2010 Cadillac SRX

2010 cadillac SRX design review

​            Now when GM does anything you always know they are going to do it in three.  Take last years release of the Saturn Relay, Buick Enclave and the GMC Acadia.  All built on the same platform, but all had different designs.  For this year they decided to bombard us with the new Equinox, GMC Terrain and this new comer the 2010 Cadillac SRX.  

       Well, we know that the SRX is not a new comer, but it is new when you see where it came from.  When your born as an oversized wagon, its hard not to notice when you shed some pounds and become a mid-size CUV.  Now when it comes to the new style of the SRX, I think Cadillac finally got it right.  Sure, it’s no baby Escalade, but it sure is more than a CTS wagon now.  
​

      Some things which the SRX could have left with the CTS are the lower air ducts on the front spoiler.  The rear taillights which stick out from the rear of the vehicle.  And that odd looking side air duct, sure it’s a nice feature, but it does seem a bit off.  Maybe they should have toned down the chrome and raised up the front.  Another poor feature is that the SRX does us a lot of plastic.  You’re a Cadillac, you shouldn’t have to use plastic to hide anything.
