Time for the second installment of my favorite car lists - this time, sport utility vehicles. Keep in mind that the vehicles listed are assumed to be well-equipped (not base) models. Click through to see the lists - do you agree?
If I had $30,000 to spend on an SUV, I would buy:
1. Volkswagen Tiguan
2. Kia Sportage
3. Hyundai Tuscon
4. Mini Countryman
5. Ford Escape
If I had $50,000 to spend on an SUV, I would buy:
1. Land Rover Range Rover Evoque
2. Volvo XC60
3. Audi Q5
4. Cadillac SRX
5. Acura RDX
If money wasn't an object, I would buy the following SUVs:
1. Land Rover Range Rover Sport
2. Mercedes ML63AMG
3. Audi Q7
4. Porsche Cayenne Turbo S
5. BMW X6M
I have to give special mention to the new Ford Explorer, Dodge Durango, and Jeep Grand Cherokee. While I personally would not buy these SUVs because they are too big, heavy, and traditional for my needs, they are now competitive due to recent redesigns.
