    SPIED: Cadillac SRX

    The last time we saw spy photos of the 2013 Cadillac SRX, it was covered in camouflage and there was talk of a plug-in hybrid version.

    Fast forward to today and new spy shots show the 2013 SRX with no camouflage and no plug-in hybrid.

    Our spy shots show the SRX getting a modest update, with the front end getting a new grill and fascia.

    The SRX will also sport a new interior, with a capacitive-touch center stack, much like the one on the new XTS.

    And if you're wonder what happened to the plug-in hybrid SRX, that has been shelved.

    No need for a hybrid at the prices an SRX or a Lexus RX are selling for these days. A hybrid would be a poor value. Besides, that is what the Chevy Volt is for, even though it is an E-REV not a hybrid.

    The new grille visually lightens up the sheer heft of the front end on this vehicle, which always seemed ready to tip up on its nose to me. Slimmer headlights would have been a nice change, as well imo, which would work to change the proportion of the front view from "high and narrow" to "lower and wider".

    • The market for all coupes is stale. But this has outsold the Miata some months 
    • So as I mentioned in my Has it really been 25 years? post, I have an app I've been building.  It's called Apartmatic.  It is occupant first property management software.  What does that mean? Most property management software is geared to landlords and property managers that manage several to many units.  This software can do that of course, but what it also does is lets occupants manage their home maintenance, warranties for things they've purchased, keep receipts and other important documentation, keep track of repairs, and more.  You can scan the serial number barcode of your fridge into the software and it will look up the make and model for you AND look up parts like water filters, seals, shelves, handles and more.  It will give you the default manufacturer's recommended service interval for maintenance parts like filters, cleanouts, and more.  It will remind you when it's time to order parts and send you links to shopping sites that have them in stock.   You can use it to maintain ANYTHING in your home.  Have a slate roof? Those need service every so many years. Enter your favorite roofer's information in and it will give you a reminder and ask when you want to send the e-mail to schedule the service.  You can enter all your service vendors in.  Same goes for insurance. Track your insurance plans, extended warranties, keep an inventory of major purchases, have scans of the receipts, all stored in the app in case something happens. If you're a property manager, even more things become automatic. It can use prediction to warn you of when an appliance is nearing end of life.  It can automatically route issues to preferred vendors.  You can put jobs out to multiple vendors for bid and so much more. There is an entire listing to leasing to move-in workflow. Full payment and financial system, tax reporting, P&L reporting, unit turnover automation, and more. I've been building this thing from scratch, out of spite and frustration. No investors, just me being stubborn. If you want to help me out, sign up for the beta at https://www.apartmatic.com/beta and I'll send you the invite link as soon as it's open. It's free and always will be at the Home level. I don't need "looks great!", I need "this is confusing" and "why can't I do X" and "I clicked this and it broke."
    • Awesome change coming, so excited for C&G!!! Thank you Drew  
    • They over priced these, and the market seems pretty stale on the Z now.
