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

HighestOfHigh · 06-18-2007, 10:41 AM

Of course there is about a dozen more SUV (X3, ML etc.), but I wanted to narrow it down to one SUV per brand.

This is such a HUGE segment. Please vote for the one that interest you most.

Also intead of just voting and leaving, please give a detail reason why you picked the vehicle and what advantage it has over the rest. Of course this is an opinion thread so please don't take anthing seriously.

Please give:

Reason -
Runner Up-
Reason for not picking other models

Reason: The GL550 is the SUV that I can actually see myself driving. The others are excellent choice, but the GL has my name written all over it/ I simply love the way it looks.

Runner up: The Range Rover is beautiful and it’s breathtaking. This would be a closer runner up

Reason for not picking other models: The other were well design especially the Lincoln, Cadillac and Porsche. Just had to make a decision.

I consider ML to be a competitor to X5, not GL. GL wont get my vote, thars for sure.

I'm torn between the GL and the Q7; I've liked the GL from the beginning, the Q7 I've only recently learned to appreciate... those would be my top two anyway, followed by the Range Rover, Touareg and XC90.

GL all the way..its just so nice..with its new big grill..and sporty rimms..
it looks amazing..
plus it can actually go offroad if you need it to

The runner up for me is the Range Rover.. i just love its size.. just like the GL..plus that it can actually go offroad like the GL.. plus it looks good like the GL..
but not as good.. and plus its not a benz.. haha.. so thats why its a runner up..

Why i didnt chose any of the others?

X5- looks like a FL not a new car.. the design to me is allready 7years old
but its still a handsome suv

Cayenne- i like this FL cayenne.. but still it is ugly in a way.. and i dont really like the porsche SUV concept..allthough it is a huge sucess...

Q7- its not a SUV its a bus

Acura- i dont even know what this is?..i dont think i can find a dealer to
service that thing for me in sweden.. plus it doesent look gr8

T-Reg- i love this car.. but its old now

Lincoln, Caddy and infinity.. we dont have many of these here.. so its a problem to own them.. there might be like 1 dealer in whole of sweden
plus they look to american..or to bad..

Volvo- Old like the T-reg

Lexus- this suv is just sad.. just freakin sad.. makes me upset

--------
So there u have it..thats my verdict

I would pick the GL, followed by the Range Rover and the BMW X5!

Anisc · 06-18-2007, 11:11 AM

The Q7 for me...can't see myself in a GL, I hate the styling. Next two in order of preference are the LX and the X5.

This has nothing to do with competitors. Like I said, because this catagory is to huge I only picked one SUV from each brand. In most cases the best from each brand. If you noticed the RX and GX lexus were not included, but they are competitors too.

It all a matter of what you like best out of this poll. That is how I set it up.

I choose the Audi Q7 because it's the vehicle which appeals to me in all ways possible. Love the exterior design, love the interior design and it's available with Audi's superb desiel engine!

Runner Up - Porsche Cayenne. The reason I didn't choose it over the Q7 was because it lacks a desiel engine.

Reason for not picking other models:

Mercedes-Benz GL550:
An admirable SUV in my books, but it doesn't interest me much.

BMW X5:
Ditto as the GL550

Acura MDX:
Most definitely a consideration in my mind, in fact, after the Q7 and Cayenne it would most likely be my choice. I know most think it looks awful, but I really digg the design - pictures don't do it justice in my opinion.

Volkswagen Touareg:
Another great....But I feel it's missing something

Lincoln Navigator:
No..

Cadillac Escalade:
Yet again, no consideration in my mind. Not because it's American, but rather because I think it's utterly offensive, in all ways possible (sorry Caddy fans!).

Infiniti FX:
A strong consideration for myself, but it lacks something from the others in my opinion.

Volvo XC:
Don't like the XC and never have. I feel it's outclassed in everyway here.

Lexus LX:
Much prefer the previous LX.

Range Rover:
I do like the Brit very much, but the fact that it's reliability is just terrible immediately voids it as a choice in my book.

Just_me · 06-18-2007, 01:19 PM

Im not really into big cars and GL is larger than X5. So my choice is BMW X5. Reasons: exterior, interior, the total package.

My runner up is the Range Rover
