Initially referred to as the Cadillac BRX, the SUV will use the SRX name globally, execs tell us. GM offered a sneak peak of the five-passenger SUV at Pebble Beach, with promises it will debut on the auto show circuit later this year. The final product stays relatively true to the Cadillac Provoq concept we first saw at the 2008 North American International Auto Show.

The SRX is Cadillac’s entry in the competitive mid-size luxury SUV market that includes competitors such as the Lexus RX350, BMW X5 and Mercedes ML-Class. First introduced in 2004, the SRX was completely redesigned for the 2010 model year onward.

Pros:
* Bold style
* Rich, stylish interior
* Powerful base engine
* Excellent brakes

Cons:
* Rear styling a little heavy
* Engine noisy under full throttle
