You sound like Arianna Huffington (I call her Huff-and-Puff-ington) and her well-known public anti-SUV crusade.

My top 5 SUVs (as of October 2010)
No particular order
1) Audi Q7 V12 DIESEL (and in a year or two, the next-gen model will be out)
2) Mercedes Benz ML 63 AMG (and upcoming GL 63 AMG :P)
3) Porsche Cayenne new model (especially in Turbo form haha)
4) Infiniti FX
5) Nissan Murano AWD (in 3.5 V6 petrol/gasoline and 2.5 liter diesel versions)

There others out there.....but this list mentions only my five most favorite so yeah can't include the rest I'm afraid....
