Cadillac SRX Turbo Premium
Cadillac’s SRX is one of the few crossovers out there with some styling flair, and it mixes in a healthy dose of luxury ride and interior comfort.
This model was the top-level Turbo Premium, which starts at $51,360. After adding a pricey rear entertainment system, it hit $53,480.
Railroad tracks and highway pavement seams are no more a bother than a cooked pea beneath your shoe.
Handling is good with fairly precise feedback to the wheel coupled with a heavy steering feel. Push the Cadillac SRX and it sticks well in a corner with no, or only minor, body roll.
Power is decent. Under normal acceleration, the 2.8-liter V6 provides ample power, but this model tacks on a turbocharger to boost your horsepower to 300 and torque to 295 ft.-lbs.

2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe
2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe
While most Cadillac vehicles still have a way to go to satisfy as drivers’ machines, the second-generation CTS has appeared on our last three 10Best lists; in awarding its 2010 trophy, we called it “maybe the best American car ever made.” For 2011, the new Cadillac CTS coupe joins the sedan and wagon, adding more style and a higher concentration of performance to the CTS’s winning formula.
StunningExterior Styling, Largely Familiar Cockpit
The Cadillac CTS coupe is one of those cars that loves the camera, and it’s no less stunning in the flesh. Walking around the car, one notices several aspects of the design easily missed in photographs, such as the parallel “light-catcher” lines helping to break up the tall body sides, the tastefully glitzy twin center-mounted tailpipes, the remarkably seamless-looking joint between the body-side stamping and the roof, and the center spine that travels all the way back over the car’s huge rump.
Inside, most CTS sedan components are imported without change, although the mood is intensified due to a lower mounting point for the seats, dropping occupants roughly an inch lower into the dash/console architecture.

Cadillac trumpets success of SRX crossover
The Cadillac SRX’s sales rose 654% in May compared with the same month a year, Autodata figures show. In the first five months of the year, Cadillac says SRX outsold Mercedes-Benz M-Class, BMW X5, Audi Q7 and Acura MDX. The average transaction price for the new SRX is more than $2,300 higher than the previous model.
“Cadillac has done all the right things to support higher residual values for the SRX,” said Matt Traylen, ALG’s chief economist.

2010 Cadillac CTS-V
2010 Cadillac CTS-V
From the safety of my desk back in Oregon, a German-English dictionary offers a parade of possible English meanings for this word, that 556 horsepower has left ringing in my ears.
It’s also the sound that 6.2 liters of supercharged V8 make when they get just out of earshot of their rightful owner.
This particular “V” belongs to one of Cadillac’s PR guys, who, having heard that I’d never set ass in the infamous sedan, handed me a key fob. No “be careful” preceded this unexpected gift, no waivers were signed, no next-of-kin informed.
But whatever confidence I’d gained by psyching myself up, soon melted in the evil presence of this brute. Walk up, and the smell of vaporized rubber tickles the nose and jangles the nerves, like the smell of blood on the breath of a large predator. And after two days of riding and driving in Cadillac’s standard seats, the V grabs your body in the crushing embrace of something living and powerful.

Cadillac CTS-V high performance
The first-generation Cadillac SRX was essentially a tall CTS with a wagon body, and we loved it as such, awarding it three consecutive 5Best Trucks honors and voting it into second place in a comparison test four years into its life, ahead of such newer competitors as a Land Rover LR3 and a BMW X5.
Now that there actually is a Cadillac CTS wagon-a delightful one, we might add-the 2010 Cadillac SRX shares much of its bones with the decidedly less exciting Chevrolet Equinox.
