Odds are, your adventures will take you across some rough terrain. Camping, beach outings, and other prep activities may require you to take it off-road for a while. The Grand Cherokee is an extremely capable off-road vehicle, but is very nice and luxurious on the inside.
Especially the station wagons. Volvo's are made to last, so it's a car that many families are willing to pass down to their newly licensed 16 year old. They will most likely replace their old Volvo with a new Volvo. Pictures is the Volvo XC60, which is their SUV.
Another manufacturer with a reputation of making cars that last. The A4 has classic styling, exceptional handling, and many luxurious features.
The official vehicle of prep moms everywhere. The SUV has room for a family of four, drives like a Lexus car, and has plenty of storage room for groceries, lacrosse equipment, and the dogs.
I'm a little iffy of putting the Range Rover on this list. Sure, it is an extremely nice car and many preps do desire it, which is why it ultimately made the list. The thing that made me hesitate about including it on the list is that it is more frequently driven by rich snobs. Deep down, this SUV wants to be driven by preps, though.
The Land Rover and Range Rover are class vehicles driven by many preps throughout the ages as well as Mercedes wagons. (PS - Preps can be rich snobs, alas, most often this is a country vehicle and would not be new). Also, the Jeep Wagoneer, not Cherokee, is considered to be the creme de la creme of prep motoring from the 60s, 70s, 80s. The Cherokee is considered the wimpy red-headed stepchild to the Wagoneer. You can't replace the best with a cheaper model.
