All in the efforts of staving off corporate death, General Motors is banging the drum again on all of their possible offerings. This time, they unveiled the new 2010 Cadillac SRX even before its supposed debut in the Detroit Motor Show.

The SRX gets a new treatment starting with a curvier exterior with Cadillac ditching the familiar right angles found in its previous incarnation. This is in reaction to the beating the SRX got in its market division with better looking crossover competitors.

Under the hood, the SRX gets a choice of a V6s – a 3L and a 2.8L turbo. Both engines would return 20-something miles to the gallon according to GM execs. The 3L engine dishes out 260 hp and 221 lb-ft of torque while the 2.8 turbo gets 300 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. Both engines will be mated to six-speed gearboxes.

I wonder why GM still wants to pursue a good share in an oversaturated market. The local market is quite bleak despite the overall preference for smaller vehicles and elsewhere, people prefer European made CUVs.
