SRX is getting old, but will still appeal to fans of a refined cabin and relaxing drive.

You mean your CUE in the SRX isn't as fast as the XC90?  My updated XTS VSport with updated CUE can match the XC90....when zoomed out like this video shows.

I was looking at 2010-2011 SRX Turbo to tune it to 335 HP and 400 lb-ft from Vermont tuning.  The very low mileage SRX/Saab 9-4X Aero were pulling high $20's to low $30's. This is for a 5 year old CUV! Crazy how they hold their value!

We decided to downsize with more luxuries, a $10,000 priced bump used, and more car-like driving experience in a XTS VSport...and couldn't be happier.   The VSport in XTS's standard AWD was the choice over a smaller CTS VSport and it's RWD that was a higher price. The XTS is sporting 530+ lb-ft of torque via HPTuners and enjoys 32.2 mpg when the adaptive cruise is set to 65 mph.

Amazing intro, Pritch!!!  SRX, however, long in the tooth.

Wow those A pillars are thick.  Feels like driving would be akin to peering out the end of a tunnel.

i could rant again, but I just wont bother...you all know my insane ideas...

at least this one isn't pretending to be a touring car like some other SUVs of late

so for that reason alone I say I like it

I regard the SRX as the worst remaining remnant of the misguided art & science design era that solidified Cadillac's position as the cheeseball lux brand for the nouveaux middle class.

Said another way, I don't care much for it.

Interesting viewpoint - I think the SRX is the least "art & science" design of all those Caddys.  I think of Art & Science design as angular and chiseled, like the 1st and 2nd gen CTS.  I find the SRX to be a non-descript blob, like most other CUVs. (so yeah, I too don't care much for it!)

Around my hood, the SRX, RX350/400 and Enclave are well represented. There are a few MDX, X3/X1 thrown in for diversity.

I agree with you there, it's just the the SRX still wears some of that hangover IMO.

Until you seen it next to it twin the Saab 9-4x which is really round and homely next to the SRX.
