Recommendations for SUV

That really depends on:

1) Your budget
2) Your priorities i.e. do you want resale value or that is not important to you

If 2 is important to you then basically you are stuck with Japanese cars.  And maybe a few models like Jeep Cherokee which have some resale.  All the other high end German and American cars depreciate like crazy in value and selling them at even a lower price after the warranty period becomes a chore. 

The models with the best resale and quickest possible sale time are essentially Land-cruiser and Land-cruiser Prado.  Then you have the Patrols and the rest.

If 2 is not important, then definitely go for non-Japanese.   I am not being biased but having owned both types; when it comes to performance, comfort and drive pleasure, you just can't beat the German cars (and some American ones like Jeep Grand Cherokee).

Thanks a lot xTang. It is helpful.
