I have recently come back from Florida and I hired a Buick Enclave an I must say

I did like it not as much as my fabia. The interior was beauty full and the drive wasn't bad either

Big aren't they.  Look a bit like a Touareg/Cayenne from the back - until you see them side by side.  The Buick towers over the VW products.

It was huge compared to my furb

And all that for $36000

+ local sales tax.

 

But still, you'd double that over here.

 

There is something garishly appealing about some of these American tanks.

Agreed about the American SUV, I really like the newer shape Ford Explorers. When we were out there we were rented a Kia Optima :( (all joking aside it was a nice car) but I did want something American!

I like some of the yank SUV's......massive compared to what we get her.

 

But it's the "cousin effect". I sort of fancy one but really it's a bit wrong.
