Help me pick a SUV!

henryyxyu · 09-14-2009, 11:11 PM

I narrowed my choices down to these:

-BMW X3/X5
-Infiniti FX45/50
-Range Rover Sport (NA vs. SC)

no clue which to choose.

edit: I'm probably going to do exhaust work too and i like what many ppl on this board are doing, getting bolt-on midsections. Looked around google and im getting nothing. im not sure if no other cars have bolt-on applications? or I'm just searching the wrong things...(I'm googling ([car] bolt-on midsection)

I really like the new X5 so that one gets my vote.

MisterSkiMask · 09-15-2009, 12:26 AM

My favorite (Cayenne) isn't on the list, so the one I choose (and ordered) is the X5d

Boost Gomez · 09-15-2009, 01:01 AM

Get the 2010 Range Rover Sport Supercharged. 510 hp. Same engine as the XFR, XKR, etc.

c0nstant · 09-15-2009, 01:29 AM

the RRS, imo

LI E90 · 09-15-2009, 09:25 AM

+1

Get the X5 with those really good looking, upgraded wheels that come as an option from BMW. Those wheels are SEXY!

crooked I · 09-15-2009, 09:47 AM

X5 M!!!! cant go wrong with that

MisterSkiMask · 09-15-2009, 10:00 AM

If you get the RR, lease it and give it back before the warranty is up.

You have left out the best handling SUV on sale, the Audi Q5.

graider · 09-15-2009, 11:25 PM

fx50 or even fx35 over those.

or outside of your list, X6 35i, 50i

if you are baller, x6m

py0413 · 09-16-2009, 01:19 AM

my vote goes to X5!
2nd choice fx50

not a fan of land rover as always

dirtyylicous · 09-16-2009, 03:29 PM

Range Rover all day

texasbmw325i · 09-16-2009, 07:48 PM

2010 range rover sport.

KonigsTiger · 09-16-2009, 09:54 PM

X5 out of those. Like the new ML better than those three though.

Nezo86 · 09-17-2009, 04:21 AM

X6 50i FTW!

asian010 · 09-17-2009, 05:00 AM

Range Roverrr

It depends what you want/need out of the vehicle... Once you answer these things it completely changes what should be suggested. People are just throwing out random answers:

If reliability is a concern:

Throw out the Land Rover anything, forever. Don't even say the words...

If off road capability is a concern as well:

All these options suck and anyone that questions that is an idiot

What would you like to spend? Are you buying used or new?

A new X5 with options and all the good stuff gets up to almost $80,000... If I had that kind of coin to spend I wouldn't be buying anything on this list.

but hey... most people that buy cars just go to a dealership and pick something out and buy blindly... so the next question is...

Do you plan to shop like a moron or someone with a brain?
