My wife and I checked out some prospective replacements for her X5 this past weekend. I was impressed by the VW Touareg (0% financing being offered currently), the Subaru Forester and Outback, Acura RDX, and MB GLK350. I'd say the "cheapiest" feeling one is the Forester but it has a lot of space inside and has done quite well in crash testing; it's also the least expensive. I found the BMW's (X1, X3, and X5) too expensive relative to the others and the whole "lifetime" fluid mantra does not rest well with me as far as keeping the cars long-term.
