But again it matters what rich yuppies considers OFF ROAD?

I mean "...Over the hills and thru the woods to grandmas house we go." isn't off road either.

Does it snow in Canada?

Snow in Canada? sometimes. Where I live there are palm trees.
Does it snow in the United States?

FJ Cruiser is good choice if you want something funky yet functional.

H3 is for getting groceries and hauling kids to soccer. A bit overpriced for what you get.

If you're not going truly offroad, but want an SUV with some style points, go drive a Jeep Cherokee SRT. A SUV that can blister 0-60 in mid-4's puts a silly grin on most people's face when they drive it. Gets shitty gas mileage though, and the ground effects necessary to keep it on the ground are not at all well suited for offroad. It'll drag before most cars.

For just plain old functionality, I gotta admit the new Chevy's aren't bad at all. Tahoe or Suburban in their latest forms are impressively comfortable and have a decent fit and finish. They also stole Dodge's idea and have done their own version of MDS so it'll cut off half the cylinders when it doesn't need them and get halfway decent gas mileage.

The Dodge Nitro also is pretty cool if you dont really need to get far off the pavement.

Yup, I went. And I've driven the LS460 as a result. It is sweet and does everything it claims. If you want a big huge luxury sedan, IMO it's the best all around out there. For my own personal tastes though, I'd like something that is just a bit quicker. With the 8 speed and the new V8, the LS is certainly no slouch, but it is floaty compared to the 7 series BMW and cant touch the power of an AMG.

Of everything I drove at Taste of Lexus, it wasn't the GS hybrid or the LS that really impressed me. It was actually the IS 350. It has all of the luxury and tech of it's big brothers, but with 300 HP V8 in a car that size, it is a ton of fun to throw around.

great replies. Here is a thought (not suv related), there are tons of 1991 cars coming from Japan at the moment. They are left hand drive luxury vehicles. Apparently there is a tax that kicks in at fifteen years that makes them too expensive to keep. Some really amazing deals to be had. I bought a 91, 911 with 72K Kilometers (about 45K miles) and it is perfect. I have seen a couple of BMW 8 series v12's in cherry condition with even lower miles for around 13 thousand dollars and I was offered a beautiful 91 Bentley 8 with 17K kilometers (10K miles) for 25 thousand dollars. Just about all of these cars are Euro spec and have been altered to Canadian spec. I am sure they are available in the US. If you want pure luxury for an amazing price, you have to check these cars out.
