What is the TOP SUV?

The old land cruisers and defenders for sheer off roadability.

Then there's the HMMWV.

fuel costs be damned... I vote for the BMW X5 :evil:

Fuel costs? hell, X5 3.0D... or, hopefully, if they release one, X5 3.5D

Can you say... fun?

Power sliding a BMW X5... scary but lots of fun. Too bad I was too chicken to try it out when I had the chance. All I got was a slight four wheel drift through a couple of corners when I tried to maintained my momentum on wet road conditions.

The X5 is actually easy to slide in the slaloms... but on the road, it's not something to do if you've got a heart condition...

...four-wheel slides count... any car that's balanced enough to slide that way gets my respect, whether or not it can powerslide...

Our current tester can *ahem* kick out with little four wheel drifts, but it's a front-biased AWD and AT... still, respectful. Not quite as playful as an X5, but very very good.

go for the attitude. get the pajero. haha!

my choice: should be 4X4

Less than 2M = Everest 3.0 VGT

Less than 3M = Pajero 3.2 DiD or the Patrol Super Safari M/T

Over 4M = the LC200 with D4D or the Range Rover Sport diesel
