Lets just say that all of the Jeeps me or my family has ever had was not without battle scars at one point ot another from rocks or trees. Every Jeep we have had has been off road, not dirt roads, literally off road in mud, rocks, weeds, and other crap. Never once been stuck, yet.

Perhaps you should drive one before you make ignorant ass statements like those.

When I travel I rent cars,I don't use mine because of mileage.I have rented two limiteds.Both rode like crap.I did'nt like the way they handled and it felt tippy.If you think they are luxorious then you obviously have never drove a Cadillac Escalade or a BMX X5.

I still don't think that Luxury should have anything to do with SUV's- they belong to the rugged farmer types- not the Shool-run bimbos

I say the Cadillac Escalade, The BMW looks more like a sports suv than luxury.

It does make alot of Horsepower and has that luxury look. What is so great about the BMW X5? It goes off roading better?? If its luxury why would you take it off road of need to take it off road?

it has "that" luxury look? what luxury look? excess or vulgarity? oh, both, ok, i getcha.

whats great about the X5 is that it drives like a good european executive car, therefore better than most American saloons. Who said anything about off-road? Until the Cayenne, the X5 was the best driving SUV out there and is still a fantastic machine.

When you look at an Escalade you can tell its a luxury SUV.Its got ten time the looks the X5 does.In my opinion,the X5 is nice but its too plain.

Tell me sir,what makes your X5 a better SUV than the Escalade.Besides its ability to go off-road?What make any European car better than American cars of the same class?

Escalade IMO (humble though that may be) looks like an apartment block on wheels - with similar charisma. Accurate descriptions include it being a 'ludicrous parody of itself' and not forgetting the 'rolling tribute to excessive consumption' cliche

As an example personified of what makes Euros generally superior to American cars, may I proffer to you that American interpretation/bastardisation of a quality Euro:

Opel Vectra vs Chevrolet Malibu
