When I took my SRX in for service last week the loaner was a 08 CTS. It was a V6 no sunroof etc. Nice commuter car but I wanted to drive the V8 at least.

Mostly I wanted to drive the V8 because my SRX is a V6 and I think it has plenty of push but I'm told the V8 is just far and away a more fun car to drive. On the SRX the 6 moves it around just fine and with really good gas milage. The only problem I've had with it is the Vistaview sunroof tends to squeek.

I have a V6 SRX 2006 and a V8 SRX 2008, the V6 as you said moves the SRX nicely,the V8 SRX has a 6 speed compared to the V6 5 speed, and the V8 runs great and gets only 1/2 mile per gallon less in the city, and the handling with the 20's is very good. The V8 moves the SRX much better than I would have ever thought.

Lord I hope we're not getting back to all the uninspiring cars we had in the late 70's!
