I keep telling him this. He's also looking at SUV's designed for a family of four which will be driven around by one (1) person most of the time, which I don't get, but hey, whatever makes the Tall guy happy :)
Those Escapes are great little SUV's; just don't make me sit in the back of an Escape NYC taxi again, FOUR wide in the back, with TT, SigJus, and D-Ct. Holy claustrophobia attack. I love the move to the hybrid taxis, but there is no room in the back seat of those things once you install the partition.
Cr@p. OK.
Ban me now, but for two people, a dog or two, and gear, I can't get this out of my head:

It's so un-trendy that I think it's come full circle to being baller again.
heck yeah, those CTS-V wagons are great.
2009ish 4-Runner??
indeed. I'd stay the HELL away from Hennessey, but this thing is pretty rad:

@Caleb - wow, just yesterday I Googled up that CTS-V in thinking about Josh.
The cts-v wagon gives me semichub.
Toots - look at the Toyota Land Cruiser (or lexus equivalent) or just for fun, the Ford Flex.
I don't know what made me think to look this up, but what a story:
Mrs. Orcutt's Driveway - Feature - Car and Driver
TT - I'm in the same situation. Looking for an SUV, drove the Grand Cherokee and it was a really impressive truck. I'm (trying) to wait for the diesel because the 28 mpg highway is impressive and kills the mpg of my car even. I've never been a domestic car guy, but I have a buddy and Jeeps are all he's owned. Loves them and doesn't have any real horror stories around reliability. Based on that, I might give it a shot.
Test-drove a mid-range Flex the other day. Surprisingly fun. Kids enjoyed the back seat (and all three can fit in the second row, leaving lots of space in the rear).
If I can find a good deal on one with the options I need/want, I may bite. Any other opinions on this?
I'd give a pinky finger for a full on land cruiser.
Ouch, I recall seeing the Cadillac Hammer video sometime back. I believe they even added electric cutouts just to scare the little kids at stoplights baller for sure.
Every Flex owner that I know (4 or 5?) absolutely love(s) it. My sister has one with the twin turbo and it's damn fast and pulls their 23' MasterCraft around northern Michigan just fine (tow rating be damned - but we devise those in Laughlin, NV or Silverthorne, CO - both of which are far more severe than anything you'll find in Michigan). The captains chairs are are also recliner-like in their comfort.
Then there are the looks. Tolerate them or hate them seem to be the range.
