It's a long term offering for RX drivers. Get your head out of your ass. The SRX may not appeal to you personally, but it's no Cimarron.

This SRX, while not our cup of tea, will still sell much better than the old SRX. As such, it will likely also be profitable which should be GM's number 1 concern right now.

2 months is nothing.

Japan was in a slump for about 10 years. They only recently recovered and now they're back to this. We're actually duplicating what their economy did 15 years ago. I'm kinda drunk right now or I'd 'splain better

GM is struggling just to keep the lights on. If they can take a swipe at Lexus with this new SRX and be successful at it, then let them. They tried it once our way with the SRX and it failed. Now let them go for something that will sell well.

The new SRX will sell better because women will like it more. Woman <generalizing> want FWD if not AWD. They LOVE the RX and it's NEVER been a better vehicle than even the old SRX. I'm sure that Cadillac could make a Sigma SRX-V that would run with or beat the X5-M, I have no doubt in my mind of it. However, GM doesn't need to be throwing development dollars at something that will sell 12,000 a year if they're lucky.

They're aiming at the RX. It was there first and sells the most.

Since when does your local real estate lady care about a 500 hp X5 M? Cadillac tried it once your way. Came back and gave it a world class interior.... they still couldn't sell them. RX is the target. Enclave gets the people who want larger, SRX gets the people who want smaller and status. In the end it's about sales. Do you think that the X5 M will sell better than the old SRX?

The almost 1960 Packard. Facel Vega entered into discussion with Studebaker-Packard Corporation as that company hoped to resurrect its moribund Packard division. However, Mercedes-Benz, which had a marketing deal with S-P using Studebaker's dealership network to sell its product in the United States, objected to the plan. The cash-strapped company could not afford to lose its cash stream from Mercedes-Benz, and Studebaker-Packard withdrew from further discussions. Facel Vega did however export the Excellence to North America for private owners. Like its other cars, Facel Vega chose to power the car using Chrysler's famed big-block V8 Hemi. Built in limited quantities, the car included numerous styling hallmarks usually found on American cars including tailfins, wraparound windshield, stacked quad-headlights and a four-door hardtop design. In a nod to the Cadillac Eldorado Brougham, Facel Vega incorporated a pillarless four-door mechanism, allowing the car to be designed with "suicide" styled rear doors for easier access and egress. Before Facel Vega closed, the Excellence received its only major restyling in which the car replaced its outdated fins and received a more squared off rear styling. ---------- I can see a Packard nameplate with that and it wouldn't have looked out of place with the up market but quirky Avanti that rolled in in 1962

I liked the headlight pods on the Imperial.

Is THAT why I like the Jaguar E-type so much!?

many kitties prefer moving water. they have water dishes with little fountains in them for such a kitteh

I suggest "The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth" by Thomas Jefferson.

Are you freaking kidding me? When you drive your Aurora, it has a TOOL kit too. I think I'm done with this site for a while, this stupidity is getting too much.

I know what he meant. But why are people complaining that Cadillac skips the bread and butter V8 and just throws the hot V8 in there instead? Again, CTS-V is $2,500 less than a 550i..... and you're complaining?!

And you've yet to answer me. What is the CTS missing besides the BMW rondel?

I don't understand you people! The CTS is nearly identical in size to the 5-series yet it needs to grow in order to compete with it? It comes with 2-flavors of V6 and 1 flavor of V8, yet it needs more cylinders? Just further proof that GM could build a fully working model of Christ himself and you'd STILL complain that the water to wine function only dispenses merlot!

What features is the CTS missing? I mean, if adding a rear power sunshade would suddenly get people to trade in their bimmers, I'm sure Cadillac would offer it.

What is weird about the CTS's size? You don't get much closer than this. In no dimension is the CTS more than 1/2 inch different from the 5er. The CTS's V8 option is $2,500 less than the 5ers. There may be some debate on performance between an M5 and a CTS-V but the 550i would be left staring at fast receding vertical tail lamps. Don't fault Cadillac for covering both the 550i and the M5 with one engine instead of two. Length CTS 191.6 5er 191.1 E-class 192.3 Wheelbase CTS 113.4 5er 113.7 E-class 112.4 Width CTS 72.50 5er 72.70 E-class 71.70

and I want a pony.

Maybe as an optional engine, but the turbo 1.4 should do fine.

To SMK, DOHC is the second rising of Christ.

A 4-cylinder with 30 more HP and 10 ft/lbs of torque more than a 1996 Impala SS V8. Gotta love progress.

Toyota doesn't lay people off because Toyota uses contractors for a large portion of their workforce. It doesn't count as laying off when you get the call "Don't come in tomorrow" and you're a contractor.

Typical GM bashing.....30mpg in an equinox.... but DI didn't do much. ya think? You mean like back in 1989 with the DOHC 3.4, or the DOHC 3.5 from Olds, or the Quad-4, or the 3.6HF? And everyone DOES NOT have DOHC across the board. There is still a bunch of SOHC engines out there. Inadequate like say... the 166hp/161ft/lbs@4200rpm that the CRV uses to motivate 3500lbs around town? Say what you will about the base V6 in the current 'Nox but 210 ft/lbs at 3800 RPM is a big advantage over what the CRV offers. Even with the 'Nox going to this new 4-cylinder, it will still have more power than the CRV.
