GL for me cetainly the most prestigeous one of them and it really look menacing with that new grill!

Re: Best SUV BATTLE (GL,X5, Q7 etc.)!

This is a tough one!
1)X5 It's as if they perfected the previous one.
2)GL It just looks the part.
3)Q7 If I was only looking inside this would be my choose hands down!

I would say the Gl would be in the middle. It's almost sized between full and mid-size.



How do you feel about the increase in length of the X5? And what are your thought on the X6, if that is how you feel?

I dont have much to say really. X5 looks good but I would never buy one.
Cars in the size of 3er and lower are more my type of cars.

What is it about the Volvo XC that makes it outclassed?

Interior?

Exterior?


I would expect the Volvo to get a lot of votes. I remember when I did a similar thread like this before. A lot of people questioned me about why the Volvo wasn't included.

I have driven the car and it is very nice, but I do agree with you that it's no GL550. But I am interested in hearing your reasons.

I feel the XC is outclassed is nearly every sector. For starters, I've never considered Volvo's to be luxury cars
that compare with the best from Germany, etc. In fact, my opinion (and probably not a popular one),
is that an XC90 belongs in comparsion with Toyota Highlander's and the like.

Furthermore, I'm not overly thrilled with the materials or the stark design of the interior.

Re: Best SUV BATTLE (GL,X5, Q7 etc.)!

Where is the G-Wagon? The real G-Wagon? My runner up would be a Range Rover Sport with the super-charged V8.

Re: Best SUV BATTLE (GL,X5, Q7 etc.)!

Since there is no Range Rover Sport here I have to go with the X5. I love the way it looks inside and out, it is a brilliant BMW.

Runner up would be the GL550. I like the exterior better than I do the interior and I really couldn't see myself driving something so large.

There are some former favorites in the rest of the pile, but none of them really do anyting for me anymore. Though some of them are really nice like the Audi, VW, RR and even the Acura. I could go for the VW, Porsche or Infiniti if forced, but I'd rather walk than drive that hideous, gas sucking Lexus LX570. It is a particularly awful looking contraption.

Re: Best SUV BATTLE (GL,X5, Q7 etc.)!

I want to drive a long Range in the Rover. There are so many awesome SUVs out there but I find the Range Rover to be the most original one. So big, so boxy and elegant. Although I prefer there Range Rover the sport is pretty sweet. Especially with Rinspeed rims.
