    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".

    • What I was really going to say: If you celebrate it, Happy Easter. If not, enjoy the weekend.
    • I was referring more to the demographics.  I was driving around the Stone Mountain suburb of Atlanta, which a few people have tried to push toward a comeback, given that it has a little bohemian village at its center, and it hasn't worked.  Some of the junior sized McMansions look nice, but there are metal doors over the front doors.  Some of them also look neglected and they're not that old.  It might have been redneck at some point, hence the gun toting, but this is clearly a majority African-American neighborhood at this point and has been for a while.
    • Sorry to hear about your car @smk4565. I know it was special for you. That really sucks. They are fine on paper as long as you drive like a grandma, or not in NJ.
    • Yep, this is one of those things where the theoretical and mathematical equations just aren't equaling in the real world. On paper the 2.0T should be just fine and I'm sure the engineers have all ran specific tests and numbers saying this is the perfect configuration for their application(s) however, it just doesn't work out in the real world.
    • I agree that it does have far more space inside than a GLS, Escalade or any other full size SUV. Still feel that the Minivan scene would take off more if they were styled like an SUV and had AWD. I see now more of the Kia Minivan around the Seattle area than Chrysler, Toyota, or Honda and people I talk with love the style plus all the room inside. As @Drew Dowdell pointed out, I do hear that others wish the stow and go seats would be incorporated into other makes. I have to figure there is a patent issue or some legal issue as to why Honda, Toyota, Kia have not done it yet.
