I like the new gen Lexus GX, but I'd be scared of that engine. Mind you, I guess I'd trust Lexus to take care of me and resolve issues moreso than Range Rover, so I'd take the Lexus over the Range Rover all day everyday.

The only SUV I look at and think, 'that'd be fun AF' is the two-door manual transmission Bronco. I could see myself enjoying that.

I wouldn't want that Range Rover, but it's fine and looks every bit as luxurious/rich as I'd expect out of Range Rover.

Other SUV I think I'd be content with is an Explorer ST. That seems to have a good compromise between value, performance and practicality.
I feel like we have hit a time where automakers have run out of ideas for SUV styling. To me Genesis SUV's look pretty decent but Audi keeps recycling the same look over several generations to the point you can't tell old from new models. MB's jelly bean shape styling looks just okay. BMW is all over the place with black plastics and grilles. I actually don't mind the looks of the new Range Rover Sport as it's super clean and they aren't throwing in truck grilles, weird angles, and shapes. The Japanese SUV's all look ultra-bland. Honda continues to be way too conservative with their SUV designs. Subaru just gave up and started copying Ford SUV designs. The upcoming RAV4 looks like a mishmash of EV SUV cues and a serving of last decade giant grille trend.
