The new one can tow more, rides better, handles better, has a nicer interior, gets better gas mileage, most likely is more relieble, etc.

The only reason I'd own one of these is if I needed one, and the only reason I would need one is to accomplish something that only a vehicle of this type could do. Why would I rather have the inferior vehicle? and cooler is subjective.
How can you say that about something you've never driven? :rolleyes:
;) :lol:

You should take a municipal bus everywhere you go. Or a Segway scooter.

Its a freaking SUV! My choice might change if we were talking about a sports car. I already said that the only reason I would buy an SUV is to accoomplish some job/or chore. It's not like I'm buying either one for the driving experience because I highly doubt either are anything special to drive.

Wait, I thought you said handling was important to you?
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

I know you're joking but none of those are really subjective things that you would need to drive to make a judgment. And its a pretty same assumotion that the 07 rides better, handles better, has a nicer interior, etc.

Thanks for keeping track.

But its more fun doing it in public. Its probably less reliable or practical though...

If I drove my lawn mower at 70mph down the road I probably would.
