The whimpering noises that marred a prior drive by the Allegheny Mountains were long gone. The weight that once looked like more albatross than probably protective benefit was mitigated by a raise in power — 308 horsepower in the 2012 Cadillac SRX truck powered for this line, up from 265 horsepower SRX V-6.
It’s a old idea in vehicle industry to say that the merely good horsepower is more horse power. However more, in this instance, was a certain benefit in changing something as weighty as the 2012 Cadillac SRX with 5,467 pounds across over mountain roads.
A few years ago, when I drove my car here from my home, I was more concerned with fuel economy than I was about power. Money was tight and limited. Gasoline prices were excessive. In some recoverable format, a Cadillac with a 265-horsepower V-6 engine appeared like a good bargain — sufficient power and comfort and ease for a long road journey, with lowest fuel costs.
It developed into a delusional drag festival — a elegant, sharp-edged, absolutely high-class Cadillac wagon with the life blood of a Hyundai Elantra economy four-door. Driving it was just like investing a night in a fortress without light, food or heat. Giving that first SRX parked in Detroit was both benefit and epiphany. I was pleased to be done with it. Moreover, I was hoisted on my own intelligent petard.
Throughout the world, the auto industry has been attempting to deal with the same debate. But it’s a tough issue. More fuel economy appears to be good while you are driving short miles if you don’t have much to take or when you have apparently forever to get exactly where you are going. However it’s a sop of a issue when what you actually need is power.
