I have narrowed a search down to the G55 AMG, Hummer H2, Escalade, BMW X5, Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, and a Lexus GX. I would like to have your opinion on ONLY THESE SUVs. I know the specs and options on these SUVs so please don't give me a complete specs list on a certain SUV, just tell me why you would choose the particular vehicle (ex: I would pick (insert SUV name) because it is a head turner or it is reliable or it is a great value for the money). Please don't waste my time or yours by writing a review on a SUV not listed because I have already decided that I would like to buy one of the listed SUVs. Thanks.

Well, I would have to choose the Lexus.
Lexus has held the #1 place for reliability for the last 11 years!
I sell vehicles for a living (23 years in this field) & therefore I do a lot of research.
So if I were choosing a vehicle that I wanted to enjoy, I would want one that spent more time being driven & less time in the shop being repaired!
I've taken the liberty to copy one of my previous answers about reliability (J.D. Powers & Assoc)

Out of the suvs listed, i would buy the g55 amg. Everybody who has a top-dollar suv has a h2,an x5, or an escalade; the porche is too expensive(yeah the engine is awesome but still),and you just don't see the amg too often. But to really be a "head turner" you've got to get the amg in black with some type of big, chrome wheels and keep it shining. But thats just my opinion.

g55 or gx470, i drive an 05 gx, and very happy with it...but the g55 amg is a knockout with off-road capabilities like the gx. if money is not an issue, i'd go for the g55 amg.

u can't go wrong with the porsche. They are RARE so they are a serious head tuner
