Poll Battle of the fancy SUV's

[Merc1]

All the money SUVs for me:

Ferrari (It completely smokes the field)
Range Rover SV
Aston 007
Turbo GT
G63
Defender V8
X7 facelift
Escalade V


Then all the rest lol Urus made ugly with facelift.

Good, I am apparently not the only one completely ignoring the Cullinan

It did look good today on tv in one of the royal motorcades but all the new Range Rovers smoke it looks wise riding along with it.

We already have a thread on luxury SUVs and I voted for the mighty G63 there.

My vote here is going toward performance.

I am torn between the Ferrari Purosangue and the Aston Martin DBX 707.
These two are not perfect though. The two elements about the Ferrari that bug me is the horrid double hump dashboard and suicide rear doors, look out of place on such a sporty design IMO. The Aston has an outdated UI and the rear diffuser protrudes a little too far. Other than that these would top my list.

Love this poll. Ironically, my fancy SUV chosen is the least SUV-like of them all.

This coming from someone usually for practical and pragmatic.

I know you'd likely still choose a Forester.

Ferrari. It will likely drive much better won’t suffer from the poor body panel fit like the Aston. The Ferrari has a better interior overall imo.

Well, these are definitely more SuVs with much less emphasis on utility. They're all distinctly road-biased and no sensible person will use them off tarmac. So, if the emphasis here is on sport, then I choose the sportiest by far. Pragmatic as ever.

I know you'd likely still choose a Forester.

Nah mate, those days are long gone. Forester lost its appeal for me some time ago. No turbo. No dice.

Ultimate statement maker:

I think the defender looks better and cost half as much.

 

[Merc1]

The Defender occupies a sweet spot between the junk-built Wrangler and the far more expensive G Class. It’s a little bit of both capability and looks wise. The V8 version is to die for.

Defender drives like a bus compared to the Purosangue.

 

[Merc1]

I don’t see why anyone would compare them.

Weird enough Range Rover is one I am most drawn to.

As for the performance focused SUVs in the list -
I get why they exist, but they still do nothing for me. Rather have a M5 CS and a <insert random Porsche sports car> instead.

 

[Merc1]

The Range Rover looked so good on tv today.

Exactly - this Ferrari isn't anything near an SUV and it's certainly far closer to a GTC4 Lusso than it is a Defender.

Definition of a crossover:
Ferrari Purosangue.

Which is why I love Ferrari. They can do it their way, command way more money while doing it and sell every single one they can build.

And on top of that make it freaking epic too. I had low hopes for this thing when I saw the first spy pics - boy was my radar off.

Yes. The G-Class is definitely questionable. It’s poor value compared with an S-Class, GLS or GLE. Even a used G350D cost more than an a used 2022 S500L .

Not a single vehicle here is about value. Value is irrelevant here.

Ill take a Purosangue to carve up the streets, but I’d be perfectly fine with the better-looking and handling, thoroughbred 812 SF. Would also be able to get one immediately and not have to wait years.

Would need to have a G63 or Range Rover to handle real SUV duties and look a bit less like a douche doing daily errands though.

…I guess this category of automobiles isn’t about thinking logically, isn’t it? But that seems to be the point nowadays - since most clientele will have one of each anyways at some point parked up somewhere.

 

[Mick Briesgau]

I’m not into SUV and mostly certainly not into the fancy ones. So my vote goes to the S class. Oh, wait a minute, it’s not on the list…
PS if I must, I’d go with a Range Rover (the real one).
