This is the worst segment in the automobile market. Could anything have less style and purpose than this class of luxury SUVs? Nope.

I hate driving. So, if I want a vehicle, I have 3 requirements:

1. Safe
2. I don't want to feel the road.
3. I don't want to hear the road.

If you can give me those 3 things, I'm in.




You're a high powered attorney so I'm sure you have the 305k base price in your change holder or couch cushions.

The Enclave is nice especially if you need 3 rows. Buicks are as quiet as a bank vault and ride very well. That kind of car makes long highway trips very low stress.

My wife and I are looking at SUVs now to replace her Accord with something that has good winter weather traction. I'm not really into crossovers. I wanted a Wrangler Unlimited but they don't have a backup camera and my wife isn't wild about them. It's probably between a Toyota 4Runner and Grand Cherokee now. Jeeps seem to hold up much better (than Toyotas) to all the salt they use on the roads up here in winter. I'm a little worried about Chrysler's record of reliability even though I hear the newer Grand Cherokees are very nice.

I wish they still made the Trailblazer, Montero, or the older truck-based Nissan Pathfinders or Explorers. 4Runner (and arguably the Grand Cherokee) are the only ones left unless you want a huge Tahoe or Suburban. I think they even canceled the XTerra.

I'm having problem with the style portion, its a lot of crap.

I have a 335i M Sport now, its a great car but the kids are getting a little bigger and its just not quite as practical anymore. I don't want to drive a tank and would like the extra room in my car when driving around clients and what not.

7 series are real nice.

ETA: or a 6 GC if head room isn't a premium.

Sorry you don't like /cannot afford nice things.

Typically the safer the vehicle the more expensive....that's important to me.

Just shopped luxury crossovers and Mercedes had the nicer interior in comparison to BMW, but my wife liked the way the BMW drove more than the Mercedes.

My family prefers to roll in luxury in a Chevrolet Traverse LTZ, pimp



The traverse was legit, but we are upgrading to this... Great safety ratings with the Volvo...

That was my guess just have not seen them referred to as a CUV before, just a crossover.

I like the X5 personally. However, my daily driver would probably be a G550 if I could afford it.

maybe you wouldn't have to work yourself into an early grave if you logically evaluated what was truly important in life

Rappers wear chains and flaunt, because they feel worthless inside and think they have to prove their worth by displaying materials.

And what does that bring you except the adoration of the lower class money grubbers("DAMMNNN, Fly ride bruh")

Elevate yourself, don't rely on facades.

My daily driver is the same 1983 CJ7 I owned in high school, 1985 to present, but my wife just bought a Highlander and we also looked at the Enclave and liked it a lot. I drove one of these as a Rental in Denver last year and it drives great and looks the part of a luxury crossover.
