This one is the cutest, but has she test driven it yet? I test drove a Merc. SUV once and it was just weird inside.
-
X5 or ML for sure
Q7 is nice too

Your wife is a superficial bitch to make you go into debt for that. Do women with compassion and integrity exist anymore?

it's not going into debt if you can pay it off at once.
it's my idea, not hers. we got a kid on the way, and i don't want her driving around in a charger in the chicago winters.
as for the q7, for some reason i get sick to my stomach when i see the audi and vw logo, so i just couldn't stomach it.
-
i like sportcars more but if i had to chose i would take the X6M
555 PS....

yes it shall be faster than the m3!i'd still buy rather an M3

Porsche Cayenne S

Yes, here is the convo between your wife and you about the X5M or X6M.
Wife: "What does this 'M' button do?"
You: "Don't worry, that just tightens the response, of the 400 HP engine"
Wife: "Ok...400, isn't that too much?"
You: "No, just right"
What she doesn't know is that pushing the "M" calls forth all of 555 HP, putting in uninterrupted Man Heaven.
yes it shall be faster than the m3!i'd still buy rather an M3
me, too, but if I had my way, I'd have every gen. M3, every gen. M5, and M6.

Abort the kid, get a used Dodge Viper or a Used Bentley for the same amount of money that you would spend on those other garbage cars.

Or wait for the Ferrari SUV to come out if you can afford it :)

I'm not sure if they have made a final decision on it yet or not...it may still be in the concept phase. It was rumored to be coming out in 2010 though. I'm not really an SUV fan in general, so I won't offer my opinion on it.
-

of course Ferrari has said that they would NEVER do a SUV, but word has come out that they have applied for a patent of a type of 4 wheel drive drivetrain, and also a new type of hybrid drive, and a new engine (V8)

Go with either the X5 or look at the Audi Q7.
I don't know anything about the Cadillac, but i would go a euro badge over an American car anyday.

Why not buy a used Bentley instead? I do not understand some people.

I think TA is just saying that if you are going to spend that kind of money on a new crossover, why not just buy a cooler car that is a few years old for roughly the same price. For example, you can get a 5-year old Viper SRT-10 for a little under $50K. The problem with this is the repair and maintenance costs though, especially for something like a Bentley.

check out the Lincoln MXK

The thing with me is sometimes I just don't feel like showing off by driving by Bentley or Rolls Royce or Ferrari, so I'll just cruise around in the M5. Plus all the girls that wanna hook-up just get kind of annoying too...I'm just like "damn ladies, I can't bang all of you everynight; my cock gets worn out." If I really want to feel poor, I'll just drive around in my Lexus LS400. Its a 2009 and fully loaded, but it just feels so ordinary. I did screw a couple supermodels in the backseat after my workout the other day though.

i know what he's saying, and trust me, when the money comes for an old car, i'll know to ask him cuz he knows his classics. but for now, an suv/crossover is what we need.

test drove it, it was too snug inside, felt weird.

-

i'm not paying it off. i'll finance it.
aside from the house, i save enough for a major purchase (say the car costs 55k), and then finance it. i have more than enough to pay it off, but if something happens, i have the money put away anyway to pay it off all the way through. if that makes sense.

no that doesnt make sense. i understand what your saying. but paying interest when you dont have to ?? doesnt make sense
-

have you looked around lately? with a little sweat, you can get a car for zero down, 0 interest for 5 years. counting inflation and what not, you actually pay less.

Beggers can't be choosers.
She's ( and your stuck) with BMW, Audi, and the ladies choice the Lexus RX350...which if driven by a man his sperm count lowers a hundred fold.

bmw x6 owns mosts subs out there
but I like the cadillac escalade... its just gorgeous... a friend of mine imported one and its just gorgeous
i fell that if the bmw x6 was a little bit bigger, it would own every suv ou there
the new x5 is also pretty damm impressive by the way
the new shifters from bmw are pretty cool and the i drive doesnt freeze as much nowdays... ;D

dont' worry Parks, the rx350 was never an option.
also, the x6 isn't available in M in the U.S.?

