So far, especially for a truck I like it. Has all the toys, and if I ever get a trailer will pull the S4 to track events.

Leases are reasonable - 30mos, 660/month + tax with $0 down. And these things come loaded, NAV is standard for example.

If you are looking for an SUV, I drove them all. If VW had better residual, may have gotten one. Everything else (European) did not even come close. (Well, Mercedes is decent, I just hated it.)

Ugh. X5 &gt; LR3 IMO. Are those red calipers in the back??

Drove it. 3.0 is anemic and loud, loaded V8 here in Seattle is 900/month. (BMW dealers are chumps here though.)

And it is MUCH, MUCH smaller. I would get the 530xiT instead if I wanted something that small. At least it has the new engine and handling.

X5 also feels old, BMW is overdue for a new one.

Drove a bunch of SUVs, short listed T-Reg and LR3. Chose LR3 as the lease was less and for only 30 mos. It also has an useable 3rd row, a bunch of room, LR3 loaners when servicing, and included maintenance.

Mercedes is awesome, and I bet Consumer Reports will like it. I hated it for no reason... I think best value lies with American or Japanese offerings... I just could not get there. (I guess I am a snob.)

No red btw, must be a photo illusion. I see it too.

Captain Matt, I be

you think??? the X5 looks like a minivan to me. LR3 looks nice and boxy, like a truck should IMO

Right, checked the out, sporty sure a truck barely. I prefer my XC90 for space over the X5
