Do you have to buy new? Why not a CPO e53 X5?

If you have to have new, what about an MDX? A little less generic looking IMO. As you said though, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I know you have your Vette for fun, but why settle for a second choice car as your DD? Especially if you are going to spend as much as a FX costs? I don't get when people say I have a car for fun I need a daily driver. You are going to spend way more time in the DD you are buying than your Vette so why not get one that you really like and excites you to drive everyday? Like maybe a CPO 4.6/4.8is?
