A review of the 2010 Cadillac CTS sedan has been posted over at SearchChicago. 'The 2010 CTS rolls into summer with crisp exterior lines that still polarize, but stylists have sharpened the creases and given the CTS family a taut, sheet-metal-stretched-over-steel look. The new coupe will be the ultimate expression of CTS style. Sedan improvements continue on the inside where a busy instrument panel with inexpensive-looking materials has been replaced with an attractive dual-position dash that gives both front passengers a cockpit feeling. Cadillac uses a pleasing mix of wood and alloy accents to create a stylish design and better build quality. I liked the center stack and instrument cluster; the soft ambient lighting in the dash and foot wells give the interior a warm, luxurious feel.'

A review of the 2010 Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon Premium Collection has been posted over at LeftLane. 'Instead, CTS Sport Wagon is a genuine passenger and cargo hauler based on the brilliant-performing, razor sharp-styled CTS sedan. Intended in part to usher Cadillac's strongest effort yet in Europe (which wouldn't take much), the CTS Sport Wagon isn't likely to make major inroads in North America. Enthusiasts have vociferously clamored for five-doors, but consumers have stayed away in droves. Sorry, car guys: It ain't working. The wagon market in North America is nearly extinct, but at least GM recognizes that the CTS Sport Wagon will be a small volume player here and an image builder abroad.'

A review of the 2010 Cadillac Escalade ESV Platinum has been posted over at Left Lane News. 'Like the all-new Cowboys Stadium that stands nearly spitting distance from the Arlington Assembly plant, the Escalade ESV Platinum is reserved only for the fortunate few. For 2010, Cadillac added the Platinum treatment to its Suburban-sized Escalade ESV - think sumptuous aniline leather, real inlaid wood trim, unique LED headlamps, five LCD screens, a CTS-inspired front fascia and a $10,000 premium. Cadillac says that it wants either a sporty V version or a Platinum edition for each of its models. Clearly, the luxe-lined Platinum makes more sense here than a lowered 'Slade with a supercharger and a six-speed stick, although our demented automotive enthusiast minds sort of want to see that bizarre Escalade-V come to fruition just for the absurdity.

A review of the 2010 Cadillac SRX Premium FWD has been posted over at LeftLaneNews.com 'Our highly-optioned 3.0-liter tester featured a sunbelt and wallet-friendly front-wheel drive, but all-wheel drive and a turbocharged 2.8-liter V6 are also available. The SRX actually starts at a reasonable $33,330 for a base front-wheel-drive model, but that model doesn't include leather, wood trim, navigation, Bluetooth or a whole host of other luxury goodies. The lineup extends from that stripper to Luxury, Performance and Premium trim levels, each bringing more to the party. It's worth noting that the SRX may or may not have another luxury corporate cousin. As of this writing, GM's Saab unit still has a small glimmer of hope, meaning the term "stillborn" might not yet apply to the 9-4x.'

CNET have published their review of the 2010 Cadillac SRX SUV. 'Our review car came with all-wheel-drive and the 3-liter V-6. It also had a six-speed-automatic transmission, the same as the one used in the CTS. We've been impressed with this transmission's Sport mode in other reviews. When racing toward a corner and then hitting the brakes, the transmission will aggressively downshift and hold a low gear as you hit the gas on the way out to the next straightaway. The transmission exhibits similar behavior in the SRX, only the 3-liter engine can't really realize the transmissions potential. It's like putting an F-22 pilot into a 747; he might have incredible reflexes, but they will be largely wasted. Putting the transmission into Sport mode enables manual shifting, with sequential gear changes. For a torque converter, these shifts are pretty sharp, and it is best when used to drop a few gears to gain passing power or for engine braking down a long grade.'

The Truth About Cars have published a review of the 2010 Cadillac SRX V6 SUV. 'Since day one, the Cadillac SRX was a desperate underdog looking to dethrone the Lexus RX: Middle America's CUV of choice. But the SRX was a muscular macho machine and the Lexus is an overstuffed Camry Wagon. Now, with a more mundane blueprint, Cadillac believes their latest SRX utility is "the new standard for luxury crossovers." Plus, as the promotional material claims, it's also the Cadillac of Crossovers. Whoa dude: what standard are they holding themselves to, and does anyone still believe Cadillac is the ultimate word in luxury?'
