Apparently they showed the "SRX-replacing" Cadillac crossover certain spy photographers have adamantly been calling the BRX. Except, it won't be called the BRX for the 2010 model year. Nope, expect the 2010 Cadillac SRX to be called — drum roll, please — the 2010 Cadillac SRX. Yes, SRX is the BRX. Glad we got that one figured out. Please feel free to exhale and then go about your regular business. UPDATE: Apparently Edmunds.com's Inside Line got to the story without resorting to reader tips. Those Inside Liners — always with their silly "connections" and "sources" and stuff. Sheesh. More »

The new CUV from the General is expected to start production in May of 2009 at the Ramos Arizpe plant with its platform-sharing cousin, the Saab 9-4X, in May of 2009 as a 2010 model year vehicle. So since the last shots of the 2010 BRX was spotted, what do we find as different? There's that grille — like the Provoq concept's drastic change from the Art & Science look of the past few years of the Cadillac brand. Full spy report below the jump and the large-scale shot here.

At least we can only assume it's cold weather testing as it's wearing a leather snowsuit that'd make even little Randy topple over into the snow. Plus we're here, so we know it's frickin' freezing. According to KGP's sources, this actually may not even be the BRX. We heard back in December GMC was also going to get a Theta-platformed CUV, and after the arrival of Cadillac's Provoq concept at CES and the Detroit Auto Show — which features several design cues that alternately match, and differ from this prototype, neither us, nor Black Bart's KGP's shooters are comfortable in decisively stating that yes, this is the BRX. However, it's more likely than not — and that Vue-like shape is a pretty obvious tell that it's a Theta. While we're not sure whether it'll be 2009 or 2010 when we'll see the first BRX, the full description from KGP of their reasoning why this is representin' Cadillac style and not so much professional grade, after the jump. And by the way — we actually decided not to buy KGP's pictures this time around as they're not that much different from the last prototype tester seen in our last set of shots — only this time more close-up. So we've decided instead just to run these old n' busted shots of the 2009 Cadillac BRX below and we've linked to his new shots after the description after the jump. More »

The BRX crossover is set to replace the slow-selling SRX as early as next fall. The long-wheelbase Theta II-platformed Car-UV would be the longer kissin' cousin of the Saturn Vue — which it was just seen testing alongside of in these shots. We'll let KGP take it from here:
One of our eagle-eyed compatriots spotted this all-new crossover during some high-altitude tests and managed to get a few photos before it got away. The BRX had been pegged by industry sources as a smaller, more economical replacement for Cadillac's slow-selling SRX, utilizing a long-wheelbase variation on the Theta II platform that underpins the new Saturn Vue. The size and packaging of this latest prototype, seen testing along side a Saturn Vue as they high-tailed it to safety, appears to support those initial reports.

That from the UK's Just-Auto, which assures GM is developing the two vehicles to be "very different and specific." As we reported eons ago, those will be the Saab 9-4x and Cadillac BRX (or thereabouts), built on GM's new Theta Premium platform, created from parts lifted from the current Theta platform (Chevy Equinox) and new Epsilon II (read: updated Saab 9-3, Chevy Malibu, etc.) They'll reach showrooms inside of two years to fight the small luxury SUV fight.
