[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BMW X5 is a [b]classic striver choice.[/b] Really nice car all-around with [b]classic looks.[/b]

I would bet the car driven by the most millionaire parents around the country is a new Tahoe or Yukon. Just a quintessential upper middle class mom or dad of 2 to 4 kids vehicle.

Some of the other recommendations in the thread are empty nester boomer cars, ex Lexus RX and Volvo XC 60.[/quote]
Classics looks? BMWs weren't supposed to be SUVs. Also, who would want to look like they're making a "striver choice"? Cringe![/quote]

Striver choice put another way: the BMW X5 (and the Tesla Model Y?) is probably one of the most popular choices for smart college educated professionals who make six-figures. It's a handsome looking crossover SUV, not flashy, drives really well, great dealers, and if you're driving a new X5, people will assume you're a college educated professional making decent money.[/quote]

It's also the perfect size. Porsche Macan is too small, Porsche Cayenne is overkill sporty and too expensive. Range Rover Sport and Range Rover (big, classic) are too showy. Audi SUVs are snoozers. Mercedes SUVs are ugly and have that garish logo in the front grilles. Tesla Model Y is probably the perfect car if you want electric, but I'd hold off for the refresh. If you want a gas engine car, X5 is pretty much perfect.[/quote]
