[Windypundit] Car-like SUV's are basically cars with beefed-up suspensions and drivetrains. This will be our first SUV, so we don't want anything too radical, and since we're not planning on any serious off-roading, and we'd appreciate a smooth ride, we decided on a car-like SUV.

[SUV 4x4 Suvs Sport Utility Vehicle] 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander: From the outside, the Outlander is a very good-looking SUV, with sporty lines and nicely molded lighting. The front has a prominent skid plate coming up from underneath, indicating a good approach angle for off-roading.
[Fosfor Wheels] Land Rover LRX: The positioning of LRX could be described as moving subtly from traditional SUV to crossover, with its more car-like appearance and dynamics that are sportier and on-road biased. But while its character is underlined by excellent agility, handling and performance, LRX also promises the widest breadth of capability in the class.

[LA Can't Drive] Off-Roading at Anothers Expense: A lady in an SUV was wandering aimlessly about the two lanes, and when I attempted to pass her on the left, she decided to change back into that lane, pounding my compact car into the curb similar to the Focus in the above incident. Luckily I had a digital camera to photograph the damages to her car, my car, the skid marks, and the donut-like tire marks on the curb, illustrating my point that I had been hit laterally by her car and had not stuck her vehicle as she insisted.
[Mercedes Benz Low Prices 1-888-861-8080] 2008 Mercedes-Benz GL450 Low Prices Low Payments Lease From $499 ...: Seen in profile, the GL's nicely raked windshield and large, 18-inch wheels (with 19- and even 20-inch wheels available) and bulging wheel arches help balance what is basically a tall and long vehicle. But even being tall and long, the GL doesn't look as bulky as, say, General Motor's full-size SUVs, the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon, and even with the squared-off rear edge of its D-pillar, the GL doesn't look as boxy as DaimlerChrysler's other full-size, three-row SUV, the Jeep Commander.

[The Car Family] 2009 Nissan Rogue: They Shrunk the Murano: Well, not having driven the new Subaru Forester, I would say that it is as good as the rest save the RAV4 with the V6 which gets nearly the same fuel mileage with an engine that produces almost 100 more horsepower. On the down side the RAV has the rear mounted spare tire I deplore.
[Car Reviews Photos Rent a Car] 2006 Honda Ridgeline RTL S/R Review: the dash and doors were covered in a dark grey rubber-like material. The dash laid out well and the cab offers many little extra storage areas, not unlike the Honda .
[auto savvy] California Emissions Laws Suck: AND it has 312bhp and more torque than you can want, and can run circles around your suv. Safety is also way better in a car like that. But on that note, if everyone drove small euro/japanese econoboxes accidents would surely drop. ...
