Just curious...what SUV would you buy if you had the choice of the following?

ML 500 easily. They have really nice designs inside and out finally. I actually really like the boring CDI model straight through to the ML63. All are really enjoyable to drive and have a very "fresh" feel to them.

Are you buying new or used?

ML500/Range Rovers depreciate like tanks.

Audi Q7- Good car. I'm pretty sure its based off the Porsche, but the car looks unbalanced, the front does not match the rear.

BMW X5 4.8 - Holds its value, good quality. Plus you already have two other BMWs.

Porsche Cayanne GTS - Has the best interior quality out of all of them and comes with good power. It also looks the best out of all of them.

btw you'll see 100 X5, Range Rover, ML500 before you see 1 GTS.

My vote goes for the Porsche Cayanne GTS.

I really enjoy my Cayenne and my friends with X5s drool in it and wish they spent the extra $$$

It's the only SUV that still feels sporty on a 10 hour drive to Vancouver or the 10 minute drive to work. I've even taken mine on the track before and was rather impressed even compared to driving an ML63 on the track too.

I get great service at Porsche when I do need it too FYI

Range Rover would get my vote from the list, but most owners tend to complain about quality and service.

What about the Lexus LX 570?
Autoguide.com review. (http://www.autoguide.com/manufacturer/lexus/2009-lexus-lx-570-1116.html) Mentions the Cayenne, RR & ML.

Based on looks, I'd go for the Range Supercharged

Agreed, but recently I've driven a few Q7's and they're really starting to grow on me. To me the interior feels sporty like the Cayenne.

I'm not too fond of SUVs that look like cars from the front view, its just weird....ex BMW X6, Audi Q7, Porsche Cayenne...

RR Sport, if you don't mind dropping by the dealership every two weeks.

Out of those choices, anyone that recommends anything other that the Cayenne GTS hasn't driven one!

Amazing truck that actually puts "Sport" in Sport Utility Vehicle.

Cayenne over all of the others. The x5 would be my second choice as the 4.8L engine is a very nice engine and the chassis on the BMW is amazing. The Audi is piggish looking and just isn't fun to drive compared to the Porsche of Bimmer. The ML is an Ml and doesnt stand up agaisnt the other 3. I'm not even going to bother talking about the Range lol.

yah I would definitely go with the cayenne as well, test drove the x6 5.0 earlier this year and damn that thing handled well, but the 4 seats was a deal breaker:thumbsdow

Hahahaha! I always thought there was something odd about the profile, but couldn't quite put my finger on it... that's the best way to describe it I guess.

That alone should be enough to scratch it from the list!

That X5 sounds good, but I don't think it was stock.

I present to you the Cayenne GTS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WP4HyvfW7vA

Make sure you watch to the end where they change to sport mode. If that's too tame, you could always look at Techart or something :bigpimp:

Whaaaaaat?!?!?!

That is the strangest thing I have ever heard? The Cayenne? GTS? Poorly styled? Surely you jest?!

Well, you don't see the exterior from behind the wheel ;)

Again, drive one! All concerns of styling will be forgotten!

Or better yet, trade in one of the bimmers for a used X5 and man-up to a C2S! After all, what's a pimpy realtor without a 911?

Porsche then Bimmer, I can't believe anyone would recommend an RR, they don't even work.

I'd wait for the new Lexus GX though, Lexus quality and reliability rules.

Quite a few of those in stock ready to go, Cayenne GTS, Q7 and even the ML are usually factory orders. UNLESS he went with an RR... god help him:D

you mean x5 M like the new M ...or the x5 with the m package....no to both looked at the x5 with the m package..looked a little dull for my liking.

I will give you a hint....it has an 11.5 inch rear wheel:drool:

x5 M. Just took a tour of the plant in Spartanburg SC. They had a bunch of X5 M's, and X6 M's coming off the production line. Very impressive.

Whatever it is, can't wait to see the new ride. Cheers.
