For those that like SUV, this is a funny one.
If you don't care for them, please don't bother.

I suppose you could pick your kids up from soccer practice with any of these SUVs. But wouldn't you rather rob a bank?

The first ever Concours d'Psycho. On your marks, forget to take your meds, go!

Let's meet the contestants. In the light blue corner, weighing in at roughly the same poundage as a Ford F-150, is the Bavarian Bedlamite and original answer to the question no one asked, the 567-horsepower BMW X6 M! In the dark blue corner, somehow, despite all that al-u-min-i-um, weighing more than the BMW, is the British Bruiser with its 550-hp Section 8 V-8, the Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR! Call her the LRRRSSVR for short if you like. And in the red corner, weighing more than 2.6 tons, with a thumping 577-hp heart, is the Aberration from Affalterbach, Germany's very own Attack Armadillo, the Mercedes-AMG GLE63 S Coupe! And finally, in the white corner, weirdly weighing the same to the pound as the BMW, is the Zealot of Zuffenhausen, the Schizoid from Stuttgart, the Swabian Screwball (I'm starting to sound like Spiro Agnew here, ain't I?), the 570-hp Porsche Cayenne Turbo S! Ladies, gentlemen, start your lithium IV drip; may the most ridiculous thing win!
 
Very very good review. X6 M (and X5) are the consistent winners of the segment. And not by a slight margin. Bmw has nailed them.

I agree with the ranking as well. The Bmw looks delicious. But I would still go with the X5 M.
 
MT calls the MB, BMW and Porsche AWD, and the RR 4WD. What's the difference or is there none?

Also, the NEW X6 M weighing the same as the OLD Cayenne Turbo S worries me a little. Porsche can strike here with the Cayenne mrk 3! That new Q7 weighs a lot less than before....but then again, the Q7 was utterly obese to begin with.
I should look up the weight of the Q7 with the biggest engine and compare it to the Cayenne/X5, but am just too lazy right now and dislike Audi's site with a passion (same with MB's btw). Maybe tomorrow.
