Opinions needed on new car...

Cayenne is the best, but expensive. I have an Acadia/Outlook and it has 8 seats, good engine, 20mpg, excellent to drive and comfortable for 35k, a bargain.

Lol, what is this a dream SUV thread? Most replies are for vehicles that are twice the price of a Z. What's the price range here?

It's going to be difficult going form a agile sports car to a SUV. The BMW X3 or X5 will drive most like a fun car and not SUV like. It is amazing when you take into consideration the weight and size of the SUV. Drive everything in your budget.

My suggestion would lean here first. Then a porsche cayenne, the mercedes suv's are nice as well. I guess the bmw x5 too... but the FX series infiniti, price, features, to performance, you can't go wrong. You will feel the inspiration from the Z cars in the FX series.

How about the Audi Q5 or Q7?
