Xuv???
what do you guys think about this....tryin to help my pops out with gettin a new "SUV'...so far there is certain winners in every category....for luxury we have decided on the cayenne v-6......for hauling(mainly are boat)....yukon xl......driving clients around something like a mclass or rx300.....and for utility thinking about either a escalade ext or avalance......but then it hit me the envoy XUV would be perfect..its still a pretty luxurious car (car of the year last year base envoy)...nice interior......as for hauling it has a v-8 and is only one step lower then the yukon......its also a nice car that wouldnt be that uncorperate like to drive people in such as say a 4 cynlider ford escape base level (no room kinda crappy interior)...and as for utility my dad really didnt want the label of having a pickup truck soo if u need the room just open the roof.....also we would prob. only be leasing this vehicle....

Nothing halls around clients like a Yukon. Escalade is the same thing. Envoy is ugly as hell in the extended form and I beleive the XUV falls into this category. For size (3 rows of seats) I would go for the Escalade or the Yukon (if your pops isn't to pretensious (sp?) tell him to just go for the Yukon because they both look the same inside). If size isn't this issue go for the 4runner or the MDX. If he wants a truck bed for utility go for the escalade EXT (the avalance doesn't look good with the grey cladding)....

and probably my most fav suv right now GX470. super luxurios, and it could probably tow a manufactured home :P
just my 2cents cus in 1 year (even on a lease) nothing more embarasing then dads clients being annoyed from all the rattles and squeaks.

yea we were worried about the quality with the envoy.....we would much rather have......somthing such as a lexus are acura.....the escalade and denali xl are just too big he says...it needs to fit in the garage and be easy to drive in phily in and out of parking garages and park easily in tight spots...........my parents were almost sold on the srx when it was first coming out then we went to the autoshow and saw it in person....tight second and 3rd row seats same plastic interior as the cts.......i dunno if my pops likes land rovers but ill mention it too him sooo far that gx470 may just be the winner
