Re: Cadillac Minivan....

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

Re: Cadillac Minivan....

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!

Re: Cadillac Minivan....

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

Re: Cadillac Minivan....

Why, that's a very clever conception! Keep that design! I could be wrong, but I don't think Cadillac would release any of its minivan models, but good point though. Keep up the good work, friend.
