And that's totally fine. I'm just stressing that different people have different priorities in what they look for in a large 3 row SUV at any given price point.
In my situation I have a sports sedan for sporty driving - and the only time I ever drive the SUV is with family or if I need to haul something large - in both of those scenarios I can't drive in a sporty manner (I've tried with the family.... the wife gives me mean looks). And I'm sure as hell not going to pick a large SUV over a sports sedan for my individual sporty driving desire. It doesn't matter how beastly the SUV is - it can't compare to the sportiness of a sports sedan.
In terms of the Range - while I agree it can be more luxurious in the higher trims - I personally didn't feel that price was worth it for my needs. The X7 is in that sweet spot where it's priced similarly to its direct competition while far exceeding them in luxury IMO. Who knows, maybe next time I'll splurge and get the Range.
