(wow in chevy aveo sense)

 

those kinds of graphs are slightly misleading though. some cars have serious problems while others have minor electronic defects.

 

I think its an improvement over the previous model and has a somewhat more "aggressive" stance. The front is large dimensionally compared to the rest of the vehicle.

My thought is that with the escalade front end it may lead some buyers away from that behemuth and downward towards this model.

 

I just cant go beyond the interior... look at those door panels, especially under the wood....



Or gaps in interior?

I cant get over that interior, despite leather on the dash... and 500lbs of weight over RX350 AWD makes no sense... You are just killing everything if you vehicle is overweight.

 

^^^ I am sure its pre-production so I will wait until we see pics from owners.

 

cts on steroids.

 

I don't know. I like these latest designs from GM. I think they're finally starting to get better. I might consider buying one in the future. The Caddy CTS-V coupe would be nice if it had good handling.



Looks better than Lexus IS250C. That was is plain ugly.

 

spwolf... those gaps are intentional... they aren't gaps in the traditional sense where there's literally an empty space between two panels... if you were to run your finger along there or look in better lighting, there is no gap at all... Caddy just wanted to add some style and dimension to the interior.

The only exception is the gap where the glove box is, but that might look like that due to the flash and the angle... might not look so bad normally. Not to mention a lot of cars have a fairly decent sized gap here.

 

The SRX according to the article posted in this thread is 4300 for FWD and 4450 for AWD.

According to Edmund's article on the 2010 RX350:
"The front-wheel-drive RX 350 now weighs in at 4,340 pounds, a gain of 470 pounds. The all-wheel-drive RX 350 weighs 4,510 pounds, a gain of 420 pounds."

So now the RX is actually 40 to 60 pounds heavier than the SRX.

Are you going to criticize Lexus or is it OK when their vehicles are overweight?

 

These vehicles are all to heavy. And CUVs arent even that efficient compared to the ground they are supposed to cover for the Explorer, 4Runner, etc.

 

Eh, another cadillac with the same front & rear as all their other cars....looks ugly too me. Why doesn't cadillac have different looks for their different products, I'm sick of seeing the same design tweaked a little for every application. The Cadillac Vue.....and all that "crome" in the interior is very annoying, makes the interior look cheap.

 

spwolf... any follow up comment on the thread?

 

looked good in the pics but after seeing it in motion I'd say it's a massive improvement over the previous SRX but still ugly. Interior is mostly CTS, which is nice but nothing new.

Regardless, Toyota/Lexus is going to have to step up their game as GM is becoming a much more serious competitor than before.
