AutoWeek gives a favorable review of the new SRX (8/10 issue), but the specs say the curb weight is 4,224 lbs and hp is a mild 265 from a stock 3.0 V6. Doesn't give 0-60 times. Turbo option due later. Cadillac says the SRX "has no commonality with the Theta platform." (i.e., Equinox, I think)
The C&D review says the standard V6 is "overwhelmed" by the car's weight, reports that it took 8.4 seconds to get to 60 (don't race RAV4s) and ends with The Verdict: "Maybe the upcoming turbo V-6 will help. Maybe."
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder etcetc ... but I don't care for cars that look as if they are based on sketches done by a high school student in study hall who dreams of being noticed by passersby. 'Course, there are a lot of folks with contrary design ideas, since that's how a lot of new cars look.
Be careful what you wish for.
