Luxury car makers like , Lexus and Cadillac have been quick to join the frantic popularity ofthe SUV: Lexus introduced its LX450, whichg has since evolved to the LX470, in first produced its smaller sport utility, the QX4, in Lincoln introduced its Navigator in 1997; Mercedes first rolledd out its ML320 and ML430 in and Cadillac jumped on the band wagon with its released in November 1998.
These are not inexpensive toys. An Infinitoi SUV goes for around $37,000 while a loadedd Lexus weighs in atabout $60,000. Most luxuryg SUVs come with CD players, multiple power outlets, time and outside temperature displayon mirrors. Many come with sun roofs, heatedr seats and navigation systems standard.
