Oh come on dude, what the hell is sport about a SUV. Don't give me "Oh well for a SUV it actually performs well." Wow that's saying a lot.

I'm looking for something with a little class, and still keep a fun edge to it.
If your looking for evo like performane out of an SUV, your dumb. The EVO is one of a kind.

I'll tell you what though. The RDX will sure perform alot better than an EXCURSION or even a JEEP. althought the SRT-8 JEEPS look like a monster.

Seems like every car manufacturer wants to slap a turbo on a car nowadays.

The only fun edge about an SUV is the knife you use to cut yourself to escape the monotony of driving an SUV.

......seriously........ except I have to say those new Ford duley trucks are pretty sweet... and the twin turbos spool up quick, that thing is fast and could pull a house down

As for the RDX... the only 5 point harnesses your going to need are the ones that are on your child seat in the back.... don't forget the netting for groceries

but if thats what your going for I am sure you will enjoy it

^ Yes, trucks rule.

I love having a diesel truck as a daily driver and they can be fast too! The Aftermarket is really decent for diesel trucks. The nice thing is that the drivabilty is still really good even with really high horsepower engines.

The truck does everything the Evo doesn't do, while still being decently fast, and the Evo does all the stuff the truck can't do. A pickup and and Evo are a great combo that does just about everything you need.

dude dont listen to these fanbois. It may not be the most exciting thing in the world to drive, but its prbably one of the best suv's on the market to drive. If i was going to buy one, thats probably what I would pick up

Noob. Not everybody drives an Evolution. There's a reason why people choose a vette or m3 over an Evo.

Maybe *you* should be banned for a week.. or.. maybe not. Maybe you should be beat to death with a retarded baby seal.

I can't stand SUV's in general. Only one I would drive would be a Jeep SRT8.
