    Is there anything on there that's NOT an SUV?

    I like the Range Rover. It's classy, timeless and can really off road.

    CRAZY WOMAN!!!!


    Audi Q7- My choice probably in V8FSI S-Line form. Not because it's an Audi, but I just prefer it overall. But if you have already got one, why not try something else.

    BMW X5- Way too common, new one is imminant, one to look in to.

    Land Rover Discovery III- Very nearly got one but after the Audi interiors LandRovers interior isn't as nice at all. Still good though, TDV6 is noisy and rather sluggish but the V8 drinks a hella lot.

    Range Rover/Sport- EXCELLENT, Rangie-Sport maybe too common?

    Lexus RX350- Looked at this but we prefered the RX450h but it was too much. Maybe a little old now?

    Mercedes R63- Ugly mo-fo

    Mercedes GL- Pointless, go for the ML320 CDI Sport, you'd never no it was a diesel, damned quick. In silver with the AMG styling kit like my ex girlfriend's, you cannot go wrong!

    Porsche Cayenne- Looked at the V6 but was too expensive but meant to be great.

    VW Touareg- Awesome car, facelift doesn't phase me, like it just as much, no little, no more. Great Car, V10 Disesel is fairly quiet but the pick o' the bunch

    Volvo XC90- Very advisable, we looked at one and loved it, just not the pricetag...

    how many times does your mum go off the tarmac?

    if you need to spend that much, for the price of these you could get a very nice estate and have some spare change.

    For the snow and stuff.

    I hear the new Allroad's are rather good, much improved over the previous model.

    Exactly. And in case they live in an area which snows/rains usually, they can always get a 4 wheel drive car. An Audi A6 Avant for instance.

    Another option would be the Alfa Romeo 159 V6 Estate.

    hahaha. no my mum really likes the range rover. i don't mind the volvo but the r63 sort of scares me. and she wants it in black. oh she wants a 7 seater coz my grandparents usually come around and there isn't enough room in dad's car. so that's why she wants a 7 seater. and she has a thing against vans. if only the made range rovers with 7 seats...

    BMW 5 series diesel wagon. It's a great car, bit expensive, but cheaper to run than a 3.0 Subaru Outback.
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    True, Hence me not voting, if you ask me his mum should buy a '98 Nissan Micra, well actually all mums should! Cheap, cheap to repair and Cheap to refuel!!!
