The M-Class has our favorite blend of dynamic style and performance, but it's tough to overlook the Infiniti FX50 for drama at first sight and behind the wheel.
It's quick and sexy in a way the Volkswagen Touareg and Porsche Cayenne have become in their second generations; the German utes feel ever more sturdy and they're great off-roaders, and they span a range from Hybrid to Cayenne Turbo.
The BMW X5 is the Mercedes-Benz M-Class's closest competitor-in fact, just the state of Georgia separates the Mercedes factory in Alabama from the BMW factory in South Carolina.
The X5 offers a third-row seat, but it has more sedate styling and lacks the performance character of BMW's cars.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee has been beautifully remade for 2011: it's a distant cousin of the M-Class back to DaimlerChrysler days, and the ride quality and solidity give away that backstory.
