MD, agreed about stats and politics. You quoted (for Jeep I think)

>0-62 mph: (0-100 km/h): 8.3 (DCX)

Doesnt make sense to me that the 60-62 mph interval takes 1.4s ? Something amiss here.

Of course, throw in some serious off road and the Jeep wins hands down.
Throw in some hi-speed corners and the X5 wins hand down.

I think some decent Cab. at the local wine bar will fuel the debate and the next 800 mile ski trip to Mammoth will resolve the fact that the Jeep EATS gas :-)

Scotty, those times above were from two diff sources, pasted exactly as I saw them: MT said 0-60 in 6.9...the other mag source in that paste, 'DCX", whoeverthehellthatis, said 0-100 Kph in 8.3. Reasonable as I see considerable diffs in car to car variability/test conditions,etc. in most mag to mag road tests.
