Luxury SUV

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?

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.
