I am in the market for one of the following cars:

First choice :

2005 ML500 SE
2005 BMW X5 4.4i
2005 Touareg V8

Secondary choice:

2006 Toyota Land cruiser

Neglecting budget, based on reliability, performance, and experience, which one would you get? Has anybody here owned an X5 4.4i and an ML500? What do you think?



If none of the above, would you consider Jeep SRT-8?


Thanks

The srt-8 not bad very fast and probably cheaper than the whole bunch!,...the 4.4i has a hard ride JMO,..and the Touareg V8,..might as well go for the Porsche...I test drove the ML500 before buying my ML55 and it was very nice, don't like the land cruiser to big for my taste.... depends on what you want power/speed or ability to go off-road or both....JMHO...good luck!!

For reliability then 2006 Toyota Land cruiser its the best choice. All others had its share of quality issues.

Thanks for the reply. I think I have narrowed down the decision down to BMW X5 or the ML500, did anybody own both? Any pref?

Thanks
