the Range is a beautiful SUV, but the cost of ownership is just too high! they are a maintenance nightmare. if you get one, just lease it. and be prepared to be driving a loaner on a frequent basis.

x6 is cool looking crossover, and has that great BMW feel. do a search for top gear review of it... GC is not a fan, but the video is pretty funny.

E550 coupe, the newer twin turbo version. I think it will be a good bang for the buck in the future after a simple tune for not being an AMG. Its got a beautiful interior with the pano roof and a smoother ride with all that power

I would probably replace her with either a 911 turbo or another benz. The GF wants an E coupe already...

If something happened to my 05 CLK55, I would look for another one. Otherwise, on the high end, wise E9x M3, C63, or 997 911. Or I may just go cheap, and look for a decent C32 if any still exist.
