As you know I like posting "left field" cars as well. What do you think of this new Caddy crossover...smart hey 
"The first-ever 2017 Crossover Touring 5 (XT5) is a comprehensively upgraded luxury crossover and the cornerstone of a new series of crossovers in the brand's ongoing expansion. The first-ever Cadillac XT5 begun production in the U.S. and China in spring 2016.
Cadillac crossovers will wear the "XT" designation, a key aspect of the brand's product-driven global growth plan.
CHASSIS - Lightweight, efficient package enables more space
The Cadillac XT5 is completely new, residing on a unique chassis and structure.
Cadillac's new crossover embodies the company's expertise for lightweight and agile driving dynamics. The new XT5 is 278 pounds (126 kg) lighter than the current SRX , and 100 pounds (45 kg) lighter than the Audi Q5 - despite the Cadillac being seven inches longer. The new Cadillac XT5 is more than 650 pounds (295 kg) lighter than the Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class, achieving this with no compromise to body rigidity and crash performance.
Rear-seat legroom is increased 3.2 in. (8.1 cm) in the XT5, compared to the SRX. The rear seat reclines and slides fore and aft, as well.
This was achieved using many of the techniques applied on the Cadillac CTS and ATS sport sedans - the lightest cars in their respective segments. This includes the use of laser welding, ultra high-strength steel and advanced analytics that ensure a stronger structure, and excellent crash performance with less overall bulk."
