Actually dathrilla (whatever that means) bulldogz has a very valid point if you know anything about this site and the people that are on it.

The same thing can be said for Consumer Reports...and CNET, etc... I can go on and on.

You need to lighten up.

Hell, I thought that was the good thing about the list. They didn't include the Navigator...Man, they've really made that thing ugly. I used to think the Nav was beautiful...now it's ugly as hell...and the mkx or whatever..isn't that a soft drink? Ford/Lincoln....please get rid of those ugly grills.

Funny how GM vehicles that made the list are only for categories exclusive to domestic vehicles.

I want to add to the Porsche Cayenne Turbo’s accolades:

- Ugliest SUV on planet Earth.
- Most ridiculously priced SUV on planet Earth.

LexusManiac,

"Lexus SUVS are class leading BlueDork! You are just hating on Lexus because you know the Landcruiser is a legend. Just wait until TRD tunes it. The X5 and Benz ML AMGs will be dead meat!"

--------
I never knew that the Landcruiser was a Lexus. TRD? Toyota Racing Development for a Lexus? I thought it was "F" : ). So how does a Toyota take on an X5 or an ML(nevermind the AMG)?

Are you implying that your beloved Lexus is a rebadged Toyota? It's funny how you Lexus boys always say Lexus are not rebadged Toyota's anymore but here you have a 'lexus maniac' say something so stupid.

On another note, it's a totally different class beef ball, The X5 and ML is a different range than the Landcruiser. Who cares about TRD and why would they TRD a Lexus?. What is it a sports car utility vehicle? you crack me up good!!.

"Best Reason to Buy GM Stock: Buick Enclave"

how bout a new camaro, cts, rwd impala, rwd pontiac, and ohc v8? the enclave is about as good a reason as the pontiac aztec. gm overinvesting in suv's has been a weekness, not a strength. great article forbes.

The MDX redesign is fine. But they totally forgot about the Q7, X5. As for the RDX it shouldn't be apart of this list.

2nd best selling Luxury SUV in America! Only the crappy RX beats it, but that's just a Toyota Highlander in disguise.

BTW, the MDX is not based off the Odyssey or Pilot or Accord. It's got its own platform. And it came before all those aformentioned cars, so why would Acura want to design their new bench mark luxury SUV on an old platform?

I, too, have noticed a Q7 surge. They weren't off to a quick start, but I guess all the advertising has helped. There are plenty of dealers who have them, but they're hard to keep in stock.

MDX, unfortunately, I see a lot of, also. I fancy it to look like a cow-catcher from the front. Look at the contrived grille!

X5 and GL are nice, and GL is especially popular around my parts. The LX470 was "THE" big SUV to have before the GL450 came out... but the prestige of the three-pointed star seems to thrust all others aside. X5 is selling well, too.

I'm surprised that no one has said anything about the first one?????

A Spyker? That's not even a production company yet that can handle anything over 100 cars.

Forbes is off their rocker.

thrilla - I wasn't making a comment in a negative sense about your nickname...as you will see on this site we have many that are easy to pin out and some that aren't. Yours is a much more original.

Speaking thereof, misunderstandings do happen.

dathrilla:

I concur with you completely, and not just as a fellow American, but also upon an intellectual level and one considerate of editorial accuracy and responsibility. These Euro intoxicants tend to rub me the wrong way, too, especially the juvenile, repugnant ones that act like they have a proprietary claim upon sophisticated vehicular ownership simply because they cannot get over their overly enamored euphoria with their new (barely afforded) Euro toy that helps supplement their lacking inner self-esteem.

If it’s built in Europe, they falsely conclude, it’s a wonder machine. If it’s built in America, it’s deficient like all things American. The overwhelming majority of them know little of what they’re talking about while they attempt to broadcast their alleged advanced perspectives. In truth, what they broadcast is only revealing of their woeful knowledge gaps in general and their fetishes with their personal toys in particular.

Haha, best alternative to the Escalade. Sounds like the "Loser" award. What's the point of that one?

Dal,
I believe he was being sarcastic.

Agent63,
Yeah, different class alright. The Landcruiser is a real SUV, not a soccer mom mobile that can't handle snow.

Foxy,
My comment was to ask what's the point of having a runner up to the Escalade award? It's like having a second World Series all over to determine the next best team.
