AtomicSkier Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 I think the new Jeeps GC's are pretty badass looking. Â Same with the new Range Rover Sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poconoceancity Posted September 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Jeep is a top contender, there is an altitude package that blacks it out. But the options are limited on it. I haven't driven one of the Range rover sports. I'll put it in the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicSkier Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 The new RR Sport is actually "sporty" compared to the old version. Â I drove a friends...worth a test drive for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burton71 Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) no those porches suck. ive driven one. for an suv its garbage. for a big sports car its ok. even then its still garbage. just get the grand cherokee. things have definitely stepped into the luxury game. if money really isnt a problem get a mercedes. glk or something  Uh no, Cayennes are great on and off road.  And get the hell out of here with the sex in the city GLK...lol.

Shadows Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 I dont care burton....its a porsche suv lololol. I dont get the sex and the city reference. Â And rr cost almost a grand to replace fancy valve stems. If pococity has money for those kinds of cars i dont think most people on here can offer more than opinions. Get whatever you want.

Â Porsche makes excellent cars...and their SUVs are no different. Â It is by far the best on road SUV as far as driving dynamics go and it does plenty well off road. Â I've owned two and have plenty of seat time in every other SUV in the class. Â Â The GLK was released along side and was in the Sex in the City movie. Â It is built on the C Class platform...it is basically a small lifted C class wagon for soccer moms who need to drive on the grass or gravel driveway occasionally. Burton71 knows he's a baller...I think he has a Lotus... Sold the Lotus a while back as I just don't have time to track it anymore. Â Been driving a TTS the past couple years.

poconoceancity Posted September 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Every time I look at a Porsche SUV I want to by a cayman instead. Probably not a good ski car for a family of 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poconoceancity Posted September 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Shadows, the last 10 times that I've bought a new car I knew exactly what I wanted and went out and bought it. This time I don't love anything, so I like hearing everyone's opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burton71 Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Every time I look at a Porsche SUV I want to by a cayman instead. Probably not a good ski car for a family of 5. With a rack on a Cayman you could get 2 people in the car, 1 in the front truck, 1 in the hatch, and 1 on the roof. Â Not ideal but it could work. Â The Audi SQ5 would be another fun option for a bit less. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â It cornered better than the XC60 but overall comfort and turbos is better in the Volvo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poconoceancity Posted September 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 The audis adaptive cruise control pretty much drives itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootDKJ Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 I don't like cruise control. It's pretty dangerous.Have you cleaned your car interior yet? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poconoceancity Posted September 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Doug, Google adaptive Cruise Control its safer than regular cruise. Its great in stop and go traffic, under 30 the Audi drives itself, you could sleep behind the wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poconoceancity Posted September 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 It has cameras that detect lanes, even road signs and adjust to changes in speed limit. Radar to detect cars in front and adjust the gap all the way down to zero mph. I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't experienced it. Google Audi adaptive cruise and watch the video it's amazing.

phillycore Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 The adaptive cc in our cars don't use rubber magnets but sensors in the bumpers that measure distance. Even the ldw doesn't have anything to do with magnets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indiggio Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Our Subaru has the EyeSight system that uses two cameras on either side of the rear-view mirror to perform adaptive cruise control magic, amongst other feats. Â It's a bit unnerving when you first use it, as you want to put your foot on the brake but then it kicks in and all is good. Â Unfortunately you still have to steer the car, but with driverless cars already out in road testing it won't be very long before they too are on the market.

phillycore Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Definitely makes you a tad nervous coming up on a car really quickly than you see the little brake light up on the dash. It does suck though if you were cruising along at a good clip than end up riding behind someone who is going slower.....the car adapts to their speed and before you know it....you just spent 15 minutes going 55 when all you could have done is pass the slow mufuggah and get back to cruising along......lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillycore Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Currently I have a sport, but the outlander is the one that I was referring to. I use it from our pool vehicle inventory every once in a while and I had it for a month waiting for mine to come in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poconoceancity Posted September 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 I've driven a bunch of stuff over the last 10 days and here's my short list: Â 2014 Dodge Durango RT and Citadel 2015 Ford Explorer Sport 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit and Overland 2015 MB ML 350 Â All are in the 50-65K range and have adaptive cruise control, navigation and rear entertainment. I'm leaning towards the Jeep. It's the sportiest and probably would go through deep water, snow and over curbs the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poconoceancity Posted September 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Yep, most full size SUVs are over 60k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poconoceancity Posted September 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 It all changed in the last couple of years. Chevy and ford are producing fewer Tahoes, suburbans and expeditions, so the prices are high and don't drop as quick. They also come equipped with tons of new tech that pushes the starting price of 50 to well over 60. 2015 escalades are 80k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbike-ski Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 I'm looking too and its depressing - I don't love the new 4runners and the rest are just a bunch of soccer mom-mobiles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
