SUV's are the big and in thing and no one ever uses their SUV for an excursion (not the proper noun refering to a Ford). That means that they are only used on roads... You're going to be spending a lotta money anyway so you might as well have something sporty.

If I had the money I'd buy an Element/FX45/MDX in a heartbeat.

Cayanne? Not on my list. I just can't imagine two turbos with children fighting in the back seat.

i saw one of the cadillac srx's the other day, and they are ugly! they look just like a stretched out CTS, which isnt that good looking to begin with. the porsche cayenne is a pretty nice car, when you are getting 500 hp you cant complain.

You remind me a TV commercial by Land Rover which a guy compare the BMW X5 with their Discovery. BMW x5 owners won't let their vehicle get dirty while the Discovery was going through rough terrains, mud, and whatever dirty. I personally like Land Rovers and Jeep (esp Wranglers). They are designed for real offroading.

Just think if you get a Cayene you have an excuse to get 5 point harnesses to keep the little ***** strapped in
