The new and upcoming BRX was caught showing off a somewhat translucent bra:

You underestimate the purchasing power of soccer moms.75,000 annual production of the BRX/CTX??
I don't know, but that sounds overly ambitious.
the RX is Lexus' best selling model, it wouldn't shock me one bit for this to become Cadillac's, or a close second to the CTS.75,000 annual production of the BRX/CTX??
I don't know, but that sounds overly ambitious.
Maybe Cadillac is onto something. Maybe not everyone needs a 7 passenger SUV, and maybe GM has 4 other 7 passenger crossover SUVs - how many 7 passenger SUVs does Toyota / Lexus / Scion have? And how many of those have usable space behind the 3rd row - the hallmark of a useful 7 passenger SUV.Judging by the roofline it looks as though it will only seat 5 which concerns considering the fact the next gen RX will be larger than the current model and will possibly seat 7. I hope this car will not be dead on arrival.
Crossovers are the fastest-growing segment of the market, smart guy.Yes Another SUV. That is just what we need. Give us more SUV's and then do not be supprised when you start losing market share.
Doesn't seem ambitious to me.. How many RXes does Lexus sell?75,000 annual production of the BRX/CTX??

IMO in order for Cadillac to remain competitive in all of the luxury categories it needs to have a 7 seat passenger vehicle and by that I dont mean that big @... overweight gussied up Tahoe. Something smaller would be just as substantial and would still give the brand an edge on the competition even if it was just optional like with the RAV 4. I think if they would've updated the SRX and designed it with less wagonlike features rather than allowing it to whither and rot on the vine it could have been more competitive. Don't kill a product because it's a slow seller perfect it by making improvements.Maybe Cadillac is onto something.

Some people just want a 5 passenger car with a high seating position.
Mgescuro - 75K sounds like a reasonable target if its CTS grade design. If it follows in the footsteps of the BLS - I'd be concerned as well.
It's not the BRX/CTX...it's meant to chase the RDX, x3, EX37 and other 5 seaters, not the 7 seaters.IMO in order for Cadillac to remain competitive in all of the luxury categories it needs to have a 7 passenger vehicle and by that I dont mean that big @... overweight gussied up Tahoe.

I thought the meaning of Cadillac's whole 'arts and science' design campaign was to decrease the average age of it's buyers not sustain it.
What if it got the same gas mileage as the hybrid version of the segment leader?Yes Another SUV. That is just what we need. Give us more SUV's and then do not be supprised when you start losing market share.
Or a GMC Yukon XL Denali!looks good. want a 7 seater, buy an Escalade (ESV) otherwise you get the appropriate size/price vehicle a la BRX.

Want to be 'cheap' and get a 7 seater, you don't deserve a Cadillac, so get a Buick Enclave!
