Yeah, it is pretty large. but about 115K


I think you can get the 450 for about $90k plus tax.

This is the way.

I agree with this except about the better looking part. Maybe a blacked out Pacifica with dope rims would be the exception. The Odyssey looks like crap. The new Sienna looks like a bus.


They are definitely still better looking than Expedition or Suburban. Those are hideous. I agree that some of the midsize ones are better looking, like Audi or Acura, but those really aren’t big enough.

Why prehybrid? The MPG is like 18 mpg in the city, at best. ]

I'd go Q7 with roof rack if it's only a few road trips per year. The rest of the time, you'll enjoy the better handling and fuel economy compared to a Suburban.

We have a Volvo xc90 for family trips.

We have two kids and have captain seats, so it’s spacious, but I’m pregnant with #3 and we’ll have to use a roof rack when we need to use the back row while traveling.

If you have two kids or three kids + bench setup, it’s a nice car.

Another vote for Suburban. A Tahoe is essentially the same vehicle, just not as long. It handles really well, and has given us zero problems in 5 years / almost 100K miles.

We have several friends who drive Yukons who also like them. I test drove one, and the Suburban won out on smoothness of ride.

Get the new Grand Highlander. Is bigger than the Sequioa and 3rd row actually seats adults.

Why not just rent on your long trips. If you only need the vehicle 3x a year it cannot possibly be worth paying $100k for a monster sized car.
