Missing my PowerPlay
Re: midsize SUV?

You wouldn't catch me dead in a Chevy/GMC again. Toyota all the way and give me a call when you hit 200,000 trouble free miles. I've run up 500k on my Toyotas without any issues.

Re: midsize SUV?

What about the new Dodge Nitro, looks like it's built on the Liberty/Commander platform.

Re: midsize SUV?

The H3 is on your range... I kinda like them I'm thinking about getting one for myself.

Lexus also has the RX suvs.... but you'd still get the comments

I have idiot liberal customer's that give me a hard time for driving an Excursion.

I've looked at a Touareg, one of the things that put it on the top of my list for besides it will fit in parking garages. I live near some pretty good twisty mountain roads and the handling is extremely good for an SUV.

Re: midsize SUV?

Mike,

If I were buying a mid-size SUV, I would seriously consider the Pathfinder. No where near as much bling as you are used to but it will not let you down and is surprisingly quiet. I also like the Acura MDX. I think it has less flash than the BMW but is an awesome vehicle. New Tahoe looks nice but is not mid-size.

Mike

Avoid Land Rovers.

Anyone want to buy a 1999 Land Rover before I set it on fire and take the insurance money?

I had an H3 for a rental car a few months ago. I returned it back to Avis in the next town the next day. It's weird but I do not fit comfortably in the H3. Plus the ride and handling was horrible I thought. I had an H2 and fit great and it was awesome but I can;t go see customers in that...probably not a H3 either.

Re: midsize SUV?

the Tourage after getting the needed options cost as much as my BMW X5 4.4i. This is not what I'm after as the BMW X5 is a much better vehicle.
