Skip the ML500

The ML63 AMG is soon to be out within a few months.

510 NA ponies........and after seeing it at the Chicago show last week....it looks good too. The ML63 AMG will be German built along side with AMG.

All of the above mentioned are cool trucks.

I went with the X5 for its performance and looks. It looks meaner than any of the others and probably outhandles them too!

My very biased opinions:

X5 is a girl's car and is as ugly as every other BMW.

ML is a girl's car.

Escalade's are for pimps.

LX430 is at least 20 years old and shows.

The RR Sport is not nearly as nice as the RR but it is sportier. It's a truck though, so RR wins hands down.

If you want sporty, Cayenne Turbo is the winner.

The new GL "could" be a great competitor to the RR.

I looked at the Lexus GX. Not too bad for the $$. Only 263hp, weakest of the group.

The Cayenne Turbo would be my first choice but we're getting up to $100k for an SUV.

I like the Jeep but only has a 3500lb tow rating. I was hoping to at least pull my alum. flat bed with my vette or viper on it.
