What part of this did you not understand?

"If I were to get something else, either SUV/SAV or 4 door sedan, what would you suggest? "
I understood only the part that he is not looking for a truck

blue dragon will become famous soon enough
How about the F15? You got a good 7 years out of the E70, I'd say that was fair.

If you were not keen on replacing with the F15 which I think is an excellent suggestion by the way...then why not consider a late model Prado because other than the fact they are comfortable, capable, spacious, luxury SUVs which retain an above average resale value, the simple fact that suggesting one will no doubt illicit a humorous response from bawareca tickles me

Prado? What is that foreign thing?
Oh, Lexus GX


P.S. Drove Lexus Gx470 a while ago. Tall, lumbering, soft, no steering feel.
Just can't imagine taking a scenic drive in it, taking a turn in that thing.

Thanks for all of the suggestions...
I think the new F15 would probably be my first choice, don't like it as well, so I'm staying with my E70 for now.

we're all more or less in the same boat. I have 25k more to go before my ext is up, which for me is at least 2+ years.. so who knows what will be available then.

but to answer the question.

'12 X5M
M5

maybe
Cayenne Turbo

I was forced out of my car due to a tranny issue. Ended up with a CPO 2013 Audi Q7. Larger and more comfortable than the X5 and fit and finish seems better too. Not as quick, but this my wife's car and it's just fine for her.

As for me, I'm seriously considering the S6 or a Cayenne.

I went from a 2008 E70 4.8i to a 2013 E71 X6M. The performance of the X6M is way better than my e70. No regrets at all!
