Does anybody complain that the Toyota Camry and Lexus ES have shared a platform for 5 generations now? The Honda Accord and Acura TSX are platform twins, too.
If the Buick version has distinct sheet metal and styling, and Cadillac maintains some unique features, I see no need for concern.

Many simply don't see that the consumer could care less. Just like dating, Looks normally when out in the beginning, then you fall in love with the insides.
The SRX is gorgeous, and if this Buick looks anything like the Enclave it will be as well. A test drive, badge, and a look at the price tag of either will make the decision for 90% of the buyers.
Anyone hating on this creation, but is tolerant of the Audi configurations is a hypocrite. It seems that many of those Audi advocates dismiss the fact that their mass sells have FWD/AWD layouts. The A4, A6, and even sport TT are examples.
