I agree, I think the sharp edge styling works really well on the Escalade and EXT and the XLR, but everything else just seems to be an afterthought and a bunch of sharp lines.

I saw a smoke grey FX45 yesterday and it looked SOOOOOO good. I was drooling like a dog.

WTF are you smoking? The pig-faced FX is starting to grow on me, but I think the SRX looks much better - best application of the Art & Science theme yet. Plus that sunroof is sweeeet.

I'm not smoking anything:p The FX45 is awesome and unique. The SRX looks like a fugly CTS that got r@ped in the ass by an Escalade

Both the Murano and FX are true works of art.
I'm seeing a lot more of them on the road now, esp. the Murano.

The headlights and the grill didn't do it for me on the Murano's it doesn't seem to go with the car at all

The FX on the other had looks like a Sexy B1tch YEAH~!

HAHA, we'll wait for the $2500 'dealer incentive' package next year...

Actually, my dad just test drove the FX35 this weekend...I need to find out what he thought of it!

What an excellent comparison. Basically the SRX looks like 2 other vehicles that look like each other... well no sh*t. The entire Cadillac lineup has similar design cues - cues that are a breath of fresh air compared to the "me-too style" that plagues most SUVs.

When I see an FX driving down the street, I'm not sure if I should puke or try to feed it slurry in a troph.

The Murano, however, I like.

Well, his point is when you mate 2 existing ugly vehicles, it results in an even uglier one :p

LMAO! Yup :D

The CTS is downright ugly. The Escalade is even worse. Put them together and you have an ugly baby :p

Sharp lines work well on the Escalade? Look at the bulbous Tahoe BEHIND the hood and try to tell me it matches the sharp lines in the front.

I think it looks better than either the CTS or the Escalade, myself. The angular design works a little better on this type of vehicle.

Hell, I think it looks better than the RX330. I just can't get over the Lexus' rear styling. :disgust:

I've seen the RX330 in person, sat in it, etc.. It's ugly. Its a good suv, but its still ugly. And while the interior design is nice, they really mashed the different tones together. It looks garish with the silver, wood, and plastic all together...ewww.

I think for the SRX, if its a competent vehicle it will do well. I mean we are just discussing the styling, not its actual drivability. If Caddillac pulls it off, it could be a really hot vehicle in its segment.

Stupid cops in NJ pulled me over when I had clear tails on my car :|

I wouldn't say the RX300/330 are ugly cars. Nor are they good looking.
They're an OK in my book.

Agreed. I'm definitely curious to see where the driving dynamics fall on the luxury vs. sport spectrum.

Well, if the CTS is any indication, the SRX will do quite well. Too bad they both look like ass

I was pissed to see a Caddy in The Matrix: Reloaded, what a poor choice.
