Good, thorough reviews.
"...Sadly the SRX has the “Art & Science” design theme. I personally like it, but the styling theme is still very controversial due to the fact that some people do not think it is very “Cadillac-like”, and some just plain hate the design..."
I understand your point, NSAP, but I don't necessarily think that a more polarizing design theme is a liability, per se. It's fine that some people don't like it; it appears that there is large audience, including you and me, that do appreciate it. It has been coherently applied to several Cadillac vehicles in a way that proclaims a strong family resemblance without being too "cookie-cutter," though I understand your CTS-SRX design comments. Thankfully, when you drive an Art & Science-designed vehicle, you know it's a Cadillac; they really do have a distinctive look.
