I think what you are trying to say is you won't give up your SRX for a BRX

No need for the bigger Sigma SRX since Escalade will be going to Lambda or Zeta.

Zeta would be perfect for an Escalade and Escalade EXT

That's a fine point.

They should have stuck with the BRX name rather than using SRX where it really doesn't fit (IMO).

Don't get me going again on how Cadillac's naming structure has blown up to basically mean nothing, when it the 3 letters were supposed to stand for something. (SRX = S-Series, R-Reconfigurable, X-Crossover)

The CTS coupe should be a CTC (C-Series T-Touring C-Coupe) and the wagona CTW, but it seems pretty clear they will all wear the CTS badge.

I believe SRX stood for Seville Recreational X-over...
CTS = Catera Touring Sedan
STS = Seville Touring Sedan
DTS = Deville Touring Sedan

I am not feeling the new SRX at all ... pretty much with Darth on this one, even if it's not on the VUE platform they could have done a lot more on the outside to make it look less like VUE-premium. IMO the new Equinox kills the SRX on styling.

We have really enjoyed our 07 SRX. I'm not sure about the new one. The new one being so similar to the Vue doesn't help it though even if it isn't based on the same chassis. The new escalade might be a good option if they keep the cadillac emlbems a resonable size.
