Best new luxury fast SUV

I'm thinking of adding a luxury, fast SUV to the stable. It's not for me personally. What do you guys suggest?

I'm thinking a Cayenne, FX, QX, maybe a Escalade??

Its for minimal driving..weekend, going out to clubs/restaurants etc. So gas isnt a issue.

Thoughts?

Why do you want to take a SUV to a club/resturant?

Cayenne Turbo would be nice though.

Lexus rx is nice. The 400H is actually pretty fast. We have a Acura RDX and a Lexus 400H. The Lexus kill's the RDX. Worth a look.

Cayenne is ugly as sin, I'd rather drive the Lexus Bubble Wagon over it. FX FTW, but not the new Gen (Catfish Front FTMFL!!)!

What is your need for getting a SUV?
Unless you have a family(2+kids) or you need to tow something, there is no point in getting one. Don't be another person who drive their fuking suv by themselves.

X5 is nice as well, the RR Sport is pretty quick, and rather baller, but not sure about reliability.

my parents went with the cayenne S titanium, they loved it so much they each got their own.. my dad is still changing his mind and probably going to trade his in for the cayenne turbo..

its a nice car, perfect for people that dont like low cars (6 feet tall), pretty comfy, handles like a sports car (low to ground) and after getting an intake and tune on it, sounds like a beast inside the cabin.. exhaust is another thing lol (way loud)

i would recommend atleast a cayenne S if you went cayenne.. the regular ones are V6 and have like zero pick up, plus they dont look nearly as aggressive from behind, the v6 having single dual exhaust while the cayenne s and above have the double exhaust pipes on each side..

I wouldnt look at the cayenne GTS, its way overpriced for what it gives, for that price of a nice loaded GTS you could go for the 08 cayenne turbo which base starts at 95k but includes many of the things a loaded cayenne GTS has (suspension control, suede interior etc) hence my father probably oging to get a cayenne turbo.. think they are 450 hp? and with tune it was 500? I know the turbo S are 605 HP with just a tune on them.. anywho yeah the GTS is like 400 now and for the same price of a loaded one you should get the turbo for both the same options and way more horse power.

hope this helped.. they looked at all the sports suvs but didnt liek themn
