German technology is getting outdated now, except for serious sports cars, the rest is....well, not great.

yea I guess it's on the decline. Still by far my favorite companies come out of there. Besides some Italian supercars I have no chance of owning. all my favoirte cars are german besides the Z, but given the opportunity would much rather have an M or P-car.

i have to admit, i am bias towards infinti/nissan's....lol


cant blame me, a solid car is a solid car

oh no doubt, they are very solid cars, pretty much all Japanese cars are. Overall I have just never been a fan of any besides the rx-7, supra, nsx, is, and actually infinity and nissan as a whole, always solid designs. But we digress lol we can continue convo in useless



back to SUV's.........

back to SUV's

i recommend the FX50S

^ good call on the addition of the S. I think for the money this is one of the solidest (is that even a word?) SUV's. Plus they sound SICK!!! We still just need a ballpark price range to zero in on the one for your stepdad

can't go wrong with it....

Believe it or not FX50's starting price is higher than the SUV's I listed in the OP minus the GL. Anyways I am gonna go ahead and add that to the list. As for the Cayenne, my stepdad(including I) hate the interior.

FX interior is no comparison to the others listed

Its not on your list, but I love our 07 Tahoe LTZ. We have had it two and a half years and 30000 miles and haven't had one problem with it, its fully loaded with every available option and was well under 50k. If I had to get another one, I would do it all over, except maybe get the hybrid this time.
