The Lexus GX 550 is basically the blueprint right now… boxy, capable, quietly rich.
Same lane, depending on your flavor:
* Land Rover Defender - a little hotter, a little riskier
* Toyota Land Cruiser - insider, understated flex
* Ineos Grenadier - niche, very “I disappear to Wyoming”
* BMW X7 - polished, country club version
* Mercedes-Benz G-Class - loud, but somehow still works
GX is still the sweet spot: looks like you could go off-grid, but also have your finances extremely together.
GX 550, definitely. Also the Defender. Some Rivian SUVs. At least in my neighborhood.
(Hot mom cars in my neighborhood are G Wagon, Range Rover, with plenty of X7s for those in need of the 3rd row and/or little kids who can't get into a G Wagon, and even a couple of Bentley SUVs.)
No guys that I have seen are driving the Cayenne. Some wives, but not many. I've only seen older guys driving the more expensive Porches.
