Of course the ultimate SUV is the hummer H1...but being more civilized I´d say the LX470/Land Cruiser...
And on the looks...the FX45 is the best looking SUV out there...

Ok the Hummer is the ultimate truck but if it has to be an SUV it would be a toss up between the FX45 and the Cayenne Turbo

I think the X5, the Cayenne and the Range Rover are the best SUV's.
Even dough the RR isn't a SUV it does compete in this category.

most of them aren't station wagons, explorers, expeditions, excursions, tahoes, suburbans, land cruisers, pathfinders, durangos, those are definetly not station wagons in any way.

If I raised the ride height on my grampa's ford LTD wagon, I'd pretty much get a ford explorer. no wait, the LTD had more interior space, lol.
they're station wagons with a higher tendency to flip over.

It would have to be the Porsche Cayenne Turbo, although the new BMW X5 4.8is looks fine and has more than enough performance for me 
On a more typical note, a Hummer H1 or H2 would be the definitive all-terrain vehicle (this side of a M1 Abrams tank)

SUV'S just dont appeal to me, they are just plain pointless... 98% of the suv owners dont go offroad. for the 2% that does its perfectly fine. for the dirt: H1 for the road: cayenne turbo

You're the man 
In off-road goes where the suv's can't go and much more, low weight, little. Easy doing everything =P Somethings needs more power, but if you know what you're doing you won't stop.
A few days ago, I just passed in a place that a Nissan Patrol GR and a Land Rover Defender couldn't pass =P
I'm putting a Suzuki Swift Gti motor in my samurai. Let's see how it's going to be.
About the Suv's, X5 is the most beautiful but Le Mans version.
Don't forget about ML55 AMG, H1 is the "father" of jeeps. Lambo suv is more like a prototype =P
Cayenne Turbo and VW Touareg 3.0 TDI.
"jeeps" to be afraid to ride with them off-road?! not for me =)

I hate SUVS. I hate small station wagons with raised ride heights that are called SUVs by marketing geeks.
that said, I wouldn't mind having a lowerd (4-6 inch drop) supercharged 5.4 liter V8 with 500 bhp and 500 ft/lbs torque Ford Expedition. Does that engine sound familar (Ford GT)?

Nop, it's not exactly the same engine, but it's got all the same parts...
Remember this past year Ford Lightning SVT 150 pick-up concept?
Well, that 5.4 liter supercharged V8 IS the same engine mounted in the Ford GT with its 500 Hp and 500 Lb-Ft of torque, not a masterpiece of an engine (like a Ferrari NA V12, if you ask me), but gets the job done in an amazing way
