I'm looking at a Mazda CX-7, I liked the ride of it better than the Murano and FX.

its got a turbocharged power train like the acura MDX but cheaper and with the same features. handles great! mazda sucks a$$ at engine tuning though, I saw the dyno for that engine, the tunning for that engine is terrible, you are only getting good torque for a few hundred rpms. So it feels very weak at the bottom and up top. Its one of the worst turbo dyno charts ive ever seen.

I think you meant the RDX. Thanks for the info but I'm not planning on racing it and I don't even care that it has a turbo, I just like the price, the ride, and the features I get for that price :-).

2 very fun and cheap SUVs in my oppinion are the Xterra and the FJ cruiser. Xterra is the reigning SUV of the year for Motor Trend and several other big time mags because it has the sportiest handling. FJ cruiser is also getting high marks since it was released and have a good chance at winning SUV of the year next month

B - not quite married, but every weekend has been consumed w/ planning and errands related to it... SUV huh? Sorry. CX-7's pretty interesting though. Someone on my350z picked one up and really likes it. Why don't you just get an awd grocery cart like Mase?

So you've had the G all this time? You going to trade it in or sell it? If the latter, why not just leave your Polk/Momo's in, and put new stuff in the new ride? If the former, I guess you'd be be better off trading it in stock.

well I think I might be able to get the Momos in to the CX-7 and regardless I can always sell the speakers. I figure I'll never get the money back for them so I might as well keep them or sell them separately.
