I'm a big fan of the X, but it sounds like you are trying to talk youself into one instead of going for what you really want. And the wagon is certainly practical enough for kids, especially when they are younger.

Life is short - enjoy as much of it as you can.:thumbup:

Lol about getting what I want, I'm just conflicted b/c I've been loyal to BMW for the last decade...almost seems like I'm cheating! ;)

I actually don't think I've ever seen a CTS-V of amy kind on the street so I'm not worried about that aspect!

BTW, sorry about the multiple posts! I couldn't get the post to multi-quote!

And who said you couldn't track an X5 :dunno:

Lol, I was hoping it wasn't too obvious!

Not sure I'd take an X5 out to a track!

I'd be tempted. It would do quite well at VIR. I'd luv to pass a 911 with an X5. I passed plenty with an '08 550i.

Oh yeah, they do just fine :-)
There is a lot of understeer but it's still very capable
