What about Cayenne S? Someone I work with just got one. Nice vehicle, although I still find the low profile tires look silly on it.

Sport utility, so you want utility get a lexus, either one really.
sport, go with the bmw, you got some nice rides that are quick, maybe a rugged truck is next in line![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
the gx is awesome imo, the lx is the nicest one i think, x5 and fx45 is pretty much a toss up, car on a jacked up suspension. You should get a x5 and the lx.

So far, its a toss up between keeping my denali (which is really nice great SUV), a BMW X5, or an LX470..

I really am going to use it as a beater, but I still like a classy looking vehicle.

OK. So, classy looking beater with lots of room needed. Why didn't you just say this at the start? ![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
How about a used Range Rover? Not the best maintenance record, but seems to meet your needs!

I don't how you compare the Lexus GX470 which costs 45,000$ fully loaded, when even the X5 4.4 goes over 60K when loaded, which means the 4.6 would be even more.

$45,000 is the BASE MSRP for the GX470.. Lexus offers a $8,500 option package ontop of that base price.. You should check your numbers before posting them..
Also, its VERY easy to compare them because its not all about price. Lexus has always been known to offer more for the money that BMW and MB.. SO it wouldn't suprise me that a GX470 would be loaded with more features for less than a BMW X5 4.4..

In terms of luxury, price, reliability, and what suits your needs, I don't think this car can be beat.
X5 is fun car to drive, and i like the styling, which is why it got my original vote, but taking a second look, it doesn't really seem to fit your needs.
