Loosely interpreted, the American Indian word "spokane" means "children of the sun." Indeed, the sunshine that blankets Spokane, Washington, and the upper northeast corner of the Evergreen State makes this an unparalleled playground year-round.

We picked up a red Nissan Xterra in Seattle, and a 4.5-hour drive along the I-90 corridor brought us to Spokane, where our holiday began. The Xterra PRO-4X offered a good mix of rugged utility and a comfortable ride. The total mileage on our adventure was about 1200 miles, and this four-wheel-drive SUV yielded a very respectable 22 mpg at its best, cruising along at 65 mph on the interstate. Going into 4WD was a simple matter of turning the selector switch on the fly, instantly shifting the Nissan into 4Hi. 4Lo was never called upon. When traveling along unfamiliar back roads and byways, it feels really good to know your ride is reliable.

According to these guys, recent trends have shown that more and more ladies have paid closer attention to driving big cars.

A three-door, bulletproof monstorosity of an SUV, the Prombron Iron Diamond was built to cater to women that have a penchant for driving the biggest, baddest, and meanest set of wheels they can get their hands on.

Audi got into the crossover business late, and it's been scrambling to catch up. The Q7 arrived in 2005, some three years after its VW Touareg relative. The smaller Q5 followed three years later and the passage of yet another three is marked by the arrival of the even smaller Q3. Audi's top brass apparently believes the Q3 is too small for America. During our recent drive, the project chief told us it wasn't built to meet U.S. regulations, and there are no plans for export.
