Second of all, in regular rainy days (where it is safe to do 50mph), while doing 50mph you can make an emergency maneuver in a Tahoe just the same way you can in an X5. Both cars will perform as intended without any difference. You will not lose control in both cars.
So, you are now changing my words to "heavy" rain. Why don't you just say I said a tornado, too ? Drivers in a normal rain, 50 mph, on a highway--happens all the time, everyday, in America. And when a car swirves in your lane the Tahoe will probably flip--wet or dry. So, a 7,000 lb Tahoe, that's taller and does not have 50/50 weight distribution like the X5 has the same handling characteristics as an X5--do you really believe that ?

Show me one Tahoe that flipped in a situation of your example.

It is not swirves btw it is swerves. You need to double check your grammar

If you are talking about extreme situations it is not the problem due to car, it is going to be a problem due to the driver. A car does not put a driver in extreme situations rather a driver puts himself in such situations.

PS: I drive in the rain all the time it rains, and never had a situation where a car swerve in my lane, and I had to do an emergency move. Many miles, many years of driving.

A college kid who can not even write in English grammar, but has the "know-it-all" attitude and getting tipsy. I think you should go back to your facebook page and update your status to "can not write in proper English, even though I am a college kid", then when you learn how to speak and write the English language, i will continue the discussion. Until then "peace out", roflma

Hummm.


Back to the subject, how did you do your comparison of the Tahoe vs. X5 in an emergency maneuver? What were your results, as compared to the Consumer Reports quantitative results?

I am seriously interested as to why your results differ from Consumer Reports' results.

When does this guy learn? Next he's going to tell us that X5's are actually faster while driving in reverse....
