I would throw the Honda Pilot Elite into the shopping trip as well. Pretty sure the Elite model has second row captains chairs. Our family motor pool includes a Honda Passport for our teen drivers....

That said, how about a Durango R/T or even SRT? Basically a Grand Cherokee with a third row.

We traded our 2007 Q7 in for a 2013 Land Rover LR4 and it has been the best family vehicle ever. ...

Yes, 110 X-Dynamic with V6. 395 HP moves it along just fine. Although there are so many options and accessories available that you are quickly up to $80K.

I really wanted to order an SQ7 but struggled with this issue. I drive over 30K miles per year and average one flat tire per year. (And it's always in an inconvenient place like NYC or rural VT) ...

I don't need a hood light, but nice to have struts that hold the hood open. First time I opened the hood on my daughter's new Honda Passport I nearly dropped it on my head. The Passport still has...

larryV, thank you for confirming what what I was thinking. If traveling alone, I'd strap the spare down in back and use a Yakima roof basket for family trips. Just saw a Q7 today packed solid with...

Totally agree about the garbage ride on runflats. I want regular tires and some sort of spare tire, which doesn't exist with the SQ7. As much as I so want an SQ7, a SCV8 Range Rover Sport is a more...

Pretty sure if you want the B&O stereo on a SQ7, you have to get a Prestige as it isn't available on a premium plus.

This certainly explains why you like the first generation Q7 better than the current one. Same reason why current LR4 owners didn't buy a D5 and are waiting on the Defender.

You can still get a diesel D5 now. And with the Defender being built in the same facility as the D5, I bet we see a diesel Defender as well. There have also been recent pictures of V8 Defender test...

Like the Q7, the new Discovery is built in Slovakia. New Defender is being built there as well. Supposedly both plants are operating again, so maybe the new Defender and SQ7 will arrive here soon.

What Land Rover model/year did you own that had such "horrendous reliability"? We owned a 2007 4.2 Q7 and 2008 LR3 at the same time. Our Q7 had twice as many trips to the dealer for warranty...

TUV rated! Thank you, I couldn't remember that stamp that is on the inside of wheels made in Germany and Italy. Just saw it the other day when I was washing and waxing the winter wheels.

B&O sound deletes the spare tire

I still miss my 2002 (2.7T 6MT) and 2004 (4.2) allroads, so I'm excited to see the A6 allroad is coming back. I love my current LR4 but it's getting old and I need to replace it someday. I have...

What does the Cayenne have for a spare tire? I think the current Q7 and Cayenne now have the same wheel bolt pattern now that they are assembled in the same facility.
