2012 Cadillac SRX.

While standing in front of the newly updated 2012 Cadillac SRX, a fellow journalist asked Cadillac Communications Manager David Caldwell why the crossover wasn't based on a rear-wheel-drive chassis. The answer? "We already tried that," said Caldwell.
And then came a new Cadillac SRX in 2010, and through the bespeckled eyes of auto journalists, everything seems backwards. A transversely mounted V6 engine displacing 3.0 liters sent 265 horses to the front wheels in its base configuration, and while all-wheel drive was still optional, the Theta Premium chassis was never intended for tail-wagging antics. There was an available 2.8-liter turbocharged V6, but it didn't make up for the missing V8, and it was canceled due to slow sales after a single year on the market.
Great wails were heard from Detroit to Los Angeles, but it wasn't the sound of exasperation some expected. Instead, we heard the unmistakable beat of high-fives at GM's Renaissance Center headquarters; the cymbals of cash registers ringing in Cadillac dealerships all over the country. In one fell swoop, the Cadillac of Crossovers vaulted itself from a languishing ninth spot in the luxury crossover segment all the way up to second. And as much as Cadillac would love to wrangle the gold medal from the Lexus RX, a solid silver signals a job well done.
It comes as little surprise, then, that Cadillac chose not to alter the formula much when it refreshed the SRX for the 2012 model year. To the casual observer, a 2012 model parked next to its predecessor doesn't impart any of the major changes found under the highly creased sheetmetal. So let's dig deeper.
Few brands command the kind of respect Cadillac does. There’s more than one reason, certainly, but part of it has to do with responsibility. Cadillac goes through an involved process every go-round to design and develop rides that are not only classy and luxurious, but contemporarily stylish as well. That means it is incumbent upon the driver to make sure that he/she is not settling when it comes to making modifications. Only the hottest fashion in the best quality is what will do the job. Are we seeing a pattern here? For your Cadillac Spoiler, you can only depend on the finest options available. Otherwise, you’re just cheating you and your vehicle out of what it really deserves. That’s no way to treat a Caddy. At CARiD.com, we’ll help you make sure your vehicle rolls on with classy superiority!

2012 Cadillac SRX

Cadillac has just announced a new, more powerful version of its 2012 Cadillac SRX mid-size crossover SUV, which now benefits vigor 3.6-liters direct-injected V6 engine with 300 horsepower.
Offering even faster acceleration that the current 3.0-liters V6 powered SRX, the new, 2012 Cadillac SRX is expected to hit the automaker’s dealerships this summer.
Don Butler, vice president of Cadillac marketing, shares: “SRX is resonating with luxury buyers by offering the function of a crossover and the distinctive style of a Cadillac. Now, we’re raising the standards even higher by providing the SRX with enhanced performance. The new engine will make the SRX more responsive for passing on the highway, entering freeways from on-ramps and climbing hills.”
Besides its more horses, the new 3.6-liters direct-injected V6 plant also boasts FlexFuel capability and wider rpm range for its maximum torque, which gives the driver more power across a wider range of speeds and driving conditions.
Further highlights on the 2012 model year Cadillac SRX luxury SUV include standard Bluetooth phone connectivity, a heated steering wheel on the luxury, performance and premium trim levels and door lock switches on the driver and passenger door panels. Additionally, a new machined finish on the huge 20-inch rims set comes standard on the performance and premium trim levels.

Cadillac Escalade ESV

At close to 19 feet long, the Cadillac Escalade ESV is one of the longest normal passenger vehicles you can buy. It's a couple of inches longer than the longer 'L' version of the Lincoln Town Car, and only about a foot shorter than the extended version of Ford's Econoline vans often used for airport shuttling. What makes it even more intimidating is that, from ground to rooftop, it's a couple of feet taller than the typical car, or a foot taller than many crossovers.
Excess and extroversion
And with its burbling, booming 403-horsepower, 6.2-liter V-8 engine and ever-present exhaust note, any impression the Escalade leaves is one of excess and extroversion; it's not the kind of vehicle old-money types will be driving, or seen in. And with its delicate, flashy trim and big chrome wheels, it's not the kind of vehicle that you'd take off-road, either.
When it comes to luxury, perhaps no other American brand represents the concept better than Cadillac. Cadillac drivers are a proud bunch, and with today's automotive climate constantly evolving, they too desire the kind of custom refinements that elevate their vehicle's overall perception.
