It may sound just a tad unbelievable and it's most certainly surprising, but the best thing about Cadillac's new SRX is its interior styling.
Long a weakness of even the latest generation of "new-and-improved" Caddys, the SRX's cabin vaults it into a leadership position -- at least in this regard -- where the previous version was the worst the upscale crossover segment had to offer.
For instance, the gauge set -- long a feature Cadillac seemed to dismiss as insignificant -- now stands out as a truly original design. Not only do the gauges feature trendy black numerals on a bright white background, but the centre of the speedometer is occupied by a little, round, full-colour thin-film-transfer display that shows all manner of vehicle/engine/trip functions in a bright and cheery manner. It even displays a short video rendition of Cadillac's new emblem upon startup.

Off my radar, I don’t buy GM (government motors).
Wise move. The previous SRX’s had the worst reliability of about any American made car according to Consumer Reports.
New emblem? Yup a sting of voodoo chicken bones.
New horn? No horn now! Stylish goat bells adorn the NoDorado so as to not offend the Islamic purchasers.
Whatever it was .... it aint american no more!
Easy now, I’ve got one and love it.

Notably absent from the Pittsburgh-Tennessee NFL game last night was advertising for GM - or any other American brand - cars and/or trucks....
Sure didn’t feel like NFL without the ubiquitous “Built Chevy Tough” commercials....
Looks like a re-badging of that Pontiac Aztek bomb...
I’ll pass on it...
They switched from the CTS to the Chevy Equinox platform and ditched the V8.
I like the original design with the Two moon-roofs.
BTW Do you know why they dumped the rear moon roof? One of the first Vehicle Validation Builds (Non-Saleable) was taken to a car wash by a GM exec and he left the rear moon roof open. True story.
I worked on that project for 3 years. Sad to see it degraded.
Bump for later.
Yep. That has Aztec DNA. Fugly.
This is a shame pulling us down to his less than third world standard the positive thing is each and every Zerolac is blessed with chicken blood.
I refuse to buy any union made vehicle.
Looks like a dam garbage truck the designer must have an office overlooking the rear lot there.
