Well how many people do you have? Get something like a ford escape. There roomy, seats 5, good gas mileage and i dont have to worry about you killing me when you or your wife comes down the road on your cell phones-Todd-

thing is... we'd like something for 7 people, but the problem is that we don't wanna drive big fat cars. We'd like something like the X5. the LX470 is also an option. the navi and escalade are nice, but they are a bit on the large side.

GM has some sweet SUV's. If you look at how big they are, motor size and luxury, they are the best bang for the buck. Generally you can talk the dealer down at least 5 grand and if you have a GM family member the GM discount is sweet. My dad bought an 00 Yukon XL in feb 00 for 35,000 when sticker was 42,000. It has over 70,000 miles on it, been rear ended twice and have had no issues with it. Very dependable and I reccomend them to anyone. Speakin of the Escape, I was under one of them about 2 weeks ago and they have the worst exhaust design I have ever seen.
