"Metaphors be with you"
Hi the Vauxhall Frontera /Isuzu Rodeo with the 3.2 V6 in the SWB format isn't too bad - very nice trims mostly full leather ,heated seats , air con etc
cheers

The 2-door Freelander was ugly as sin, and the VW Touareg/Porsche Cayenne are nice but expensive. It remains to be seen if the new VW Tiguan has any off-road prowess. The BMW X6 is beautiful but painfully pricey ($55k for V6, $63k+ for V8).
from what ive read, the tiguan is not really offroad capable as it will be sold in the US but there is a trim package available in most the rest of the world which increases its approach/departure angles and adds some skid plating
The VW Touareg and the Porsche Cayenne are not good off road. The brakes are too big and wheel wells are to small for off road capable tires and there is little to no articulation.But they will kill a VX on the road.

I've actually read very favorable articles about the Touareg off-roading (at least the model with the adjustable air suspension). They say it's about the best unibody off-road vehicle ever made, although there have only been a few others (Grand Cherokee, Freelander)
I've got my eyes open for a low-mileage VX in my area. Hopefully it works out.

This is what happens if you use street tires off road.
