I'd go Audi then. Then BMW. Then Volvo.

Volvo XC90, Volvo XC60, Cadillac XT5, and Audi Q5 are very pretty.

X3 looks insubstantial and cramped for some reason, but I still like the styling.

The new Lexus thing is hideous now.

That xc60 is a beautiful SUV.

The 2018s are, the 2017s do not look near as good. The lots are full of the 2017s.

Audi out of those. I'm just. It a huge fan of any of the smaller SUV's out there. Used to like the Lexus RX, but it's terrible looking now. Mercedes is pricey and went all hatchback with the mid sized SUV's. Volvo has horror stories. X5 looks good, but the X3 is meh.

It wants to be a Range Rover so badly.

She wants more of a Sedan drive than say a 4Runner. Wants something nimble...and I'm going to put trailer hitch on it.

A guy I work with did that with his wife, then two weeks after it arrived he lost it in the flood.

What will you be towing? These options are about the same as towing with a Camry.

I think I would have bumped it up a series if I was going to brag. I've looked at used ones on the next level but it scares me to spend $45k on a used vehicle like this. Just seems like you'd never be able to get out of it.

I have a super light little skiff and 8 ft utility trailer. Super rare though, and for really just a few blocks.

2018 XC60 looks great, but they're not really out yet. If you're comparing 2018s you have to look at other 2018s. X3 will be all new for then.

My wife is about to buy a 2017 M Sport X3 but I really like the XC60 but concerned about reliability.

For 60k you can buy her a 30k vehicle and you a 30k boat

Keep your pimp hand strong. Don't cuck out like this man
