You mean it isn't the cashmere headliner, power rear sunshade, and power trunk pull down? Wow!

To steal from Satty... or Reg... or whoever said it. "Yes, it's a shame that Cadillac is pandering to the people with money who buy these vehicles"

I didn't make a statement on the "looks". There was nothing wrong with the materials from a quality standpoint. They don't photograph well. That was about it. Again, it didn't look any more wagon than the competition.

GM has the new Lacrosse to address the ES350. Even if the SRX sells only three quarters of the RX, it'll do better than everything else in the market.

would you be my mommy?

I had the original CTS and there isn't anything wrong with the interior as far as materials. I never got the "it looks like a wagon" thing. It didn't look like a wagon any more than a CRV or RX does.

Well, the previous award winning one didn't sell.... so I don't blame GM for giving up on that formula.

The RX does just fine thanks. GM/Cadillac needs to concentrate on getting the most bang for their development dollar right now. This new SRX achieves that. I wonder if there would as much venom here if the name were BRX instead of SRX.

Your bloody beloved Jaguar XF shares the same basic platform with the Mustang..... will that make you stop jerking off over it? I doubt it.

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?
