OK!!! Soooo if anyone heard about me getting my New FJ Cruiser well i think that there is like a 2% chance of me getting it now... Apparently my insurance would be through the roof, payments hovering at $500 a month, MPG Lower than expected, and to add another preverbial kick in the balls to the equation the price was jacked $5,000 because Toyota doesnt release from the factory, BASE models without all the convieninence group packages. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..... OK SOOOO Anyway ive been looking into other vehicles now because now i am forced to look into something different... I really dont want a CAR. i want a SUV... so apparently Jeep came out with something called a Jeep Compass... needless to say its smaller than the Toyota RAV4. and only a small amount of hp more... prolly gets alot worse mpg too. Well i thought i liked it but i think i might just buy the New RAV4 cause then i can fit my RE SX 12" in it with the box i just built. And besides they are bigger now. Other trucks maybe the new Mazda CV-7 thats comin out soon, not too sure about that... Ford Products usually suck. Cars.... if i have to maybe a new Camry cause they are apparently really nice now... Pontiac G6 Coup GTP... Yea its nice but again im really not into the whole Coup thing, nor am i into the mpg on it. Mazda 6 Has always facinated me, but againg its a Ford product... and besides if i had a 6 i would want the SPEED version and the upgrade is like $6k so forget that! Mini Cooper S... um i dont think i could call myself a man if i drove that.

So give me some options guys maybe u have something i havnt thought of. I really dont wanna go over $26k though and please no Ford or Chevy SUV's i hate them terribly!

Im sorry bout that dude...
I knew it would be high though

Look into a Nissan Murano or possibly a 4runner. You could take a chance and go with something like a used MB ML500 or ML55. Excellent cars...I had the ML500 and an ML320. You could always look into a Durango. Other options, Range Rover HSE 2001-2002 model, Land Rover Discovery, BMW X5 3.0, for $26K your possibilities are broad. My advice is to drive some of these vehicles. Then make a decision based on your feelings and findings. Hell you could look into the Toyota Land Cruiser or Lexus Lx470 on ebay...some are popping up for your price range.

dude........your ford comment saddens me.

dang no Chevy's? ... the Trailblazer would be nice... but anyway.. what about a Cherokee? and also a Durango as stated below.. whats your spending limit again?

Get a 4Runner, still a good off roader, will last forever, and has a great resale (if for some reason you ever wanted to sell it)

Im with Chris. Stick with Toyota. Get a c.p.o. 4Runner. They are GREAT!!! Sux about the FJ tho. Thats why im waiting to buy mine

Oh, and about the Mini Cooper S...have you driven one? I think you would change your mind about "not being a man" shortly after a test drive. They are fun as hell.

yea all the girls i know that drive them absolutely love them!!!!
