Why should I also consider these?

The Porsche Cayenne is a bit lighter and more road-oriented, matching a sporty exterior to a basic interior design that parallels those in Porsche sportscars, but it's not nearly as roomy inside as these other SUVs.

The Mercedes M-Class offers an especially intriguing alternative for those who are conscious about gas-guzzling: the diesel ML320 CDI, which gets 18 mpg city, 24 mpg highway.

Buyers looking to the 2009 Land Rover LR3 as a fashion statement should consider the Jeep Commander, which also has tall, boxy styling and serious off-road ability.

However, the Jeep can't claim the LR3's breadth of luxury equipment or its well-laid-out, space-efficient interior design.

The Audi Q7 has some measure of off-road ability, though it's configured more for good on-road performance.

It also has a new clean-diesel option and an especially attractive interior.
