Well, looks like i have to get rid of my g coupe, because i have to transfer to university next year and it is wayyy up on a mountain, I dont think i can survive Initial-D-ing up there during winter.

Any recommendation for a new SUV or possibly a AWD car?

I have looked into the Acura RDX and the 07 g35x. I went to see the RDX today, not a test drive tho. I am really pleased with the interior and exterior. I havent got the chance to go see the 07 G tho, but i am sure it is a great car as well. They are both similarly priced when fully loaded and all that jazz.

recommend away!

 

the 07' g35 sedans as well as the older sedans hold very well
SUV wise, im not too sure your price range but for me, Id be looking at the srt8 jeep. Those are amazing and are great AWD vehicles.

if your more interested in a car, then id look into the 300c. My brother has one and they are great cars!

 

Thanks for your input mate! But i prefer Japanese cars more. And SRT8, that car is faster than a 07 g rite?

 

Subaru Legacy GT is AWD and from I hear is great. But it might not carry enough 'prestige' for you....

 

the srt8 jeep will smoke the 07' g in my short statement.

 

07 G35x is nice. that way u'll still be in the G family. plus the new G is so much nicer and faster than the 1st gen Gs.
i think RDX is nice. i have seen it and its beautiful, and hte inteiror is top notch (as with all Acuras).
i wouldnt go with SRT8. they are not really made for mountain climbing, off roading, snow.. etc.. as a normal SUV would. they are purely made to go fast on dry pavement.
i think any Subaru is nice. how bout WRX? or a RAV4 is nice.

 

Haha, my sis has a RAV4 already! I really want the 07 G, but the RDX is so really nice too! I think i read it goes from 0-60 in 6.8 seconds! it is pretty impressive for a SUV IMO, but then again it shouldnt really matter to me how fast it is.

 

The srt8 is everything that your normal SUV is but with a 6.1 L v8 engine that makes it very fast. By no means is it going to lack in any aspects as far as mountain climbing,off roading, etc goes.

I do agree on the new G's being much nice though

 

Sorry to hear you have to sell the G... but I see an 07 G35x around the corner in your future

Goodluck with your next new ride.

um.. if u read some reviews on those SRT8 Jeep, you would realize that they are not made for normal SUV duties. they can not tow anything, tire is def. not designed to be in the snow.. its high performace just like a sports car!
the suspension is too low and too aggresive for off road use.. the car just isnt designed to do what a normal suv does. it's designed to do what a muscle car does with more room (and weight).

again SRT8 is a pure on rd, dry pavement, go fast in a staright line machine.. nothing else!

back to the topoic tho. yeah, RDX is super nice. i would def. drive one if im in the market. it's much better looking than the bmw x3, performs better, and its cheaper. however, my #1 option would be G35x. nissan has a very well designed AWD system. it performs and drives like a RWD sports sedan with AWD capabilities/safety when u need it.

 

srt8 is part of the topic

I havent seen the reviews on the car but from those who have driven and own them, they say it handles great and is an amazing all around vehicle (including snow, etc).

The RDX is also a great car, I have a friend who has it as well. Says it is awesome.

Both great cars man, cant go wrong with either one!!!

 

get a sti or evo

 

haha well every car that seems to be brought up, one of my close friends has..
my closest friend has the evo9--car is great in the snow due to the awd and is very fast. Only thing it lacks is the interior but its sacrificed for its speed.

 

the srt-8 jeep sucks...look at the thing it has no style at all...only thing cool about it is huge brakes and a huge enginer other than that...that thing is pointless for daily driving. You would be better off getting a srt-8 300 or whatever the thing is called. Get a FX, X5, or a land rover sport

 

i think the jeep looks cool for a jeep that is lol
