Default Rob, I can't get into it. When I saw first pics sure, but the interior is so small

and the outside is so large! It's like a hummer for the car class

Default It's all true. The Fx45 dwarfs the allroad in exterior dimensions and the trunk is quite small...

I don't really consider it "SUV". It definitely lacks in the practical and utility factor. However, it makes some good moves. Those 265/50-20 tires really grip the road (.87g lat. acceleration). You should listen to the v8 growl. It's almost soul stirring. Anyway, the wife won't give it up. She's hooked on the key-less entry/engine start. Key stays in her purse the whole time. "How convenient".

It's all good though. You and I are looking into tuner car, right? ;-) My wife and I were just talking the other day. She suggests that I just go buy one. Somehow, I need to justify keeping the ar though.

Default Is that your "tuner car" in your sig? :D

The wife is not the problem. When it comes to autombiles, I pretty much have her worn down. But I keep going back and forth on what I want. Convertable would be so choice but so irresponsible with a baby. I do have to take Olivia to her babysitter every morning. If I trade in the allroad, I can pretty much buy anything I want. But I'm fondly attached to it.

So, what's your toy?
