I have designed a Cadillac Minivan. Th reason I'm posting this is to see peoples inputs and what they might do to make it look better. I'm all ears please put what you think about it. Thanks.

It looks like a small Escalade! Isn't the SRX sort of the "Cadillac Mini van"?

The SRX is a 'crossover' which makes it half - minivan. IMO a true minivan has a lower, car-like floor, and usually more room than a cross-over.

Despite the fact that minivans are hugely practical, they are a declining market segment in North America. Car makers are pushing the cross-over because their vaguely sporty rugged image seems to have more appeal than a plebian minivan. This appeal translates to more sales and a higher per-vehicle profit margin.

Personally, I wanted a Caddy minivan or wagon a few years ago..... before the Escalades became affordable on the used market. But my wife refused to let me buy a hearse. :(

Well, you're in luck since the CTS Wagon is available this Summer!

Interesting variant. Conventional thinking would say the wagon market, especially the high-end wagon is dead in North America.

I see the odd BMW and Mercedes wagon around here.... even a late model Jaguar wagon across the street..... but none in any significant numbers.

Well, heres hoping they can start a trend and get some overseas sales, too
