The 2011 Cadillac SRX
Shortly after I began dating my wife Patricia, I looked in the old garage behind her house one evening while she was still getting ready for our date and, much to my amazement, I saw a bright Red 1967 Cadillac De Ville 2-Door Hardtop. I asked her about it and she said it was her daily driver for many years but one day when it needed repair, her previous husband took it apart and had no idea how to put it back together. The ’67 Cady remained in the garage until one day when her father came from Oregon for a visit. He immediately asked me if I had any tools and the next day I brought him everything I had.
While Trish and I were at work each day he would go back to the garage and work on the Caddy. I really didn’t believe he would get it running because I had seen the piles of parts in the trunk and around the garage. A few evenings later I pulled up to the house to find Trish and her dad sitting in the front seat of the Caddy honking at me.
The first ride in that Caddy was really something. The red leather interior was still in great shape and within a few blocks I realized that car was a parade all by itself. Everyone stopped what they were doing and waved or honked. We decided that it probably wasn’t realistic to make the car her daily driver again since she would have put in a lead additive every time she filled it up, so she advertised it and sold it to a collector that was going to do a full restoration.
As he drove off in the car I asked my wife-to-be why she was crying and she said, ”it was y first Caddy, you have no idea how wonderful that car made me feel.” Since then I have had the pleasure of owning a Cadillac, so finally know exactly what she was talking about.
The 2011 Cadillac SRX is definitely a vehicle to inspire those kind of feelings. The SRX is the Cadillac of crossovers. A fusing of dramatic presence, advanced technology and flexible storage space, all crafted to the highest level of detail. Powered by an advanced direct-injected or available turbocharged engine, and offering a handcrafted interior that pampers both driver and passengers. This is a new standard for luxury crossovers.
When it comes to the SRX, performance means many things. The StabiliTrak electronic stability control automatically engages braking and modulates engine power to help the driver stay on course. And the available advanced all-wheel drive system employs an electronic limited slip differential which provides enhanced control while cornering.
Inside the SRX, advanced technology and craftsmanship come together like never before. This is a carefully handcrafted cabin, accented by exquisite French stitching, available Sapele wood trim, fingertip steering wheel mounted controls and available interior ambient lighting. Incorporating amenities like a Bose® premium sound system, iPod connectivity, and an available hard drive with 10GB for music storage, glide-up touch screen navigation, and Bluetooth® phone connectivity, the 2011 Cadillac SRX makes the most of your driving experience. A power liftgate with memory allows you to open the liftgate to any pre-programmed height, and close it, at the touch of a button.
Engine options include a 3.0L direct injection V6, or an available 2.8L turbocharged V6 with ECO mode to alter transmission shift points and maximize fuel efficiency. Direct injection technology combined with Variable Valve Timing, delivers the perfect balance of impressive power and fuel efficiency. The 6-speed automatic transmission incorporates Driver Shift Control, which allows smooth manual gear changes without the use of a clutch pedal.
The Memory Seating option recalls settings for two drivers, including driver’s seat position, adjustable pedals, outside mirrors and other personal preferences. Keyless access is an available feature that allows convenient passive vehicle entry. Once programmed, the remote unlocks all five doors when carried near the vehicle and locks them as you walk away. An available UltraView sunroof spans front and rear seats and features a sliding glass panel and power sunshade.
If you’re hauling any kids, I recommend the rear-seat DVD Entertainment System with dual seat-mounted flip-up diagonal screens, wireless headphones and remote, it provides diversion for passengers in back. A rearview camera is viewable via an LCD screen in the rearview mirror or on the navigation screen, when equipped.
The best place I know of to see and drive the 2011 Cadillac SRX is Marquitz Buick Cadillac GMC in Troy, Missouri. The Marquitz team has the highest possible standards of customer service and strives to exceed those standards every day. Each and every Marquitz associate is dedicated to making sure you have the finest purchase and ownership experience possible.

The 2011 Cadillac Escalade is the Most Desired SUV in the World for a Reason.
I have to be honest. A number of years ago when Cadillac introduced their first SUV, I actually laughed. Why would the finest luxury car maker in the USA have any need to introduce a truck? I was dead wrong. Since then I have developed a deep and enduring respect for what has become the most desired SUV in the world.
My introduction to the Cadillac mystique came at a very early age. I first road in my grandfather’s two-toned turquoise and white 1957 Cadillac Coupe when I traveled with him and my grandmother from Troy to their summer home and business near Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. The anticipation of playing Davy Crockett in the Canadian backwoods soon gave way to a flood of unexpected awakenings. I spent two of the best days of my life sitting next to my grandfather as he unveiled all the reasons he had desired a Cadillac his entire life and how proud he was to finally own one. The front seat of Grandpa’s 1957 Cadillac was pure magic.
(Flash forward to present day)
I’ve been in a Cadillac or two since then but that feeling of magic didn’t return until I sat in a Cadillac Escalade for the very first time. Then I finally understood why Cadillac had chosen to build an SUV. This was a vehicle like no other and it truly possessed the soul of a Cadillac. The Escalade is the most acclaimed luxury SUV thanks to a blend of unique styling, spacious interior, powerful performance and agile handling. Its well-appointed cabin seats up to eight comfortably and features on-board equipment and technology to keep you and your entire family connected.
The interior of the Escalade is a sanctuary on wheels, with amenities like a leather and wood trimmed steering wheel that’s power tilt-adjustable and available heated. Plus, Tri-zone automatic climate control allows temperature conditions to be set for driver, front passenger and rear seat passengers, allowing you and your companions to travel in style and comfort. Magnetic Ride Control reads the road up to 1,000 times a second and adjusts to changing road conditions every five milliseconds, providing an almost instantaneous response to any road surface for enhanced confidence behind the wheel.
Touch-Screen Navigation allows the driver to effortlessly follow route guidance, while available XM Traffic provides real-time traffic information. What's more, a rearview camera lets you see what's behind the vehicle.
All this adds up to a compelling presence and world-class attention to detail, but The 2011 Cadillac Escalade offers more than just handsome good looks. This luxury Sport Utility Vehicle features a 403 hp engine, capable of towing up to 8,300 pounds. The first Cadillac to use Active Fuel Management, the Escalade senses when you don't need the full power of eight cylinders and automatically adjusts to run on four, saving you fuel. The Escalade delivers both power and efficiency, including impressive fuel economy that its competitors can't top plus a DVD-based navigation system with 8-inch diagonal touch-screen display and a premium Bose Sound System.
Another lesson life has revealed to me is, that true value rarely comes with the lowest price tag. True value is found by acquiring a product of the highest quality at the most competitive price possible and that’s where the team at Marquitz Buick Cadillac GMC in Troy, Missouri shines. Marquitz prices the Escalade more aggressively than any other dealer I’ve seen.
They’re Cadillac experts and they will work harder than any other dealer to get you the most for your trade and put you in the new Escalade at a payment that works for you. Maybe that’s why so many folks keep coming back to Marquitz… they treat you with courtesy and respect. That’s a breath of fresh air in this day and age.
Stop by Marquitz Buick Cadillac GMC in Troy and let them introduce you to the best vehicle you will ever drive or own. It is the world’s most desired SUV for a reason. In fact I could give you thousands of them but there’s one that matters most… its magic.
