Whats the price range? Thats the biggest thing.

If you got the money- I love the BMW X5 (preferably the 4.4 or 4.6).

Explorer is a good choice, I'm not a big fan of grand cherokees. but the ultimate pick has to be the Cadillac Excalade imp: imp:

Infiniti FX35 if the $ range is between 30 and 40K, or Infiniti FX45 if $ range is between 45 and 55K. The FX45 is the fastest SUV, faster than the Porsche Cayenne S. And it comes standard with 20s. It looks so different (but still awesome) that it is worth it. If you dont like the FX, go for the Murano, that thing has pretty good styling with a decent engine in it.

The BMW x5 4.6 also comes with 20's stock and a nice 320hp v8 to back it up.

If you want a Nissan, the Pathfinder is an awesome SUV.

RANGEROVER ENOUGH SAID! Erthang else is played out, erbody knows if you cop-a-range you a big balla...yeah I know they retail at like 70K but hea in Cali in Santa Monica they have a dealer that sells them for cheap as fak man I dont know y? but I asked one of the guys that works there and he said Ranges are like caddy's great cars to have and drives great but! they drop in price so much after sold off...b.c. I saw a 00 Range thats the best lookin ones I think, it was sellin new for like 67K and now with only 36K miles on it sells for 27K das a great price, if you cant afford a range go and get cho self a Landrover same ish basically

SUVs just take up too much space and are impractical to begin with. luxery SUVs are the worst though! FX, x5, rx300, ML___, none of these choices even come with 4wheel drive!?! wtf is that?!

so if you're gonna get an SUV and actually ****in use it like an SUV, get the jeep. those things are made for offroad other than that ***** ****.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh and **** escalade.


or jus get a subaru.

Land Rover Discovery. My sister has had 2. A '98 SE and she just traded it in for a '03 SE-7. Nice truck and they'll kick any other SUV's *** off-road. They're not used in the Camel Trophy race for nothing.

I'm saying a couple of them for a few reasons..

Porsche Cayenne - Speed

Acura MDX - Honda reliability

Hummer - Off roading

GMC Yukon - for big pimpin.
