So he gave the toureg to my mom and her lease on her stupid fucking envoy is up in like 4 months…So I have until then to stop my dad from buying something shitty like a hummer or other embarassing GM vehicle I don’t think he’ll go w/ an Audi or VW since the first 2 touregs he had were victims of VW electrical nightmares I’m thinking used 5 or E class wagon He doesn’t want to spend more than like 45K must be AWD :roll: has to be comfortable b/c my dad is old (read vette not maserati) ---

![http://www.geoffarnold.com/Images/subaru-legacybig.jpg](http://www.geoffarnold.com/Images/subaru-legacybig.jpg) AWD, turbo, not over 45k, not a GM, not a german bastardization of electrical engineering, decently large and comfy. ---

New Lexus GS 330 with AWD is 45K and will be a very nice daily IMHO. Or an Acura RL for a bit more. or an SUV, I would go for the X5 with the 4.4L Just some ideas… Jeller ---

i have the non-turbo legacy and i can’t say anything bad about it except it’s slow as piss. i’ve seen the turbo version go so i’d vouch for it. Also would throw a +1 for the RL, we know hondas are trustworthy vehicles. ---

How about an Infiniti G35x? Price is well within budget, it is AWD, and certainly luxo enough. EDIT: Priced one out, and fully loaded with Nav and all the goodies it comes to $41760. ---

G35x IMO has a craptastic interior…plus, he thinks he needs an SUV (I’m pushing for wagon) for the “storage space” Howie - the M is possibly in the top 5 ugliest cars on the road ---
