    Looking for an SUV for dad under 65K. It'll most likely be a four year lease and then bought out. He's dying for an LR4 but is willing to consider different options.

    Buying used is also an option. He isn't very interested in super rounded models (re: Audi) and doesn't like the Cayenne or Range Rovers.

    Any ideas?

    Mercedes GL? buy used, you can get a hell of a deal on a GL550.

    not sure about USD/CAD exchange.

    It'll be used in PEI where there are many unpaved roads and a lot of snow. Diesel doesn't matter, and 4x4/AWD is a must.

    Sorry, I should have included that in the OP.

    I have a LR3, 2006 model, and absolutely love it. It has just over 32,000 miles now without any troubles. I have seen and driven the new LR4. Tell him go for it, he wont regret it.

    if thats the case, i wont steer away from the performance minded suv's like amg, M, etc.
    I'd recommend the GL for good all around
    Caddy Escelade if he's a hip hop artist.

    Land Cruiser. By far the best all around SUV I've ever driven.
    BMW X5 ain't bad. Infinity QX45 isn't bad either.

    If he loves LR4, get that. Of any SUV with no price restaints Id pick the new FX 50 and thats around 50K USD. Its not much of an SUV by definition though. AWD none the less... LR4 is more classic "body on" style. Most options were mentioned already.
