I just sold my 2004 V8 VW Touareg and am in the process of selling my 2002 911 Carerra 4 Cab. I need to consolidate into one car and have the peace of mind with warranty.
I have two large dogs (lab and golden) and both of them like to go to the beach and go swimming. I go backpacking/camping a couple of times a year, head up to the snow a couple of times a year, go to the beach a dozen times a year. The back of my last touareg always looked like I robbed a Play it Again sports-tennis racquets, racquetball racquets, basketball, softball glove, cleats, football, etc.
My budget is $50K once i sell the Porsche. My car before the porsche was an M3. I really like cars.
That all being said i'm having a hell of a time deciding what to get. I'm not a fan of the X3/X5 family of cars. The Q5 is nice, but a bit small. The new touareg is cool, but a bit more down market. The new cayenne is gorgeous but a bit out of my price range.
I dont want to buy used unless the car has under 10K miles and is a current body style (i.e. both the touareg and cayenne are updated for MY11, so no 2010's).
I checked out the Ford Edge and just couldn't get over all the plastic on the interior. For 41K it seemed overpriced (looked at ford edge sport w/ options).
I guess I'm leaning towards another Touareg, but i feel like i want a change...
