Volvo is not ugly. Of course it's not as beautiful as a Q7 or a ML class but certainly not ugly.

Re: Cadillac SRX-V8 vs. Merc R500 vs. Volvo XC90-V8

It`s amazing how quick the R-Class is. It`s the heaviest vehicle in the test with the weakest horsepower yet the fastest, Gotta be the G7.

Re: Cadillac SRX-V8 vs. Merc R500 vs. Volvo XC90-V8

Given the choice of these three cars, I would take the Volvo XC90.

It's by far the best car. It's even better than the new Audi Q7.

As far as looks concern, none of them take prizes.

For the first time ever, I would dare to say that Cadillac finally made a better looking car than a Mercedes-Benz.

However, ask which is better looking, the R-Class or the SRX, it's like asking whose is better looking,

Patty Bouvier (Merc)


or

Selma Bouvier (Caddy)


??????



Marge (Volvo) manages to look marginally better than the other two.



But I don't live in Springfeld. And happily, I'm not a cartoon character.

Therefore, I would take the obvious and beautiful alternative, the new Mercedes M-Class (below)



Oh yes...the new M-Class is indeed the SUV equivalent of Angelina Jolie.

Re: Cadillac SRX-V8 vs. Merc R500 vs. Volvo XC90-V8

Cool comparison, lol. As far as looks go the Caddi looks all right, the Merc is hot in black and the XC90 isn't ugly but its looks are rather boring.

Re: Cadillac SRX-V8 vs. Merc R500 vs. Volvo XC90-V8

The Volvo I think looks the best... quite neutral, but I wouldn't mind having one instead of the other 3. With the right color combo and decent size rims, I think it looks pretty good actually.

Re: Cadillac SRX-V8 vs. Merc R500 vs. Volvo XC90-V8

Were I buying a car for my imaginary go-gettin' family, a stripped-down R500 would be one of my top choices.

I was impressed by how the '500 behaves on city streets. The thing accelerates with an enthusiasm that belies its large size. After you adjust to feeling behind wheel you'd sware you're driving an E-Klasse. The 2nd row seats are throne-like with gobs of legroom, and the 3rd row is completely acceptable for anybody 5'9" or less.
