High end S.U.V.s!!!!!

Anyway, given that you're looking at an SUV because you need more room, but won't buy a station wagon or minivan

Interestingly, of our fleet of vehicles, my wife's AWD Volvo wagon is the most generally useful. It's easier to put canoes and kayaks on the roof, or to load on a cargo pod, than it is on our more truck-like 4x4s. It has more useful cargo room than many SUVs. It has a handy 3rd-row seat for transporting the little ones. It goes fast, handles well, and has decent ground clearance. It can tow a reasonable amount, and works fine on a boat ramp with the AWD.
 
I NEVER thought I would agree with BAE on ANYTHING , but I echo his comments on the Volvo AWD system. I have a Volvo XC, and you CAN NOT find a better all around vehicle. My Jeep Cherokee still gets the nod for the really hard stuff, but most of the time it's the Volvo that goes off road. Have driven the Jeep Liberty on an off road course at the Great Outdoors Festival and the Liberty will be our next SUV. The Jeep SelectTrack transmission that allows both full and part time operation has been bullet proof on the Cherokee. Jeeps are high maintainence vehicles but if maintinaed are very good for off road when its really tough. Have looked at ALL the high end SUV's and really come back to Volvo XC and a Jeep. -Dick

Hello, I've had three different Land Cruisers and they all were great, but this new Mercedes G500 might top it.

The cost sucks though!!!
