The QX56 is fuggin horrible looking.

The Audi Q7 is the cat's *** as far as best looking IMHO.

I agree the Q7 looks the best, but out of the 3, I'd say Range Rover.

Best looking, I would have to say the new Range Rover Sport; with the new Caddy Escalade with the factory chrome 22's a close second

Another vote for the Q7.

Range Rover Sport? That's not a real Range Rover. It's a Land Rover Discovery with an RR bodyshell.

ah no, BMW has free scheduled maint for 4 years or 50K whichever comes first.

Back on topic...
If you can swing the cash, check out the GL450 or even better the GL320CDI.

BMW X5, Audi Q7, Range Rover, or Infiniti FX.

Sheer looks? Range Rover, hands down. RR interiors are beautiful too.

QX56 looks like an adult robot abortion
Q7 looks like a teenage robot abortion (but has grown on me a little)

The Range Rover DESTROYS them in the looks category. It is not even close. There is a purpose and fluidity of the RR that the other 2 cannot even begin to understand.

Of the current ones, I like the design of the FX. Saw a Q7 down here the other day, not the first time, but the I always compare the back of every SUV to that of my RX300, that is why I like designs like the Murano and FX, but the Q7 still leaves a little to be desired there, Mazda CX7 almost is there. However, this is just me.

Cause the 3rd row of the Lexus product is not Scottish.
