BMW's X5 M is astonishingly fun to drive for a while. There's ludicrous thrust from the twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8 and ample stopping power from the 15.6-inch front and 15.2-inch rear brakes. But after a few blasts up to triple digits and the resulting braking to get back to legal speeds, I tire of the X5 M. In an era of 40-mpg advertising and public disapproval of SUV ownership, the "big engine in a big vehicle" thing feels archaic to me. I certainly don't think all SUVs need to go away, just the ones that have go-fast pretensions. In fact, I'm a huge proponent of SUVs, but as far as I'm concerned, anyone who needs an SUV for SUV tasks will be better off with an SUV that can tow trailers and do moderate off-roading excursions, and just deal with the average to slow acceleration. Want to go fast? Then get a sports car or sport sedan.
