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.

I love driving stick, but they are impossible to find. The worst is the paddle shifters on automatics.

Yuck. No. If hot dad car means hot, then the old stand bys - BMW, Range Rover, Land Cruiser, old pick up.

But when a balding, pot-bellied male lurches out of the vehicle...

Get yourself together. The car is immaterial.



I mean OP’s husband may actually be hot in which case the hot car will add to it. YMMV

Ehhh . Some truth. My husband adores the fact that I know how to drive a stick shift.

We also taught both of kids how to. We also have an old manual weekend car.

Its a low key fun flex.


Ridiculous. Most people of a certain age learned on a stick shift. You're just showing your age.



Sissy.

I don’t think there is one. The land rover is pretty cool, but it depends on color. White is a mom color.

Definitely not a Jeep.
