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)....

 

ugh, i cant stand the interior of any of the gm suv's even the escalade has waaayyy too much plastic for me.
how about this?!
04 Discovery, nice interior, 3 rows of seats, and it can haul


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.

what about the RX400h? 35mpg, toyota quality and lexus luxury...

 

the rx330 is also pretty sweet. my aunt has one and loves it. it may be too small tho if there are a lot of people, and i dont think it would like hauling very much its only gotta v6 in it. its a hellova v6 but still.. i dunno

I really like the SRX.. It's gotten rave reviews everywhere. I'd recommend to at least check it out

 

srx gets my vote, but the envoy is a hell of a lot cheaper

 

My vote goes for the XL Denali


I have a hard-on when it comes to GM trucks.

 

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
