Coolest SUV ever?

Canyonero.

…Hey, hey!
Twelve yards long, two lanes wide,
Sixty five tons of American pride!
Canyonero! Canyonero!

…She blinds everybody with her super high beams
She’s a squirrel-squashin’, deer-smackin’ drivin’ machine
Canyonero! Canyonero! Canyonero!
Whoa, Canyonero! Whoa!
:smiley:

Seriously- I love my Toyota Rav4. The 2002 version.

Mmmmmm…squashed squirrel.

D’oh! Forgot why I wanted to post:

The Subaru Brat.
Cool is an SUV in which you can get two of your buddies to strap into two plastic bed mounted rear facing seats in a vehicle called a Brat.

Coolest SUV ever.

Speaking from personal experience, Toyota’s 4Runner is a VERY dependable, capable 4WD vehicle. I had an '89, and put 248,000 miles on it, and my '98 just turned over 90K. They have taken me everywhere I wanted to go,on pavement and off, with no problems.

I rather like the BMW X5 LeMans – it’s the standard X5 fitted with the 1999 V12 LeMans engine. 700 bhp, and capable of 193 mph. With that kind of horsepower, it could probably go into orbit :smiley:

Sorry guys, but the Land Rover Discovery takes the cake. Just ask the Camel Trophy people!

Oh Oh!! I’d go with the one that is pictured in the commercials as driving up huge rocky mountains, through lakes and streams, and across the tundra even though the most I’ve ever seen it do in real life is cart around a soccer mom 5 feet above her height so she can get to the grocery store to pick up some snacks for the kids!

Or maybe that one that’s so wide that when parallel parking it takes up just over one parking space while having two wheels on the sidewalk and far enough into the street so that I have to cross the yellow line to get around it in my car!!

How about that one that flips over if you take a turn too fast? It’s ok for me! Being in something the size of a tank I won’t get hurt! Although maybe the guy I hit will be…

And who can forget that one that has the gas milage of a tank?! That’s one’s a real beauty!

Oh wait… That’s all SUVs!

IF any of you skipped over this one, you are really missing out. I have been drooling over this thing for a year or so.

A SUV that comes with its own recon drone, its own BMW motorcycel, and a submersible chansaw.

Actually, if you want to see a pretty cool SUV, have a look at the Nissan Murano. I’m thinking of getting one of these things. 245 HP, built on an Altima chassis, and it has a continuously-variable transmission that gets it pretty good gas mileags (24mpg).

And although it’s a little small to be an SUV, it has 4 wheel drive and 227 HP: The WRX Sport Wagon.

My favorite is still the Kenworth Pilgrimage. Seats 20! Tow your house!

like I said the 1978ford bronco it is BTW the biggest bronco made at a whopping 5500 lbs. I wish I still had her:(

Well, obviously the Discovery is my first choice. But:

If we’re going by vintage SUVs, I’m going with the Scout.

If we’re going by new ones, I’m going with the Mercedes G-Class.

If we’re going by not-quite-vintage but not exactly new, I’m going with the Land Rover Range Rover County.

I seem to have whooshed you all. :slight_smile:

My favorite is my 1979 Scout II. On the smaller side, the Suzuki Samurai I used to won was a lot of fun too.

I meant “used to own

Don’t feel bad. Nobody commented about mine, either.

The original Jeep. All other SUVs should be collected, loaded into a big canyon, and nuked into non-existence as the worst pestilence ever to infect our roadways.

IMHO

The two coolest SUV ever have got to be:

The Lamborghini LM 002. Three tons, four wheel drive and used the same 450 hp engine as the Countach supercar.

The Porsche 959’s raced in the Paris to Dakar rally.

COOL SUV’s - HA! Want a cool SUV, turn up your air conditioning. That’ll use that much MORE gasoline.

And to the 5’2" inch 98 pound lady driving the brand new full size Ford Excursion that backed over my motorcycle in front of Starbucks back a couple of months ago (you know who you are - the lady with her insurance information PRINTED ON THE BACK OF HER BUSINESS CARD!!) - thanks for the money. Now, go turn that tank in and get a Volkswagen of a Cooper Mini if you want to drive a cool car.

Don’t get me started on SUV’s - there’s about 0.001% of the population who actually NEED these behemoths and far, FAR too many people driving the damned things.

OK - enough, I don’t want to make this pit-worhty.

<blood pressure going down now>

TVGUY,
I have one word for you…DECAF!.
