Please, all you Euro-poseur girly-men! Chevy Suburban FTMFW!

It's my favorite car that I own. I'm on my seventh one. Pile in my four kids, two dogs, and half of the other kids in the neighborhood. Throw in a ton of other stuff, pop down the DVD screen, and you are good to go.

Honestly, with it's weight and wheelbase, it is by far the most comfortable car I own for long trips, and great for around town too. And you can carry a large load of stuff . . .

Q7 was not much bigger in my opinion. The 3rd is only for kids and even they can't sit back there with adults in the second row.

Escalade ESV or Denali Extended would be my two picks.

Did you consider the new Land Cruiser/Lexus LX 570?

i find the Q7 quite a bit larger in terms of space in the back

the Cayenne's trunk space is quite lacking for a SUV, but i find it good enough

If you have only one kid, keep the Cayenne...I drove a Suburban and it is a monstrosity.

However, if you have 4 kids, you need it (and a sedative).

If your not looking to just throw alot of money out the window look at the Mazda CX-9. Several SUV of the year awards and one of Automobile magazines 10 best overall.

I think it looks nicer than the Cayenne and it was said to have "better steering feedback than the BMW 3 series.

http://www.mazdausa.com/MusaWeb/disp...ehicleCode=CX9

I will be getting one as soon as I finish getting every last penny from my Tribute which has been a pleasure for 70,000 miles so far.

Actually looking at your stable of cars, I'm pretty sure a Mazda is not an option. Nice collection of cars doesn't look like money is a issue.Mercedes is probably the way to go.

GL550? it has the ''don't mess with me look.'' i like it.

besides the space issue the Cayenne is hard to replace with. i'm in the mood of a family kind SUV but i don't really need the rear space. i can't think of anything that's better than our CTT we currently have. Range Rover? never a fan of it but the interior is nice.

I have the 2008 GMC Yukon Denali (not the XL) and it is superb. I have had at least six of these in all lengths and colours over the past 12-15 years. We have raised three hockey playing kids, have five dogs and have never been at a loss for room. If you ever do, throw a trailer on the *** end and away you go!!
I'm swapping out the Cayenne Turbo for an Audi S8 as soon as they get the damn thing built. This is/was CTT number two as we had a 2004 prior to the 2006.

Considering your magnificent garage, besides every other nice vehicles mentioned including R63 and Q7, I would suggest G55 Long ... It doesn't get any more exclusive than this !
