Red face Help me pick a SUV!

I narrowed my choices down to these:

-BMW X3/X5
-Infiniti FX45/50
-Range Rover Sport (NA vs. SC)

no clue which to choose.

edit: I'm probably going to do exhaust work too and i like what many ppl on this board are doing, getting bolt-on midsections. Looked around google and im getting nothing. im not sure if no other cars have bolt-on applications? or I'm just searching the wrong things...(I'm googling ([car] bolt-on midsection)

My favorite (Cayenne) isn't on the list, so the one I choose (and ordered) is the X5d

If you get the RR, lease it and give it back before the warranty is up.

It depends what you want/need out of the vehicle... Once you answer these things it completely changes what should be suggested. People are just throwing out random answers:

If reliability is a concern:

Throw out the Land Rover anything, forever. Don't even say the words...

If off road capability is a concern as well:

All these options suck and anyone that questions that is an idiot

What would you like to spend? Are you buying used or new?

A new X5 with options and all the good stuff gets up to almost $80,000... If I had that kind of coin to spend I wouldn't be buying anything on this list.

but hey... most people that buy cars just go to a dealership and pick something out and buy blindly... so the next question is...

Do you plan to shop like a moron or someone with a brain?
