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.

535 xi wagon
335 xi (may be too small)

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?

yes, i only buy new.
I've already had 2 X5's don't want another
X3's have potential tranny problems
535xi wagon? are you shitting me?
335xi? with 2 dogs, ski equipment, 2 people etc? too small.
MDX - FWD bias... won't EVER drive a FWD car. Don't like the sensation of being pulled.

Thanks for the suggestions, but it obvious you're a "BMW only guy" which is cool, but I'm not disqualifying a car just because it doesn't have a roundel on it.
btw- i should restate what i said above a bit... i don't NOT need excitement in my DD, what I should have said is that because I have another car that is sports car i dont' need my dd/truck/suv to be the epitome of a sports car or handle like one etc. The FX has an excellent engine, suspension, handling, interior etc etc. The vette is my #1 ride, my DD isn't.
