No, it’s not a “Cadillac Style” weekend here at Jalopnik, but there is one other thing we wanted to mention about the poll Wally took that revealed the 2010 Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon. Apparently they showed the “SRX-replacing” Cadillac crossover certain spy photographers have adamantly been calling the BRX. Except, it won’t be called the… »
