The Rav 4 has much better performance and gets better MPG.

Your TB might be rear wheel drive but so is my dad's town car. The TB and Town Car both are body on frame designs from yesteryear.

It tries a bit too hard to be an off-road vehicle though. But I like that second interior shot with the aluminum and gray lthr. The window switches are taken off a '04 5-series.
The X3 was too close to the X5. Then the X5 grew. Now the world is a better place.

The Q5 is 18in shorter than the Q7, so you won't be hearing that from anyone, and the GLK definitely distances itself from the ML (not in a good way).

Once again you have no clue what you're talking about.

I was referring to the T-rag's reliability, which is not very good. (for the record, I have had ZERO problems with the TB in 2.5 years. Zero. )

I own a trailblazer as a "station car", it sits in a parking lot 12 hours a day. The last BMW I had that I left in a commuter parking lot on a regular basis was vandalized.

My comments above had NOTHING to do with what I currently drive as a DD, but I can see how your illogical mind went down that road.

I will once again tell you politely that I am not interested in a Rav-4. This is the last time i'm going to be polite about it.


And you wonder why I bust your chops.

The Nissan FX45 is close to what you listed (including the rwd-awd, minus the tough look), but it is booring.
You're right... even the new Acadia and Traverse which would fit the bill are FWD.... I can't stand FWD vehicles.

FWD is a deal killer on any car and I do see how the TB suits your needs as a daily commuter car. I wouldn't spend more on a car than a TB costs to have it sit out in the sun getting door dings all day in a parking lot.

Oh...the Mini Cooper S still intrigues me though, but it would be hard to pull the trigger on FWD anything.

Sorry, I thought you were looking to get a replacement car/truck that was lower profile, so you could park it at the station/bus lot and still use it for other functions as well. Are they still stealing head lights, I have parked my X5 on the street (in Queens) from to time and have been lucky.
