Spektrum color golf R would go nicely with the current fleet. How about a raptor?

We love our X5M. All wheel drive and 733hp with a tune. Technology is amazing, and interior is great. Drives like a sports car.

Urus or a late model FF have worked well for me

Another good idea. I had a Jeep SRT, and it was one of my favorite cars I've ever owned.

When I dropped the GT3 off for a rattle, they sent me out with a new Macan. Was never a car I'd even considered...but I liked it.

Get a Model X. If she likes the power/torque nothing beats electric. P100d would blow the doors of every suv. Great DD.

i was considering a trackhawk but i've read so many mixed reviews on quality that it's hard to stomach 90k for a jeep product. damn it's a good looking truck though and 700+ hp would be fun...

My wife has been driving an Audi S8 plus for about a year, and she loves it. She has Blizzaks installed for the winter, and it gets her through the snow without problems. My wife is a surgeon and needs a car which can get to her office or hospital, regardless of the weather. Moreover, if your wife likes power, she should test drive the S8. I believe my wife's car has over 600 HP and 500 lb-ft of torque. So if your wife wants a luxury AWD car with lots of power, she should check it out.

Other than some issues with the new surface coated brakes....it's the best overall vehicle I've ever owned.
