4.8 sec?! Are you kidding me?! Beautiful rims and interior. Exterior is in fact really nice as well. Man, this car seems so cool!

@crammage I drive an SRT8 300. I LOVE it. I can afford the gas even though it's a complete waste. I saw a guy with a Jeep today and it was STUNNING.

tow rating isnt about power. atleast not all of it. its about the tow package... the brakes, suspension, frame etc. this suv isnt meant for towing. its meant for having a damn good time!

@ratmtbolathe X5M Is a beautiful truck, no arguing there and handling wise, well its a bmw..lol..but i have a 2012 jeep srt8..i average 4.5 to 4.8.. and my best run was 4.3 with the best 1/4 time at 12.7..and average 12.9 ..once this thing breaks in a bit it delivers the numbers..it handles excellent ,and and feels great in the corners.and for the price, it looks way better than the BMW to me..but taste is subjective..srt8 was just a better pick for me..

@xxMafia101 That would make them look more expensive for sure, but a better idea for a car that cost that much would be to use GOOD plastics instead of the junk they use now.

@deljuicy0309 Sure, depends on what you want to (or can) pay. If you got no limitations in terms of money, the X5M surely is the better performance SUV in just about every single possible way.

Top gear has yet to pubically test the SRT8 and compare it to their prized Rangrover. I drove the cayene, range, and srt8, the know their prized british cars will fail to jeep.It outclassed them in everything imo. Even in performance. I test drove all 3 using the same weather conditions with little time intervals between. For any nay sayers, don't take my word. Test drive them. The srt8 is on another level.

Wait a minute. A 6.4L V8 with 470hp and 465 ft-lb of torque can only tow 5000 lbs. You have the same tow rating on a 2012 Explorer with its 3.5L V6 that only has 295hp and 255 ft-lb of torque. Hell, the 6.2L V8 on an F-150 pulls 11000 lbs and gets comparable gas mileage.

Your problem here is looking at the reason the car was built. Trucks, are obviously built for work and that type of thing. This however is built to be fast and agile.

only thing that is terrible is the gas mileage, there is still better cars on gas compared to this beast. But I'd still buy it for sure.

@wsmarines First, the SRT8 needs 4.8 secs from 0-60, not 4.6 as you claimed. Then, the big thing that sets the BMW X5M appart from all other performance SUVs is handling, not straight line performance. The SRT8's handling is not bad for a SUV. But the X5M just kills it and even outhandles many much smaller and lighter cars. And the 30k you pay more for the X5M are for the luxury and better build quality, where BMW just owns Jeep in every possible way. Now who's the smartass?

great car but the wheels are ugly and small considering the wheel arches are so big so that leaves a big gape between the wheels and arches and another thing is that the interior comes in one color and that's bad cause many people doesn't like black and its modern and sporty the red, maroon,cooper,caramel, burgundy, brown colors.
