Cadillac slims down size, pricetag on SRX crossover

[Bruce Nunnally]

Cadillac has reinvented its SRX crossover for the 2010 model year by scaling back its size, a move contrary to the many vehicles today that keep gaining in size.

That means better fuel economy as the new rig gives up its predecessor's third row and about 5 inches on length. It also means a huge drop in base price from nearly 41 grand to $34,155 - at least for the base model.

Cadillac says it is repositioning SRX to target "the heart of the luxury crossover segment."

Bottom line: Handsome crossover, smaller and more fuel efficient for 2010, but lacking in power with the base engine
