Default Super SUV
All I can say is awesome [BMW X5 4.6is]:

In a straight line it can probably keep up with my S2000!!

Anyone have one?

Not me, but do you think it could be useful as long
as performance is concerned???(Since it's not fuel efficient) I'd rather take the S2000.

I drove a friend's X5 4.4, and it way exceeded my expectations. Totally awesome SUV that I'll love to own...if only I had loads of extra cash laying around. I can only imagine how much badder the 4.6 is.

Yeah....the X5 is my favorite as well among its class; too bad it's also one of the most expensive in its class!

X5 is impressive, but in extreme cornering maneuvers has been observed raising two wheels!

That's still preferable to many SUV's rolling over during extreme cornering maneuvers! After my test drive, I'm convinced that it would run circles around any other prod. SUV on a track.
