Lexus GX

Infinity QX80

Volvo XC90

Do any of y'all have any opinion/experience with any of these. Looking to get one in the next year or so.

Also, I live in a small town. Will servicing one of these be difficult? Will I have to go to Baton Rouge every time I need to get it worked on?

TIA

Not a huge fan of any of those.

Is it for your wife and kids?

Then the Volvo is a excellent choice.

You should refer to the other post about what cars are ugly.

Your answer lies within.

Choose wisely

I would rather an escalade or Tahoe than any of those.

Well all three of those have a third row. Which a cayenne does not. We owned a 2011 QX56 (same as the 80) when they first came out. We chose it over the Lexus because the folding of the 3rd row was better and we liked the 2nd row bucket seats in the QX as well over the bench in the Lexus. Ours was trouble free for the 3.5 yrs and 40k or so we had it. We replaced it with a 2014 Audi Q7 tdi. The audi is more car like and you pay for that. It has the sport package with 21" wheels and tires only last about 20K mi. It has a couple rattles and a few electronic quirks as well with 24k on it now. This is the first vehicle we have ever leased and with the VW diesel scandal I am glad we did. When this is up we will probably get a new Land Cruiser and just keep it a long time.

Lexus/Land Cruiser hands down is the winner. I have one and will never buy anything else.

They also start at 85k. I never really liked the look of the QX but the new Lexus LX570 front is FUGLY

It's called a luxury vehicle for a reason. If you want something for 45-50k, this isn't the thread for you, baw. In all seriousness, they are priced that way because after 200k miles they will drive, look, and feel just like the day you bought it with honestly not that much care. I have a 2000 LC my family bought in 2000 and it amazes me how well it has held up. The quality and capability is unmatched. I prefer it to my 2014.

As do I. Very comfortable and spacious. My mom has a 2015 qx80. The smart cruise has evolved quite a bit.

I have no clue about the others in the op so tifwiw.

Land Cruiser, they are loaded to the gills, built like a tank and extremely reliable across the globe.
