    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Infiniti will cost me some money actually. Instead of towing my boat up to the farm for storage I will have to pay someone to store it here. Probably $400/yr or so. Of course the 180mi drive at <10mpg is also $80 or so. Net of $320/yr...or I borrow a truck.

    If I was conservative with my $$ the INfiniti has to win since it will cost me nothing. The others will cost me money. Only question is how much and is it worth the difference.

    And I am comparing Apples to Apples. What I can buy with what I can buy.

    If you meant aging by wear, threshold of redesign time is what makes the biggest difference there. Killed the Cayenne for me since I drove this: And was looking at buying this:

    Carpet is a little bit rougher, but not much.

    5 years of wear on a nice car doesn't hardly show. My cars look the same the day I sell them to when I buy them and I have two kids.

    Is the price comparable to the jeep or merc?WAY cheaper

    Adding a nismo FI for the 3.5 gets it to well beyond 500hp for about the same price as the 50s. Bummer with that though is that Nissan rates it at only 2k towing versus 3.5k for the 50s. Considering it'll regularly tow a snowmobile trailer with 2 machines up to 650lb each + trailer 2k is pushing it. And there is no difference besides the motor so it is a crap rating, but aargh it is a legally binding one.

    Pretty sure my Android would fit there though and GREATLY improve the look. Not quite to 14 standards, but close

    Looking at the pics above made me think i could live with the Jeep. Of course I showed the 14's above, 12 has the stupid uconnect

    Obviously powertrain is longer, but whoop de fucking do. Not hard to build an engine and BUY a transmission that'll last.

    Jeep is so proud of their vehicles they get a 3/36k warranty. Even certified only buys you another 3k miles. Telling tale.

    Windsor to FE in a car that came new with either.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Both are copies of the ML though, but considering the Jeep started out as one that is no surprise.

    Although in person the Jeep is nicer. Problem being that until 2014 the center console sucked...or at least the double din stereo
