My SRX has everything that you want, but the size. I do like the HID lights. They light up both sides of the road so that you can see deer if they are looking to cross in front of you.

I saw on NBC news that they said the cost of the GM Hybrids are not worth it, they recommended the Lexus hybrid instead. Also, Edmunds.com said that the Chevy hybrid is not worth it. I saw the vid review about 2 weeks ago.

I never used to like the SRX at first, but I do like it now. It is a pretty cool SUV. The HID is lovely, Nissan makes some pretty good HID as well I have seen the HID on the new CTS though and it does not look like the HID on other Cadillacs it is almost yellowish

I think that's the color temperature of the bulbs. The lower temperature has less blue in it.

Not worth the cost over a Non Hybrid Tahoe. But if you're going to spend $50k plus on a full sized SUV then it is in your price range, and offers the new technology you crave.

No, you didn't. But considering the fact that you complained about the OHV engines as being old fashoned, I figured this 2 mode hybrid could catch your eye technologically, not to mention the fuel economy being far superior to anything in it's class.

There's no "lower temperature" bulbs; xenon gas is xenon gas, period. If one looks yellower than another one, chalk that up to the placebo effect.
Three different lights:
1. Halogen (white/yellow)
2. Xenon (white/blue)
3. LED (white/blue).
Most cars come equipped with halogen lamps. Some higher-end cars come with Xenon (same kind of gas in strobe light bulbs), and the highest-end, most advanced cars come with LED all-around (Most Cadillac and Lexus models).
Since Honda is still in the stone age making cars with old, antiquidated 5-speed automatics and clunky, old SOHC powerplants that don't even have VVT phasing on the exhaust cam, we can expect Honda to add xenon headlamps to their lineup of cars around the 2050 model year. LED headlamps in Honda's have a year 2100 target date.

I don't know of anyone who thinks the OHV LS7 or LS3 is "old fashioned". Certainly not Porsche or Ferrari, who once again got their proverbial behinds handed to them at the 24-hr/LeMans endurance race by the OHV LS7 that poweres the C6-R...
