I hate SUV's.

If I wanted to go off road I'd get a four wheeler ATV.

american suvs for me. japan should stick to cars. thats what they do best.

btw if i could afford an acura mdx and i was looking for an suv i'd probly get a gmc yucon denali.

SubaruKid37 · Sep 27, 2004, 2:15 PM

out of them I would take the Honda Pilot, never seen it before, and looks the best, but to be honest, if i was going offroading, dont get an SUV, they suck, get a LandRover (Freelander is surprisingly good, despite low ground clearance) or RangerRover or VW Touareg or Porsche Cayenne, they are the best IMO, and can go anywhere (have proof of these being good, and other SUV's not)

thats my opinion, but ideally, I would get a nice sports car, and a Bowler Wilcat as well, best of both worlds

(even though the Wildcat is also mega fast :wink: )

None. I don't dig much into SUV's, rather VAN's so probably the Lancia Phedra, Fiat Ulysse, Citroen C8, Peugeot 807 would work 4me, somethin' like that.

Yes I agree american SUV's are great ineed like this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...54659&rd=1 it's amzing but still Honda Pilot the best for me

the thing is japanese SUV's and trucks are made on platforms that are used for cars. american suv's and trucks are made on platforms that are used for trucks. i'm thinkin everything japanese but the nissan titan shouldn't really be considered a real truck or SUV as they are made on car platforms.

Maserati Man · Sep 27, 2004, 9:36 PM

that sierra is nice, i just dont like how the hood lifts up a lot like that, a little lower. that is a really nice truck tho.

out of thos suvs id pick the acura mdx because my cousins own one and it is pretty nice.

Attaus · Sep 27, 2004, 11:26 PM

What about the Nissan Armada or the Infiniti Q45 or whatever.. not in the same class but they are Japanese SUVs.

Dimitris · Sep 28, 2004, 5:52 AM

i like Toyota 4 runner 2005....i don't know if iis just the photo but i like it..

igaboj · Sep 28, 2004, 10:47 AM

4 runner.. has more power, and a better engine... plus, honda isn't really good with making SUV's, they just base them off other car/minivan platforms like rouin said, but for Toyota, a lot of their SUV's are based off the land cruiser, which has been around forever.

Raith83 · Sep 28, 2004, 4:56 PM

after I got done puking out all of my meals of today, I decided on the Acura MDX. It's alot more refined than the two competitors and with no doubt is the best overall. The only real competiton would come from a Lexus RX or an Infiniti FX. :wink:

igaboj · Sep 28, 2004, 9:34 PM

Wow.. actually on second thought (must've been pretty dazed in the morning) i choose MDX.. it's much more refined. But i would take an RX over it

SpeedMuse · Sep 28, 2004, 10:37 PM

I'd take the Infiniti FX over these 3 choices. As stated b4 there are a ton more Japanese SUVs you could add to the list. I'll name some smaller ones not-as-nice-as-these ones: The CRV and the RAV4.
