Not going to put a Lexus in the poll this time around. Which one is most interesting to you?
If I didn't name all please mention so I can update!
My wife really likes the Q7 SUV...it is nice. Range Rover or Cayenne for me though

Is there supposed to be a poll here? 
Ah...there it is.
No question for myself, Porsche all day. If I were to win the lottery the RR would be the pick.

I still can't justify buying a Cayenne, X5M, X6M or any other "performance" suv with the hope of driving it the same way I would a proper sports coupe or sedan. I don't care about the numbers or all of the horsepower, it still just doesn't feel right and if I'm going to buy a performance car it sure as hell better give me the right haptic feedback and sense of confidence that I am looking for.
If I buy an SUV, it will be a true 4x4 or people hauler...something that I really need the 8+ inches of ground clearance for and 5,000lbs of mass to lug around. I'll save the curves and canyon carving for something more naturally adept to those circumstances, a la M, AMG or F cars, Corvettes, a Lotus, etc.
My first choice at $60K plus would probably this:
...yes, even over the 460. I could do an LX 570 or 470 too - either is fine.

For the hauler side, I still lean towards the GX460/Q7/GL with the Q7 just a bit out front. I found the TDI to be just as good as the X535d I drove last year. Haven't driven the new X... and again, reliability is just HUGE for me, so Lexus stays in the mix.
FWIW- today's "dream" set-up: 2011 Space Grey Metallic M3 comp package w/ carbon + 2011 Black Q7 TDI S-line Prestige

I'd have to say a tie between the Toyota Land Cruiser and the Mercedes Gelandewagon. I like the Land Cruiser, for a couple of reasons, even more than its Lexus LX570 cousin, and the G-Wagon is perhaps the only remaining M-B product that still has the rock-solid, tank-line construction that Mercedes products had 20-25 years ago, in the 1980s, before their build quality and reliability started to cheapen. Just shut the doors on a G-Wagon and you'll see just what I'm talking about.
