If you can stretch the budget, I would consider the Cayenne, even an older model. I have owned 2 jeeps, the last been the Grand Cherokee V8 (not the Hemi though). The Jeep was a great car to drive , pulled like a train, towsing ability is excellent, but they do have faults, especially the soft slopy ride. They are great value for what you get, but resale value is crap.
I now drive a Cayenne S and there is no comparison. The Cayenne is built like a tank and goes like stink. Every time I get in it to drive, It puts a smile on my face. You cannot believe the handling ability of these big hunks of steel and how easy they are to drive. I cannot comment on their off road ability, as I haven't taken it off road, as its not equiped with the right tyres etc. The Jeep however, I found verry capable off road, although I probably never pushed it as hard as Tomcat has indicated.
As far as the styling of the cayenne, if you like cobra's the cayennes big rear should fit well. As far as the nose, all I can say is you grow to love it, as it provides excellent forward vission, and polishing and washing is also easier due to the flowing smooth curves. My only negative comment would be that maintenance on these cars is expensive. However the 2nd generation cayennes are well sorted and have verry few issues.
