    Your suggestoin for a SUV

    The wife is hell bent on buying an SUV- for all the wrong reasons- like show
    off-- be fashionable- be trendy etc..Looks like i have to bite the bullet
    and get her a brand new or slightly used SUV.
    I looked into the market and every compnay has many SUVs each. I am
    confused and am afraid I will make a poor decision. Please share your
    thoughts and experiences. I would really appreciate it. For reference - I
    have a 96 Infinity G20, 94 SaabAERO, 92 OLDSMOBILE Silhouette.

    Purpose of this SUV:
    The purpose is not to perform "OFF-THE ROAD"
    The purpose is not to "TOW" boats or other massive loads.
    The purpose is simply vanity.
    SIZE;
    We are four people in the house- Me - Wife- and four grown up children- SO a
    5 seater is plenty.
    MOSTLY USED FOR:
    Drivingto work - 15 miles away- on high ways mostly
    WHAT I WANT OUT OF THE SUV:
    fun to drive- reliable and not too expensive to maintain-
    I don't care about gas mileage-
    I don't care about US or foreign make-

    Please reply to my email address.

    P.S:
    I heard that the Mercedes Benz ML series SUV is a pain to own.
    I heard that the FORD EXPLORER had several problems in the past.
    I heard the LAND ROVER is a lousy vehicle to keep and maintain.
    I heard that the Toyota line is good - reliable- but boring vehicles to
    drive.

    Cadillac Escalade! As far as I can tell, they blow away everything else on
    the road for ostentatious styling, vanity, size, and intimidation. Also, I
    think it fits fairly well with not caring about gas mileage. Plus, it's a
    Cadillac.

    Just to correct you, for what its designed for the landrover is THE
    offroader... However for what you want you would be better off getting one
    of the Fake 'suv's' as u choose to call them, probably a 2 wheel drive
    Honda HRV (I think thats the 2 wheel drive)

    typical Jap build Quality and bullitproofness.. looks the part, but less
    bits to go wrong..

    Have you considered standing up to your wife and telling her that she
    doesn't need it and she's not going to have one?

    If standing up to her isn't a possibility, perhaps, you should buy her a
    Hummer. it's big, it's chrome and it will carry the six of you.

    Get a nice Volvo 960/940T/V90 wagon.... if you go used, or a V70 2.4T/T-5/R
    AWD if you want to go new

    It has SPORT - 180+ hp in case of the 960/940T 210-300hp in case of the V70

    It has UTILITY - 74 cubic feet of cargo space, or room for 5 people and
    still a lot of cargo... a bit less in the V70s I believe

    it is a VEHICLE.... well what else would it be?

    and if you wife yells and bitches and moans and screams about the sheer
    PROSPECT of owning a wagon..... tell her it is a hell of a lot more
    fashionable to be driving around in something that not everyone and the
    woman next door is driving. Not to mention Volvo wagons are far more capable
    then most SUV's... Ohhh and BTW Volvo also makes a new SUV called the XC90
    which has won a few awards, and is quite nice inside... the V70 is nicer
    tho.

    Oh and don't forget VW... they have the new Touareg SUV coming soon....
    seems AWESOME... for and SUV that is.

    Consider a Subaru WRX wagon. SUV-like, 4WD, goes like hell, high quality
    construction, and about as much fun as you can have in a car with your pants
    on.

    You can get a Bradley Fighting Vehicle for about $550K. Seats 4
    comfortably. Great safety for you and your family (at the expense of your
    fellow motorists, but if your set on an SUV, you don't give a shit about
    your fellow motorists in an accident anyway).

    Fuel mileage might be a concern, but again, if you're going to buy an
    SUV you don't give a shit about fuel economy, the environment or your fellow
    human beings. Screw 'em all and go for the SUV. Feel like Grizzly Adams
    during your commute.
