Lots of good thoughts folks. I'm still curious about a Highlander, and we'll probably drive one, but she's wanting something a little smaller. We're thinking Q5 or Macan, but the Macan has less space because it's so tapered. The Cayenne seems like a good option to me as well, but she would prefer smaller and it's about the same size as the highlander. Our daughter has a CX-7. We're wondering about the Volvos, and What about Merc GLC?

I just don't think I can bring myself to get a Kia or Hyundai. Also the wife refuses to consider a mini-van.

We have thought about the Subaru Outback or Forester too. We aren't likely to run into much snow here, but we could run into wet, muddy, slick grass situations.

What about the Jeep Grand Cherokees? It seems like I remember those being highly recommended on the board years ago, but that's back when they were running V-8s. A lot can change over 10-15 years.
