Pics of the new Q5 Gman! I need to get married so that I can split costs & purchase two more cars & maintain a home at the same time

What the man said ... but add a Q5 to the mix, game over

Here is a pic when we 1st bought the Q5 home, the 2nd pics is the updated 19" rims.

Of course you know when you get marry, you split the cost of your home but you get twice the headaches. After you have children, you end up paying for everything and she end up with the nice car too

Thanks Joe, I like them much better too, but the wife doesnt really care which rims she have they kind of remind of the 18" rims on the 08 GS350.

Suggestion to consider: Marry a high-earner with good automotive taste too.

You're right... My gf is a car nut just like me & loves the events.. Here we are at the BMW Ultimate Drive. She does not make as much as me but it may work out..

Thanks guys, I actually recommanded the RX350 to her because of the reliability and dealership service. I know I will be doing all the running around with the dealer if there is something wrong with the car, but as usually she ignore me

How was your buying experience with the Q5? Was the dealer willing to negotiate much? The dealers around here have very few on the lots, and I was wondering if the tight supply was keeping the selling prices up. Thanks.

I test drove the new SRX with AWD and a rear drive CTS Sportwagon (3.6L) last Sunday. I read in the order sheet that the turbo V6 for the SRX will be available mid year 2010. I also took a test ride in the 2010 Ford Taurus SHO. Of the three, the fastest of them to me felt like the CTS Sportwagon. All nice vehicles, but to me, they still aren't up to a Lexus.
