the likes of the German automakers in the U.S. and in China. With the likes of Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz adding crossovers of all sizes to satisfy the need of crossovers, Cadillac wants a slice of that.

    Hopefully SRX goes to Alpha platform. I could see them doing a Gamma or Delta based crossover to take on the GLA, then SRX gets redone off teh Equinox platform and a Lambda crossover is added. But what good does 3 FWD crossovers do them? Plus Lambda came out in 2007, is Cadillac going to get a version of it in 2016, it will be really dated by then.

    Well this is what I do know.


    The Omega will supply one of the Crossovers if what GM is indicating is correct.

    The first Omega is the LTS sedan in 3rd QRT 2015 as a 2016. The next will be a Crossover Omega for Cadillac. Then they will follow with coupe and or convertible.

    So where does the Omega crossover slot in? Above the Escalade? And can Cadillac support 2 SUVs in high price range, when their previous high dollar offerings have failed. I'm seeing a $30k small crossover, a new SRX at $40k and a Lambda crossover at $50k. That way they can keep the Escalade at $65k as their top SUV. And is Escalade is going to have a word for a name, then all Cadillacs should. It makes no sense to make a BRX, SRX, CRX, Subaru WRX, or XRX or whatever they come up with for the 3 crossovers, then call the other SUV Escalade. Everything should have a name, Alphabet soup names have failed Cadillac and Lincoln, Infiniti has a mess of a naming structure too. These companies so desperately want to copy the Germans they will do anything.

    If a sub-SRX crossover is coming from Cadillac, I hope to hell it isn't as staggeringly cheap as the bmw X3 I was checking out today, because if it's as little as twice as good, I'd rather they skip that segment entirely.

    No! No! I don't want a Caddy cross over! I don't know if it's just me but I feel like crossovers have very limited appeal, so I don't think it would be a good business move.

    The SRX has been Cadillac's best selling model in the United States since 2010. Crossovers have the largest appeal of pretty much any vehicle category out there.

    I agree there is a mass appeal it seems for these. The first time I was in one, it felt like I was in the belly of a june bug. The ride was better than I expected but it had a sort of old fashioned "station wagon" feel to it (in a rounder, wider sort of way). Maybe that is the appeal.

    Sheeple love crossovers.

    Crossovers = safety

    Crossovers = prestige

    Crossovers = more passenger space

    • I understand It took me a whole month the marinate that idea of keeping politics put of discussion.  Not only in here, but in general in real life.  But seeing these forums are real life anyway, Ive merged the two worlds together. It took me a month to understand the whole mystique about 'politics'. This is why I came to the conclusion that politics is not taboo. And it shouldnt be. Ever.  I also came to the realization that the folk that want to control us and/or divide us, who ever those folk may be, also flood the mass media of all kinds of media entities  with trolls and podcasters and influencers and bots, and press secretaries with mis and dis information.   I simply cannot just let mis and dis information run loose.    Since when do we bow down? Since when do we let lies, threats and innuendo win the day? Its false to say that we, the people, cant do nothing.  When we do nothing is the day we lose everything.  We have a voice, and we shall use that voice.  THAT is the very least thing we can do.  And I simply refuse to let the lies be transmitted.       I understand.  It took me a month not posting to come to a conclusion.  I was cyber bullied...again.  Its OK for cyberbullying but its not OK to talk about what REALLY is going on with our leaders.  The dude that cyberbullied me discussed that not a single thread goes by without 'politics' being discussed. Yet nothing in those threads were really any threat to anybody.   Polititcs is not taboo. Discussing or pointing out that governing folk are taking liberties with our liberties is not in any way a threat to discussing automobiles on this site. I took a second read of those threads that this particular person was crying about and trying to make an issue of and there was nothing childish or unfriendly.  The ONLY thing that was stated was the truth.  IF said truth was NOT a truth to this person crying, then the issue really is with this person. I told him to leave.  He told me to phoque off.  Thing is, he cyberbullied me last year and I took the whole year off.    NO!  If he cannot handle a pissed off Canadian who is GREEK from QUEBEC (a nod to the other troll who only seems to want to pick fights) because TRUTH was said in those threads then HE must look himself in the mirror.  He does not engage in politics he says.   He asked me a question about caring... Well, when we do NOT engage in politics, when we do NOT share information, then you get what is the current political climate in the USA.    Ill ask ANY of you: 1. Do ANY of you believe that Canada is a threat to the US? 2. Do ANY of you believe that Canada has screwed the US in any way economically? 3. Do ANY of you believe that Canada is the US' enemy? 4. Do ANY of you believe that the US does not need Canada? 5. Do ANY of you believe that the US subsidizes Canada to the tune of 200 billion dollars per year? 6. Do ANY of you believe that Canada is not a real country? 7. Do ANY of you believe that Canada should become the 51st State?   and finally   8. Have you heard Trump say all those things?   Questions 1-7:  If any of those questions is an answer yes, then THIS is why ANYBODY has to engage in politics.  Because there is a whole lot of malarkey being spewed by Trump. If question #8 is a no.   Then THIS is why EVERYBODY needs to engage in politics. There is so much bullshyte from Trump  just from this single scenario that if Americans do NOT talk about politics, Trump and the powers that enable Trump will be duping Americans for a loooooonnnng time.     
    • I love me a long wheelbase large sedan. They just have a really cool presence when walking around them. 
    • Talking, in general, about politics is not taboo. Talking politics where politics are not wanting to be talked about, is taboo. Nobody is going to specific group pages (Corvette, Mustang, Dallas Cowboys, Montreal Canadians, Dale Earnhardt Jr) groups and wanting to talk politics. Go to political pages that are dedicated to talking that stuff. There are sooooo many pages/sites available if you want to talk politics. Talk politics with people who want to talk politics. That seems fair, right?  Personally, I don't want to be talking about the new Silverado EV's multiple trims and battery sizes and have somebody cram some political garbage into the comment section.
