Not really. It looks like an egg with lipps. My BIL has a 2015, and there is nothing I like about it..Maybe it needs something up front.

Yes, you can get some serious Porsche HP out of it.
Macan is the same way. My SIL has a 2014 Macan S

I like the looks of the Durango. Kind of boxy with rounded corners. I really like the Hemi that comes with it.

Wife has a Blazer RS, but I have to tell you, when I drive it it is fun. Interior is basically the same as a Camaro, and performance is respectable! It wont break the bank to purchase either...

The Blazer RS and Edge ST both look pretty nice, as does the Explorer ST. Durango looks good too. Most everything else... Eh. Tiguan is fairly nice is r line trim.

I like the last version of the JGC and the current isn't bad. The JGC-L is nice. Drove one the other day.

I thought you were looking for non-rounded designs.

My friends wife had one for 6 months. She loved it when she had it. She had loaners for warranty work as much as she had the car itself. She traded it after 6 months because it was constant issues. I wouldn't own one out of warranty, that's for sure.

If you're wanting a luxury SUV, Lx570 and GX50 are great and reliable options. I'd love to pick up a used Lx570 for the wife, but even used they're nearly 100k.

Thnx.
Lexus and Toyotas are very proud of their products. Always pay a premium new and used.

Yes, it was mine. Bought it new and owned it for 7 months. Only drove it about 500 miles and sold it.
No issues at all but of course I only had it a short time.
The only concern was the huge depreciation hit I took on selling it.
Sold it due to my own “hang ups” in not wanting to drive such a luxurious car in the salt and snow…shouldn’t have sold it.
