Stelvio has to be larger then Macan though. As I said, I drove Macan for over a month and it's way too small for me.

Yeah, I just watched Stelvio review. Doug said suspension is super rough. I am in Boston, roads are pure shit here. My Cayenne on 19s rides too rough. If going with performance car in Boston, probably need air suspension

As far as budget, less is better depends on the car. I was winning to pay around $70k for RAM Limited until I realized it's too big for daily driver

I'll take a look at Stelvio, but will most likely want Quadrofolio. And right now I started to put alot of miles......could be scary experience ))
So are you looking for a performance SUV or just a general all around "luxury" SUV?

When I shop for cars, I always look for something interesting that will bring some smile to my face. I had S2000, then I jumped to M235i, then decided to try diesel because I always wanted one. So I am very open, but general luxury cars don't really intrest me....like X5, Q7, GL350, etc. I like SQ8 and at the same time I like RAM diesel ))

PS. Post is not really about helping me pick a car, it's just a rant on the cars I test drove.

Okay, got a better understanding now. You want to buy new? Because off the top of my head I can think of a few good, older models of certain cars that I think you may like. VW Touareg V10 TDI(diesel), X5 35d etc. But I'm guessing from what you've posted already you're looking at New or Certified Pre-Owned, strictly.

Gotcha, figured I'd help a little at least. Pretty good at finding the right car for people, I do it pretty frequently for those that I personally know.

I would prefer to buy slightly used under warranty, however I am looking at some new cars as well. Reliability is also important for me. I wish Defender was reliable....perfect fit for me.
