I finally got my issue yesterday. Basically, they said that where the others may have shined in one or two ways, the SRX is good or near great in EVERY category. I would agree. Overall its nice to see a no. 1 go to Cadillac

I wonder why the new BMW '04 X5 4.4i was not part of the test.

[Brett]

They had some strange rationale for certain vehicles not being there. Mainly the BMW lost to the Touraeg in a previous comparo, so there was no need to include it here. Then they point out that the BMW was a I-6 in the last test, which is why it probably lost to the touraeg......which really doesnt explain why they didnt have the new 315hp X5. The most logical explanation is that there werent any, the factory in South Carolina only switched over a week and a half ago, this article would have had to be done before that, so no X5.

there is always next month and other magazines that could put the SRX and the new X5 in the arena..head to head...wow!

Even if the SRX doesn't beat the X5, it's still nice to know it's competing in the same league.. Cadillac has come a long, long way...

Thats totally the point. The fact that Cadillac is here competing and winning is awesome. The fact is even if head-to-head in a magazine the X5 won, these 2 cars are basically equal. With slight differentiations that appeal to certain people. The SRX is a great step.