Yeah, but the X6M is like 100k loaded in the states when available. Comes out in the fall, but it's ugly! Stick with the X5, it's a good choice!
-

As Torres says, but expect a monster price tag as well for the X5M/X6M. And she might not like the huge air intakes on the front bumper

you guys complain about pricing
the cheapest x6 here goes for 110k
the 5.0 liter engine goes for 150k
i dont even imagine what the x6m would go for!

there is no 4.0 liter engine, it's a twin turboed 4.4.

i got it wrong sorry, i thought it was a 5.0
so its like the 3.0 and the 3.5 in the 3 series?

It's all relative, plus I don't think the op wants to spend 100k on a SUV, when you can pretty much do everything with a regular 4.8 or 3.0 X5.
-
There's no 3.5 in the 3 series. Only 3.0 and 3.0TT.
Next generation M3 will most likely use 6 cylinder turbo, and next generation M5 and M6 4.4tt found in the X5 M and X6 M. Maybe a little revised or updated engine, but most definitely be 4.4 V8TT.

Gotcha!! Pretty much, 335 is one badass car, I got one as a loaner when my car was in service. IMO, one of the most balanced cars for the price, very smooth suspension, fast, comfortable, pretty fuel efficient. Awesome car, I highly recommend it for people looking for a sports luxury coupe or sedan. N54 motor is the shit!!

Yep, but what BMW has done with the V8 is turned the cylinders heads around so the exhaust is facing upwards, and running turboes off of that, I believe the turbos are in the "V", for less turbo lag. This has proved so successful on the standard 5.0 X6, that they have used the same engine I believe and up the boost.

You do realize any of the cars you mentioned for purchase will be virtually worthless by the time you pay them off.
Why don`t you do the smart thing and buy a used Range Rover or something for like 15,000- 20,000. You can easily get one in that range with 15,000-30,000 miles or less miles even.
Makes no sense to waste your money like you are planning.

Definitely different animal, but the 5 series is pretty cool, steering is not as tight as the 3's, but I like it, reminds me a bit of my E92 M3. Compared with the E46 M3, I like the steering of the new M better.

The local dealers crank on the services alone. My wife picked up her Rover S/C today from Anaheim Hills and said it was a mad house. Rovers are nice and have power but need attention. If you dont work and can deal with going to the dealer 5-6 times a year then its worth it. I would buy another in a heart beat. Oh yeah dont buy a BMW you'll eventually switch over to Mercedes.
Been there done that. Mercedes make the most practical luxury performance vehicle on the road today. Unless you are using the car to race all that SMG BS is a waste of money.

Are you kidding? I would have said Fuck it!!! If I paid 70K or 90k for vehicle like that and it ends up at the shop that many times, I would have gotten rid of it no matter how nice it's! No disrespect to you man, but I think the main reason why Land Rover doesn't care about thier relability year after year is because people like you will continue buying them and if they the took a shit you guys would still buy them. For me, they are nice, but no thanks, I'll stick to my BMW's and Porsches, atleast they have NEVER given me any problems whatsoever ;)
By the way, my neighbor has a white SL65 AMG Black Series!

People and all these soccer moms will continue buying them because of the status and "cool," thing to own. Hollywood started the whole craze of people buying this POS! Look around every athlete, celebrity, has one.

I think TA is just saying that if you are going to spend that kind of money on a new crossover, why not just buy a cooler car that is a few years old for roughly the same price. For example, you can get a 5-year old Viper SRT-10 for a little under $50K. The problem with this is the repair and maintenance costs though, especially for something like a Bentley.
And the fact driving the "Viper" around you would feel/look like a tool who is compensating for something.

I believe there were only a handful made with the white color. I think he paid USD 345K or something crazy like that. Me, I would have bought either a Ferrari Scuderia (I love that car!) or a Murcielago LP640.
