Need advice on either an FX50S/X6 5.0/RRS Supercharge
The lease on my FX45 is up and I'm looking at these three new vehicles. I want to probably lease but not oppose to buying it outright. Can you guys give me some feedback and/or experiences with either one of these SUV/SAV? What would be the better choice? I'm open to looking at any other SUV or crossover that's not listed, if you recommend. Thanks guys.

GO with the X6 5.0 TT.. you can tune it and it will wipe the floor with most anything else.

ldangeli had his speedshift on his ML63 break....TWICE.
Personally I'd go with the Cayenne GTS, no need to blow the doors off anything in an SUV/SAV. Though I'm sure the X6 5.0 is brilliant.

I've driven my friends Porsche Cayenne Turbo a few times (made his dog puke) and wasn't very impressed. I've driven the X6 35. Liked the interior more, drove nicely. Needed power, but the 50 will have that. Never driven the FX50, but it is a relative bargain. The Infiniti Nav/graphics/control collective is very nice.

No offense, but I can make a better truck out of recycled fishing equipment. They actually had to hang weights on the corners near the suspension to harmonically balance the RRS, and that's one of the compromises that they'll ADMIT TO. Not very well built.

CTS-V
I know it's not as elegant or luxurious as some of the aforementioned models, but what about the Jeep SRT8? You can pick one up for pennies on the dollar these days, and it's pretty darned quick.

The SRT-8 is a nice 1/4 mile machine, super fast, but I think any of the 3 he's mentioned are much more refined, kinda the total package. I would go X6, call me stupid but I love the way it looks, just saw one the other day up close, and it is sexy as hell, it's crazy. And the 50 is quicker almost than the Cayenne turbo, and quicker than the FX50 or RRSS. The numbers it pulls on the skid pad and slalom are also crazy, would put most cars to shame. The GTS is kinda cool though, especially with that stick, but overall I think the X6 50 is the way to go. IMHO. Good luck.
