    Out of all those SUVs I'd have the X5 because it is the best allrounder in this company.

    The Q7 is just too bling for me.
    The ML doesn't doo anything particularly better than the X5.
    The X6 is pointless.
    And the two RRs have a terrible track record for reliability, too much high maintenance imo.

    twould be the Mercedes ML for me

    Maybe the Q7, but there's something ind of vulgar about them
    I wouldn't buy the X5 r X6 if I was doing towing as the suspension design means they eat rear tyres if you tow
    Agree the X6 is pointless and the pikeys in Ratheale have 7 of them.
    I love the idea of a RR, but as was pointed out they could be heavy on maintainance (any premuim SUV will be though)

    None of the above.
    I'd have a Landcruiser Amazon V8 diesel.

    It is completely and it only has 4 seats (if you buy non-commercial) :D.
    I like Clarkson's opinion about it:

    Range Rover TDV8 is the only choice on that list, ther rest are posey pimp mobiles :rolleyes:

    But then I'm biased :D

    The RR is Clarksons car of the decade after the Veyron
