Cadillac Discontinues SRX Turbo DueTo Sluggish Sales

In recent weeks there has been speculation that Cadillac would be killing off the turbocharged model of its SRX crossover. The speculation fueled by dealership rumors and recent amendments to GM’s vehicle order guide; both suggesting the cease of production of the turbo model. Today Cadillac PR has confirmed to GMI that the SRX Turbo has been discontinued.

Cadillac spokesperson Robyn Henderson stated that low sales of the turbo model fueled its demise, citing that over 90-percent of SRX sales have been of the 3.0-liter model.

It's just not the time nor the place for it. And while it was likely a nice piece of machinery, the automakers are getting it wrong on the strategy of having an optional engine that is smaller than a standard engine.

Regardless of the outcome in power, people don't get it. Ford is likely to see this soon with their range of new EcoBoost engines that are almost all significantly smaller and more expensive than the standard engines they replace.

I'm not surprised they killed the engine. News reports of that engine blowing itself apart, after being run on a few gallons of bad gas, surely played a role as well.
