Recommendation for an SUV
 
So my stepdad is in the market for another SUV(daily driver) since the lease on his LX470 is coming to an end in November.

So far on the list include:

Inifiniti QX56
Benz R
Benz GL
BMW X6
Infi FX500

Any experience with any of these vehicles? If not, care to suggest any? Thanks.

well from the ones listed it seems like their is a pretty high price range. So my thoughts would be a Range of some sorts or a Cayenne, my personal favorites. Or possibly wait for the X5M, or X6M if that's what he likes. Sorry no actual experience with any listed.

i would go with a FX50 for a SUV

smurfblu13 08-18-2009 11:45 PM

Those are nice, but no too sure if it is quite on the same level as some of these others being considered. Not taking anything away from the FX, I really like them. But then again who knows, not too much info was given on what they exactly want out of it or an actual price range.

nogoodname 08-18-2009 11:47 PM

true, so whats the price range...i'm sure the FX is up there with the benz prices.

smurfblu13 08-18-2009 11:50 PM

FX is semi close to the R and not too close at all to the GL. I almost see the R class as more of a minivan type not really an SUV. Nice looking vehicle though, there's just something strange about it.

FX looks the best to me, aggressive
it has power, 5.0 V8
it had a nice interior, good lay out
it's an Infinti, reliable stuff.


and F.I might make an exhaust for it

smurfblu13 08-18-2009 11:54 PM

HAHA good call on the exhaust.

But off of power give me a Cayenne or an X5 or X6 M anyday lol. I'm sure even the Range has some balls depending on the model.

smurfblu13 08-18-2009 11:55 PM

But also price range is completely different so I'd hope they give me more lol.


This is what it all boils down to.

nogoodname 08-18-2009 11:56 PM

shum was gonna buy a range until i said get a damn FX....later that day, he buys one....lol

a few peeps said range is not reliable at all......not built well

smurfblu13 08-18-2009 11:58 PM

Well it is in the Ford family lol. They just look so baller. Favorite by far is the Cayenne, a nice GTS or Turbo S model :drool: Def keep up if not beat most cars on the road too. Sick interiors as well, plus german engineering lol. Not too positive on reliability but Porsche seems to do pretty well, so I wouldn't expect anything less for the Cayenne

nogoodname 08-19-2009 12:00 AM

Porsches look ugly, especially the suv model....

FX wins for me

smurfblu13 08-19-2009 12:04 AM

YOU DON"T SAY THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

haha everyone has their opinions, I'm just playing. I think I see a trend here, you don't like too many german vehicles do you?

nogoodname 08-19-2009 12:11 AM

nope, i dont like them...

smurfblu13 08-19-2009 12:15 AM

fair enough lol
