We are thinking of joining the SUV (big mofo truck) brigade here and are looking at getting one of these.
http://www.infiniti.com/qx/key_features/interior.html It's made by Infinity (nissan) and comes with a nice sounding V8. Why you ask well in the coming months we are going to have quite a few visitors and really will need 6-7 seats or when we go out or away we will need to take two cars. SO I am considering taking the new car hit on the Volkswagen I have and buying this truck and a Acura Integra (Jimmy will be proud) the Integra will just be used to commute back and for from work and the truck Lara will drive around town (god help me when she parks it) LOL at least this thing comes with Sensors front and rear and a rear camera for reversing. I also like the idea of having a 4WD as the snow fields and mates holiday are not all that far away, and well I think for safety the big arsed 4WD might come in handy. I know i am going to be raped on fuel for this already, But apart from trips and special occasions it will really only be used as a "toorak Tractor" for Lara to do shopping and Lachlan to get to school. As well as a touring wagon and Ski Mobile!!! Thoughts.   PS we are actually thinking about getting a Silver one!!

Looks OK with the grill and rims as per the black one. But I would take a better look at the Acura MDX, cheaper, looks better and only 20bhp less from a VTEC V6

MDX is nice but not a TRUE 7 seater and a much smaller car. Test drove it today!

Got Rice?
But 4x4's are sweet, for some reason people tend to be more certious and more inclined to get out of your way when your bearing down on them.

Get an Excursion.
 No, they've stopped making those, so an Expedition then. Better still, a Lincoln Navigator!

You could always get a second job as a pimp to help pay the costs of fuel.
