From Article:
We’ve loved Cadillac’s SRX since we first set foot in a prototype early in 2003. Later that year, an SRX won a C/D comparo, beating a Porsche Cayenne S, no less, likely the first time a Cadillac ever humbled anything conceived in Weissach. Then this chiseled-nose crossover went on to earn 5Best Truck honors — three times.
It lost to the MDX basically because the MDX was brand new.. and the MDX had slightly better overall performance.
As for why the SRX failed on the market place... I will use my wife's own words.. with pictures...
