I really like the new SUV's from GM. Especially this line (Saturn Outlook, Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia).

Oh, great! Now almost all of GM divisions have a Lambda crossover. Having 4 will make further differentation hard in the future. Hopefully, the (planned) Nomad will have a different roofline than the others.

I actually thought GM would leave a division out (excluding Cadillac, Saab, Hummer) for this platform. But makes me wonder what's planned for the next SRX? And will Saab get another SUV...possibly based on the next SRX?

word is that the SRX is going to be axed after this generation. Its sad because it really is a great competitor, it just never took off sales wise. It was priced too close to the Escalade.

The SRX is being canned. NO!!!!!!!!!!
Is the same platform as the Buick Enclave? Hopefully it will look as good.
