    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".

    • When people talk about electric vehicles and how they might fare for others, the other person's context needs to come into view. Last summer, I was driving through a beachside town on the Adriatic coast in Central Italy.  I couldn't believe what I was seeing, so I had to pull over and take a photo  This is evidently an electrified Fiat.  I don't know what this person's parking situation is, but it looks like they've got it parked on a narrow apron, are blocking the sidewalk, and the electricity is being borrowed from somewhere inside the house through a long cord. Unless a person in Italy has a detached home that has a garage or is in a condo tower that has garages at its base, they may not have a real tidy solution for electrifying the car while it's parked and they aren't doing something else or are sleeping.  A person could be in the exact same situation in the United States and Canada.   If you've got an EV and have a garage or carport, you can charge it as needed nightly if there are outlets available.  A friend of mine who lives in a Southern California suburb and has an 1,800 square foot house with a two car garage has 2 Teslas being charged while parked in the garage.  The same could be true in a personal garage somewhere in Europe.  But without the garage situation established and a vehicle yet to be decided on ... and if it looks anything like the above photo ... I don't expect to be buying an electric car this next time. 
    • I couldn't believe this.  Why was the truck even moving into an active runway or taxiway?  This is very sad and they gave some background on the two pilots who lost their lives, both of whom were fairly young and had their lives ahead of them.
    • Crazy pricing $49,879 - $17,000 costco discount = $32,879
    • This never made sense in the first place.  Honda scrapping all their EV plans will probably come back to haunt them in 5-10 years when the Chinese take their market share.
