But it does (especially the Alpina) have a kick ass TT V8, which takes most of the domestic 3 row SUV’s out of consideration for me. Aside from the mentioned Escalade V. In a perfect world, the Grand Wagoneer with a Hellcat under the hood would be a perfect family hauler. But with a TT I6, it’s undigestable for me personally. A V8 is a must while they’re still available.
Yeah, it was tough decision. If the 3 row is too small, the car is not as useful. If the 3 row is too big, the car is not as fun. I think BMW is cheating a bit by making it smaller than American vehicles in its class so that it can perform better for the driver. Ya know what? I am ok with that.

It was really down to the Escalade V and this for me. The Escalade was more expensive, and felt just as large as my current vehicle, so I was happy to downsize a bit.
