Problem is that the current SRX is on a very well planted RWD based Sigma platform. It handles well, and its upgraded interior is sharp, but thats about all it does well. Sales are dismal, so IMO, the SRX going to a FWD-ish based platform should be a bit more of a sales success as customers come to see the more fitting CUV style instead of that kind-of-a-wagon, tall-like-an-suv, current SRX.

i hear the old SRX was one of the few great GM cars that never caught on. i think what killed it was the engine choices. the V6 was underpowered and had awful gas mileage. the v8 was expensive and had even worse gas mileage.

i want a nox. i don't think its any secret at this point
