mmmm... for a heavy duty SUV, i would go for a Mitsubishi Montero, for a sports luxury SUV i would go for Touareg. if i decided to go for a non-SUV, i would go for an E65 (745i '02)

RR have bad reputation for breaking up, FX is ugly and drives like crap, Cayenne connot be fixed at independent mechanics in my country (dealer costs a lot), ML is ugly, and all the american SUV are a bunch of plastic driven by a jurasic-technology engine and fast only pulling straight lines (no pleasure), Audi have bad reliability and expensive maintenance (at least where i live)...


Thanks god they created the X!!

Interesting inputs - seems to me as much as the X5's get bashed on this forum for reliability concerns, there is just no better alternative out there that has a similar level of driving perfection and as good or better reliability record and cost of ownership. I guess that is why most of us still have our X5's eh?

An Acura MDX or Infiniti FX. I also looked at the Cayenne but had not read good things about them. I had an MDX before my X5 and it was a great car. I passed it along to the hubby who drives it just to work.

Back in the day of my 4.8is- if that weren't around an ML55 (or G). Today, Id look to the Cayenne (maybe the GTS?). The new Cayenne looks waaaay better than the older verisons, thankfully.

I'd probably still have my E36 M3 convert w/manual for daily driving .

Not gonna lie, I want that as my next car. It rides like crap, handles horribly, and squeaks, but in return it is possibly the funniest vehicle I've ever driven. I absolutely love it.
