But the MDX looks to be the best buy, most horsepower for lowest amount, plus they have some cool bike and ski packages.

I'm pretty sure the Cayenne and VW Touareg are identical cars or at least built on the same frames.

Of all the womanly rigs that have been suggested so far, I'd go with the Xterra.

Driving a CRV or Pilot is only a half step above mini-van. I agree, get a pickup. Or a sports car.

SUVs suck and you should not buy one. You should find some form of hatchback vehicle and purchase that. You live in a good weather area, buy a Nissan 350Z.

I agree with mpfunk.

Go with an Infiniti G-series sports coupe.

Or, maybe a Mazda RX-8.

That way no one will confuse you with the soccer moms.

Well I'm all for sports cars, but there really are only four sports cars, Porsche (be it 911 or Turbo or the new suped up version), Ferrari, Lambo or Aston Martin.

A Saleen 7 might cut it, but all else are immitations of the real thing.

Come to think of it, the Lotus is quaint.

For the love of all that is holy don't drop 80 large on a Cayenne. Get an M5 or something.

That's my thinking as well, but my brother just wants me to be an idiot like he is. P.S., it drives great.

You need a certain type of car to make you feel manly?

Take the money you save by continuing to drive your Camry and buy stock in a good company.

If you insist, I think a sports car makes more of a statement for a single guy than an suv. There are a heck of a lot of soccer moms driving suvs.
