My friend recently bought a cadillac srx. He loved the luxury features and didn’t think he would care about anything on the performance end. However after a couple months of ownership he’d rather spend a bit more and have a proper SUV with more power.
I suggested A 2011+ range rover or a cayenne. Range rover seems compelling as they are well priced when buying used and he probably would end up spending the same amount of money as he did on the srx. That being said I think the cayenne (gts or turbo) are really really nice, just a fair bit more $$.
I don’t know much of anything about that class of SUV though, thoughts?
