I see the "bizcommunity" puts the Porche, Range rover and Discovery in the same class and price range. Crap!!! Porsche - very very rich, Range Rover - very rich and Disco3 - Lots o money.

P - Race car road + light dirt only. Does well around Kyalami though.
R - Hard Road + good off road.
D3 - Good Road + Excelent off road. (I have seen this)

The Q5 will be in the same class as the X3 and X5 and to some extent
(A lot) the people who buy Range Rovers. Fuel guzzlers and built for the tar!!!
What amazes me is that Toyota Prado is not mentioned. For me it competes with the Disco 3 and Range Rover. (Depends on model)
SUV is a short sighted statement. Most of the 265 SUV's are soft roaders. ie. no low range and/or proper ground clearance.
The article on "bizcommunity" was written with advertising a new model in" mind. What about Mercedes with their 6.2L M class. To name just one.

As metioned by "SOLMANIC" - " driven by people with more money than me".
