6. Other Choices (See why?)   The BMW X5 is the Mercedes-Benz M-Class's closest competitor--in fact, just the state of Georgia separates the Mercedes factory in Alabama from the BMW factory in South Carolina. The X5 offers a third-row seat, but more sedate styling. The Lexus GX 470 has good off-road capability but a dowdy exterior shape. The Infiniti FX is brand-new, and its aggressive styling gets a V-8 option to match. The Volkswagen Touareg sits high, feels thick and sturdy, and has seats for five adults.
