Opinions needed on new car...

If it were me, I'd try to find a way to keep the Z and get a less expensive SUV. For all the performance of the above mentioned SUVs, none will have the overall handling performance of a Z. Kind of hard to take even a Cherokee SRT8 or G55 to autox.

Cayenne is the best, but expensive. I have an Acadia/Outlook and it has 8 seats, good engine, 20mpg, excellent to drive and comfortable for 35k, a bargain.

Lol, what is this a dream SUV thread? Most replies are for vehicles that are twice the price of a Z. What's the price range here?

It's going to be difficult going form a agile sports car to a SUV. The BMW X3 or X5 will drive most like a fun car and not SUV like. It is amazing when you take into consideration the weight and size of the SUV. Drive everything in your budget.

How about the Audi Q5 or Q7?
