Nice cars, can't wait for the CTS-V to hit the streets

One question about the SRX - why the hell does the press insist on calling it an SUV

QUIKAG · January 22, 2004

It's a nice wagon. My father and I did a 24 hour test drive on it. That 32V Northstar really honks, it sounds great and runs strong. I think that is one of the defining attributes of the SRX. It also handles very well.

That said, it is NOT an SUV, it's a d**n nice wagon. Deal with it.

Call it the CTS station wagon and GM will be very endeared to you. (not) I think something that should be tested is how well the CTS does as a truck. How does it do hauling things from Home Depot? Could you occasionally use it like a Tahoe?

Sorry, the SRX doesn't have the side profile, ground clearance, or tow rating of a full blown SUV. It's a wagon and that's not a bad thing, though the name 'wagon' has a negative connotation associated with it.

Which AWD system does it have? New Venture Gear, Borg Warner, or something else?

Zane · January 26, 2004

Well guys and gals, we pick up the SRX tomorrow.

Continue to post questions or requests here and we'll get to them with answers asap!

Manufs won't use the term wagon - the new one is 'cross-over vehicle'

In that picture, it looks like a tall-silled station wagon to me. Like the Chrysler Pacifica.

When are you going to post the SSR and Hummer H2 review?

Last week my coworker had his new (04 2500 with 700 miles on it) fry the front differential. The owner of the dealership felt so bad that he let him have a SRV for a loner. He drove it to work and when we went to lunch he let me have a spin...wow!! Talk about nice and a quick mover...wow! And the stereo was fantastic...but that $53,000 price tag was enough to negate my fears that my wife might someday drive one of these. Very nice vehicle that had a very powerful V8 and got up and went but too pricey.
