Cadillac SRX 2011



With the first-generation Cadillac SRX struggling to make gains in the luxury crossover segment since its debut in 2004, General Motors decided to give the 2010 Cadillac SRX a complete makeover right down to the very layout of the vehicle. Sharp, well-proportioned body work rides on a new platform, leading the new SRX to share very little with its previous incarnation.The first-gen SRX's rear-drive layout was ditched for a more compact, crossover style front-drive setup with available all-wheel drive. Now 4.8-inches shorter in length, this transformation dropped cargo space by 8.3 cubic-feet and eliminated the third row seats as well as significant amounts of rear-seat legroom. 

The V-8 engine option is also gone, replaced by two V-6 engines, one of them turbocharged for higher performance.Despite its smaller size, the 2011 SRX sheds only a token amount of weight. That weight is a liability for the smaller V-6 powertrains as well as in the handling department, making the SRX feel slower than it really is. Though stylish, the new vehicle still lags slightly behind the competition in quality and fit and finish. Despite this, it resides on the pricier end of the segment especially as options are added.

The 2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe is powered by a 3.6L direct-injected V6 engine making 304-hp and 273 lb-ft of torque. Buyers can opt for a 6-speed manual transmission or a Hydra-Matic 6L50 6-speed automatic transmission with Driver Shift Control. A 556-hp CTS-V Coupe will join the lineup in the later part of 2010.

The CTS Coupe will share engine choices with the current Cadillac CTS sedan. Both vehicles use a 304 horsepower (227 kW) 3.6-liter V6 (the base 3.0-liter V6 won’t be offered in the Coupe – at least initially), and are available with either rear- or all-wheel drive.

For all you two-door addicts that have longed for a CTS but couldn’t handle the family-friendly nature of the sedan, feast your eyes on the 2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe ($TBA). Coming standard with a 3.6L V-6 and six-speed manual transmission — a six-speed automatic with Driver Shift Control is an option — this stylish Caddy also offers either 18- or 19-inch rims, integrated iPod connectivity, a pop-up navigation system, Bluetooth, remote start, a rear camera system, a 5.1-channel Bose audio system, LED vertical lighting, touch-pad operated doors, and a RWD powertrain. If that isn’t enough to entice you, simply wait til later in 2010, when the beastly 556hp V-Series arrives.
