Re: Cadillac SRX as good as Q5?
Personally, I'd rather see Cadillac build a RWD SRX and compete with the BMW X5 rather than the Lexus RX350. However, I have a feeling this Crossover is going to sell A LOT. But keep in mind that without the option of leasing, they're going to lose a TON of sales. When comparing how this new SRX sells against the old one, we should only compare the outgoing model's financed vehicles and not those that were leased.
I personally believe that MOST people don't care which wheels power their vehicle. Far, far more than those of us who do. So I think the SRX is going to do well. Just like the Deville/DTS has for decades. The people who buy DeVille's never cared about handling and all-out performance. They were happy that when they hit the gas, it moved with authority. They didn't carve corners and ride up and down on/off ramps at 60mph.
I'm just not sure that THIS particular Crossover needs to be a RWD high performance vehicle. I think it's going to do what it needs to do very well - and people are going to like it for what it is..
