From Evo to SUV Help

For a while now I've been thinking about trading my evo in for an SUV, mostly beacause family will be growing soon. My problem is I don't know which one to choose. It would def be a full or midsuze SUV. My dream one would be the Porsche Cayenne Turbo. But 100 grand is just not happenning so there goes that one. My price limit would be around 45-50. I've looked at Nissan Armada and GMC Yukon. toyota seems so have a sort of power shortage when it comes to their SUVs. I want something with power, room and some sort of looks. Any Suggestions. Thanks Guys

I personally love the look of the Armada. That would be my choice.

I traded my EVO for a SUV a couple of years ago and hated myself for it. It only took me 4 months before i sold my SUV and went out and bought another EVO.

What about a wagon? A RS6 wagon could be a lot of fun

To the mods... I think this qualifies as Evo general. I don't see the difference between this post and someone asking about oppinions about buying a corvette

Just go out and drive a FX45, not the 35, but the V8 AWD scooter version. I was impressed when I drove it around. It isn't the biggest SUV out there, but it is definately one of the most sporty ones. Until the Porsche Cayenne Turbo came out, the FX45 was the fastest. It shares the same chassis as the 350Z and G35.

A Corvette thread wouldn't belong in Evo gen, either.

VW tourag, it's practically a porche...

but I would also implore your NOT to buy a Stupid Ugly Vehicle and suggest that you look at other options instead.
