hey now, you don't need a mullet to drive a Corvette. Most vette owners don't have much hair left as a matter of fact :-) which is why they sell so many AT's. Which is just wrong btw....

Anyway - X3 is a chick car if you ask me. I'm just saying!!

4.6 / 4.8is are the only bad-ass SUV's in the range of what you are considering. But you won't find one with a warrantee anywhere near your price range, and it will prove very costly to own if you cannot perform repairs and maint. yourself, and even still the consumabes - tires, brakes - are pretty expensive anyway.

If you want bad-ass get a H2 hummer!! Drive right over those Prius owners giving you the evil eye....
