I was about to make fun of you for leaving the Atlantic Auto Sales sticker on it. Then I remembered mine still has the Barry's sticker on it. They put mine above the Northstar badge...

They should have put the sticker OVER the DeathStar badge.

For fun, here are the pictures I took in Nov 2011 right before this was purchased by the current owner. This was at a dealer in NY.

It's only had like 38k in 6-1/2 years. And an Odyssey replaced it 4 years ago. So I'd guess most of that mileage was from late 2011 to about May of 2014. Call it 2-1/2 years.

Also for fun, here's a test with the original 04 SRX against a Volkswagen Touareg V-8, Infiniti FX45 and Porsche Cayenne S. SRX placed 1st.

And another test with the refreshed 07 against even more competition: BMW X5 vs. Acura MDX, Cadillac SRX, M-B ML350, Lexus GX470, Volvo XC90, VW Touareg, Land Rover LR3.

The now 4 year old SRX placed 2nd in this group. The 1st gen SRX was actually very successful for Cadillac and my theory is they were ahead of the competition at the time, based on the C/D articles. Even though their products have gotten objectively better, so has the competition. First gen Sigma was a good platform, especially at the time. I collected all three. Family car, luxury car and sport sedan, all from the same platform. Nothing wrong with that.

Models on Sigma ended up as only the 2nd gen CTS after GM did not continue either the STS or SRX on the platform, but with how good the V2 was, that is a fine way for the platform to go out (03-14-ish?).
