Luxury SUV For Spoiled Sister
My sisters 22 years old. She's been married for a year now, and even have a baby (my niece is fkn adorable! But that's a different story), and she wants a new car.
Her husband (then boyfriend), got her her first car, which she currently drives: 2006 Range Rover. I think the car is a POS. He thinks it's a POS also. But my sister likes it.
She's wanting her car to be brand new. She's looking at either a Benz G Wagon or an Escalade. I personally don't like either one, and neither does my brother in law, but that's what she wants.
I'm trying to convince her to get something else, something more reliable and not that costly.
I showed her the Lexus NX; she thinks it's ugly. I showed her the Lexus GX; still feel's the same way.
I showed her the upcoming Audi Q7, but she'd rather have a G Wagon.
I suggested the BMW X5, but she still wants the G Wagon.
I don't know much about the Benz, other then it being very overpriced, and I don't think it's that reliable (can be wrong).
Anyway, what would you suggest for a spoiled girl who's been loving the Range Rover, G Wagon, and Escalade since HS? Personally, I think she just likes these cars cause it's popular among my nationality, and I think she's easily influenced; but that's just me.

Lol. I wanted to mention Kim Kardashians, but she claims that she doesn't influence her (I think it did in the past). I mean seriously, there was a time where my sister almost looked like her. o.O
But to answer your question: yes, we're Armenian.

She wants a G Wagon.
She's gonna get a G Wagon.
It doesn't matter what you think about its cost or reliability. She's gonna get what she wants. Then she's going to deal with it.

I have to at least partially disagree. It's not just a he-vs.-she marital tug-of-war. They've got a child now, with responsibilities. And they've got to plan for those responsibilities (see my last reply, just above).
For a good example, look at the way SW13GS, our CL colleague, is handling his own situation. He, IMO, is doing it correctly. His wife has twins on the way (due in February), and he is looking at something sensible and suitable for the newly-expanded family that probably won't cost half (maybe one-third) of what a RR does...and will be more reliable.
Money may not be an issue right now, but one cannot necessarily forecast the future. Either way, that child is going to grow up and have needs.

My 20 years old sister just got a really loaded MB GLA250 for 52K OTD. I was convincing her to get the NX or Mazda CX-5, but nothing went through. About your case, I think she will get what she wants, no matter how much effort you spend convincing her. Let the time of ownership proves that she's wrong.
