Blech. I just don't like SUVs, no matter how fancy.

I do really like Audi's plain ol' wagons, though! So, put it back on car tires and cut the ground clearance by about 70%, and I'll like it just fine. :licker:

It is incredibly cool. But it wouldnt be good for a heck of alot. For the money, you could make a much more fun dune runner, so it seems pointless to me, no matter how cool.

Wagons RULE!!! IMHO, wagons are way better than SUVs. I fear I'm in a shrinking minority, though...

I'm with you!!! Lets do a little comparo..

Wagon SUV
good handling poor, sloppy handling
fast(er) slow(er)
good mileage bad mileage
good cargo capacity good cargo capacity
fun to drive un-fun to drive

As we can see, SUV's suck, and wagons rule

An X5 has almost no off-road capability. I dont really see a place for it. It cant tow a lot or hold alot of stuff. If you need to go to the cottage, buy a 10 year old blazer and a 5 series.

The G-wagon rules off road

As down on SUVs as I am, I must add two others to the "respectable" list: Toyota LandCruiser and Chevy/GMC Suburban. Wagons are still better, though.

compare it to the Audi All-Road... it's like a beefed up wagon, more than a wagon but less than an SUV

Guess you guys didn't see the V12 X5 prototype then. It's a freaking race car SUV that can handle and go in a straightline. Anyways more than half SUV owner never go off-roading. So manfucature build SUV with limited off-road capability and more car like handling. The only way to stop it is to not support it. SUV sales are down this year compare to last year. I still don't get why toyota/lexus put out 4 new SUV this 1 and half year.

There are many types of SUV on the market. Truck based SUV and car based SUV are very different. To classified them as one whole is unfair.
