Why not X3M Comp or GLE or Cayenne or Macan
Well, I think the original question was "what car do you find worthy" ...at a given price point. That gives me broad discretion on my answer.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
X3M- Generally I don't like the maxed out versions of lesser cars, especially SUVs. Also, I think it's ugly. Since you asked. (I have exceptions, I bought a GLA45 which was great, and I like the M2/M1). If you're going to spend the money, upgrade to the base model of a better platform. BMW is guilty of this, although I often gave a pass to MB because they used V8s in their AMGs.
GLE- sure, but I've had a few Mercedes and I'm not interested in another one. It's good, but boring and uncool.
Cayenne/Macan etc- I grew up watching GM brand engineer the shit out of their lineups, and I can't countenance VAG doing the same thing today. You see a Macan, and I see a VW Taos or Tiguan or whatever...or at best an Audi Q5. It's cynical brand whoring. With the Aventador gone, all of their cars are badge engineered except the 911 and the cayman.

I really like the defender. It’s neat.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I don’t like X3’s
GLE’s are nice but I think the X5 is a better base package.
Cayennes are supposed to be great, but I don’t really buy into the pCar hysteria.

Explorer probably better mechanically than an X5 or whatever euro thing is supposed to be comparable. The lincoln version probably slightly better touch-points. Sounds like it should work.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
How did this thread go from GT3RS to a bunch of old farts talking about EV SUVs?
Looks awesome, I look forward to bagging one around the track in Vegas.

Does ford make any engines that don’t fall apart yet? Not cheap to fix. Don’t fall apart.

Someone needs to get an allocation so we can do a Beyond fractional ownership type of thing on it.
Also @ganesh the Defender has a lot more legroom and headroom than those other SUV's as well. It was a big selling point that the passenger's seat didn't need to all the way up to not get kicked by a toddler in a car seat. Plus it's a cool looking, ultra-capable vehicle that will hold its value better than all those other SUV's.
I like the defender more and more as I look into it.
