First time I saw one I liked it's look from the start.

Honda SUV's are getting bland and common looking. But if it ain't broke don't fix it is their attitude I would imagine.

Soon to be in-laws have the Pilot and it is a nice vehicle. Could use a tad more power, but not terrible. They tow a trailer with it with no qualms.

 

Hmm. Checking out the Venza. I dunno if they would want to do with the AWD V6, since its 18/25 AWD 4banger is 20/28 so they might like that. I like the Venza. We'll have to check that out. Its expensive though.

 

3.2L V6 Audi Q5 Quattro

 

acura rdx or mdx, very sharp looking cars and acura's are very well put together

 

The (1)09 rav4 is fast! My step mom has one an I borrowed it the other day.

The (2)CR-v is bland and ugly in my opinion. The(3) pilot is pretty nice though.

The new (4)venza is pretty sweet and unique also.

I'd go 1, 4, 3. In that order

 

So no one would suggest an American?

 

We looked at the acuras but the ones we saw were 10+ k for only a few extras. The pilot is too big for them. And no to domestics. we don't like most of them. And no to audi. We have a vw and have sworn off vw and audi. We'll see about the toyotas. It's going to be between those and the crv

 

If i was in the market for a SUV i'd definitivly look at the Ford Escape and the Jeeps

 

you must have missed where i said the traverse

it's got better hauling capacity and fuel mileage ratings than the hondas

the escape with the v6 moves along pretty decently, i drive my uncles regularly

 

yeah i missed it. I test drove the escape a couple of weeks ago and i was very impressed. I actually like it alot. If i was serious about getting a SUV this would be on top of the list... it's also quite cheaper.
