^^^ I assume it is funny because it is big and does not handle like the X5. Although the drive of it on the highway is better than any vehicle my wife or I have owned. We go to CO several weeks a year (8 hr drive) and our Lexus LX (same as the Land Cruiser) blows away the X5 she had. Huge difference in highway comfort and gets down trails to spots we go much, much better. When zipping around town I thought the X5 wins hands down. Significantly better handling. She still prefers the plush ride.

Boss,
The X5 sound like a great fit. When comparing fuel economy you can not forget the opposing factor, performance. The Inifiniti blows the X5 3.0 out the water with 390hp and a 5.6 0-60. The bimmer is pretty slow at only 7.8 0-60, Even our Lexus tank is faster at 7.4.

Handling, it is great. Gas mileage, it is good. Engine is a little weak. I would have been much happier with the V8 but than that opposing factor of poor mileage would have kicked in.
