Luxury SUV

[cardo]

X5 is a great choice!!!

Anyone saw the episode on top gear where a land rover(super sport or something with 20inch wheels) went offroad and challenged a tank? -That is to chase it(jeremy driving the LR) around in the mud and target him if they(the tank) can.

It was amazing!!! I never thought it would be a worthy off road machine but it was!!!

Mura lang naman auto sa Tate kumpara dito, wala ring mga kidnapper diyan kaya bakit hindi?

First of all, assuming you live in the US, opt for the higher end vehicles since it would not raise any eyebrows there and wont rattle the saber of kidnappers as is the case in the Philippines. Plus provided one has a good credit rating, credit is quite abundant in the US, so your dream car is one step closer now.

Imo, get the Lexus RX330 or better yet the RX hybrid (which is a sell out in the US-just like the case of the Fortuner in Asia).

Volvo XC90 looks soooooo boring inside and even the outside is bound to incite a yawn soon.

X5? I think they are readying a complete replacement very soon. I think fall of 2006, in time for the 2007 model line-up.

Murano, Pathfinder? Errr...these vehicles are way too big for me. Chevy Suburban wannabe, their size, that is.

I also read an article that Toyota/Lexus is still best in terms of quality and reliability in the industry, while BMW has slipped in the quality department.

are you sure about that? maybe your talking about the Pathfinder Armada. Murano ain't no Suburban wannabe.

x5 got that issue coz the x5 was assembled in south carolina n not in germany that's why it got the bad rep. but i think they got their acts together already.

Its probably the Armada that I was referring. However you can't help but be confused by one model for another model since they look very similar appearances.

i had the same thought that its probably the armada you are referring to. they are big and wide.

the new pathfinder looks bigger than it looks. i know this since one parks next to mine at work.

it could be that it doesnt look big here since suburbans, hummers, and other full size suvs are common here.

rediesel, u may also consider this one...

dba bankrupt na range rover, close na plant nila so range rovers should be sold na mura kasi mawawalan na ng service at pyesa yan.

mga bossing can't afford yang RR na yan.

pag bibili na ako max would be 40, preferably nga 35 (kasi with taxes and accessories aabot ng 40 yan), 45 would be a stretch already (probably I need a very very good reason)

[gwapito69]

Armada is ok. malaki and maganda ang makina or 4runner na v8 4x4 kaya

I guess an Acura MDX would fall in that price range. For me, I prefer the exterior styling of the MDX better than the Lexus RX330. And if you have the extra cash, go for the high end model, you wont regret it.

rediesel: I think kung gusto mo ng sulit talaga na luxury suv just get the LEXUS LX470 sulit sobra tong sasakyan na to it never breaks down tsaka ride at comfort sobrang ok ! makakatulog kna khit ikaw nagdridrive tahimik pa etc etc at capable pa mag offroad kasi land cruiser rin talga siya e ..... kaya ko nasabi to kasi based on experience may kabarkada ako nakaganito dito sa pinas at pag angtatagaytay kmi minsan ako nagdridrive wala talga ako masabi 2000model pa yng kanila pero till now wlang problema ! parts lang kung nabangga pero since nasa US ka naman you wont have a problem! mga euro cars kasi pag balak mong patagalin sayo sakit ng ulo na e at least lexus is a japanese brand na kahit 10yrs or more pa sure ka na ok pa to !

anyways just an opinion hehehe pero kung ayaw mo nito range rover, x5 at xc90 ako hahahahha or wait for the new M class

[KCboy]

new ml out already, i still think the x5 is better than the new ml.although the new ml is way better than the old ml in terms of looks n engine but the old ml was a better offroader.

[voltes_V]

Starting price for a brandnew Lexus LX model would be around US$67K++. If this will be the 1 you choose, pwede bang pasakayin mo ako pre. Dream car ko ito eh hehe.

[109]

or Lexus RX para mas mura.......$40k

[Ungas]

It seems you guys missed out on MB M-class. But its way too much overboard for $40K target.

[empy]

what's your price range, anyway? i've seen suv's mentioned here on this thread that range from $40k to over $85k

[kmo]

ok tuminign ako knina hehe ito ata ok e i think yung bagong HUMMER H3 kasya sa budget mo na $40000 saw it na below $30000 lang yung price nya !
