Tell her to go look at a VW Touareg. Not really and SUV, but something
auto pundits call a PUV. (Performance Utility Vehicle. One could also
call it a PEV. Enhancement Vehicle.)

Tried the Toureg - it was ok, but not my first choice. I drove all
the SUVs (except American made), including the Allroad. I tried to
convince her she needed the Porsche Turbo S Cayenne, but she wouldn't
