This has been rumored for a while now. Maybe this and the new CTS will debut with fresher Cadillac interiors.

Re: New Caddy Crossover? (BRX)

So when do the Nox and the Torrent get revised trannies and engines...if the BRX gets it, those two should at least get a tranny upgrade...the RAV4 has 269hp...and our 2 get 185?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Thats why people buy Toyohondassanundai's ...GM gives to Caddy what the full lineups should get...and Caddy gets "todays standard" not above and beyond it, like they should. I can't wait for GM to get in gear and get out of this titanic collision they are in.

The Nox/Torrent Problem is not the Transmission it's the pile of crap that is the 3400. These cars should have the 3.5 VVT as a base (215 HP), and the 3.9 VVT as an option (240 HP).

GM already tested the 3.9 VVT in them and for some reason they decided not to use them and supposley the '07 Torrent GXP and Nox SS will get a HF V6 from the Suzuki-GM deal. (3.6?? and a 6 speed tranny also, which I think would be a better choice)

Still the 3400, like the 3800 and the 4 Speed Transmission need to be killed with all due haste.

No... Not even "fresher."
Cadillac needs interiors that LOOK and FEEL and ARE deserving of a luxury car.

No more cheapie impala switchgear. No more generic rubber footrests or rubber pedals on the V-series.

I'm simply amazed an appalled that higher end or at least higher-end looking materials and parts appear in cars like Enclave and Ion Redline... yet Cadillac interiors have been left to rot.

Pick up the pace GM!!!

Yea, I agree with you there. Also, Cadillac needs interiors that look deserving of $50,000.
