Default 2010 Cadillac SRX

Cadillac provided a special sneak preview of the next-generation Cadillac SRX Crossover, a 2010 model that will launch worldwide in the fall of 2009.The all-new Cadillac SRX is intended to bring a more dynamic alternative to the heart of the luxury crossover segment, featuring a fresh iteration of Cadillac's signature design language.

"The next-generation Cadillac SRX is the result of the continued exploration and refining of Cadillac design language, with the goal of creating dramatic presence in the luxury crossover space," says Clay Dean, Cadillac design director.

Details of the all-new Cadillac SRX will be released later. The 2010 model will replace the current Cadillac SRX Crossover, which launched in 2004 as a key component of Cadillac's ongoing product renaissance and global expansion. This next-generation crossover is similar in styling and proportion to Cadillac Provoq Concept that appeared in many auto shows during 2008.

The all-new production model is being developed to achieve excellent driving dynamics and wet-weather traction, with an elegantly modern cabin designed to accommodate five passengers and ample cargo.

"The next-generation Cadillac SRX, along with the new Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon, showcases Cadillac taking its dramatic design into new directions, particularly cars and crossovers that are the right size at the right time for today's luxury consumers," said Jim Taylor, Cadillac general manager.

I hope Cadillac will take the time to get the MPGs up to 16. I know actually tuning those engines takes a lot of time and effort though... and then that whole weight reduction thing? I mean, come on, who wants to fuss with all that, right?

Looks interesting, none the less.

An improvement over the current model, but the front overhang is HUGE and those side vents are getting crazy

I have an 07. So far, I'll need to see the new one in person. I'm not loving it. We'll need at least a 6 seater for the next vehicle, so this one won't be an option, but we like the 07.

Edgy, maybe too much so. I wish they'd have curved it a bit more like they did with the CTS. The CTS, to my eye, has one of the best skins of any sub-$50K sedan on the market.
