I hate you guys!! 3 hours ago, I was sold on a new Pathfinder, and now my wife says, "well, honey, maybe we SHOULDN'T sell it"...AAARGGHH!! I guess I'll keep it until I get back, and then make a more "edumacated" decision, since the vehicles I speak of are only visible to me via the internet...

I was just thinking, "why do I drive a $45,000 truck, with all this refinement, luxury, and gadgets, when all I do is throw groceries in the back on the weekends, and listen to my music at socially unacceptable and unsafe decibel levels? Cant I save 10-15 grand and do the same thing?

Well, I guess I could, but jaba, and the rest of you guys may have a point. I keep thinking about the first time I sat in the X and fell in love, and my wife looking at me and saying "Yep!"...

Anyway, Ill keep it for the time being. I just cant wait until the guys at Bavarian Motor Werks put a 3rd row in this thing. I will be at the dealer before they can unload the first trailer. (If it looks right.) It actually comes out here in March of next year, but I will probably be in the good 'ol USA by then....

For what its worth anyway, I think the Path is the second runner up in overall looks, practicality, effeciency, etc...Im serious! GX's, RX's, FX's, QX's, etc..(Well maybe not the GX..) comes close to the X in these areas....

Thanks again fellas...Oh yeah, what am I thanking you for again?!?

Because you can. This is America. This is what we do as Americans. Be happy that you can; be grateful that you can; enjoy life and stop over-thinking it.

No. A Pathfinder or an MDX is not, I repeat, is NOT a BMW.

Don't hold your breath. BMW is known to dislike 3rd-row seating -- and good for them.

"Comes Close"? Remember: NO ONE remembers who comes in second place.

Sorry, bozo... not trying to rain on your parade. Just stating "facts." By the way, BMW HAS indeed admitted to be working on a vehicle that is "minivan-like." I can't remember what they call it (certainly not "minivan"), but they ARE working on it. If I remember the article, it stated that it was due to be released in '08 or '09? I believe it was BusinessWeek where I read that. (The article was talking about the risks that BMW was taking by expanding the models they offer and possibly diluting the brand; that's how the discussion of the minivan came up).

So, to recap:

- Don't get your hopes up on a BMW SAV with 3rd-row seating.
- Do get your hopes up on a BMW "minivan."
- Keep your X5.
- Buy a Bluetooth phone and stop complaining that you don't use that feature.

Juan
