The VW touareg is nice... I also looked at Audi (owned by VW) but the designs on the q7 make it look like a huge station wagon. (i do love audi, my wife has an a5)

The jeep may not have all the performance refinement as the german counterparts, but what you get for the $$ totally makes up for it. Plus it is far more capable off road.
