DH and I are going car shopping this weekend. (Yay!) Were looking for an SUV. Any suggestions? Were planning on going to Nissan, Lexus, Infiniti, Toyota, Audi, Volvo. Thoughts? Likes/dislikes?
Thanks ladies!
UPDATE-
Ok so we narrowed it down to 2.. Lexus RX vs Audi Q7 ..thoughts?
Update #2 at bottom!

Re: car shopping
Sorry, we're an American made car family (it's a union thing, we like to buy all things American made). Anyway, I have 2010 Ford Escape I got in October. I LOVE IT!!!!! It's roomy, quiet, smooth, drives amazing, and it isn't HUGE but big enough!

Re: car shopping
DH and I both have Jeep Grand Cherokees (Laredo's). We both absolutely LOVE them! I got mine first and then we liked it so much we got another one.
DH's favorite car though was his Chevy Trailblazer (I have to admit that was a great car but killer on gas).

I drive a Subaru Tribeca Lmtd. I love it! I had a BMW X5 and it was nothing but problems.
I also LOVE the Audi SUV Q5

DH and I just bought a Hyndai Santa Fe in October and we LOVE it! I had an '03 until we bought this one and it was such a great car. Plus they made a lot of changes and upgrades since back then.

Honda wasnt on your list, but we had a Honda CR-V for 8 years, and just got a Honda Element in July, and we love the Honda SUV's

Re: car shopping
I second checking out Subarus. I have a Honda Accord now (which I looove), but there's nothing as comforting as driving a Subaru--especially in bad weather! I had one temporarily during college (I leased it), and it was the best. I also went to college in the Buffalo area, so that might be a reason that I sing praises of Subaru so much; I've seen some pretty crappy weather!

Re: car shopping
I just got a 2011 Subaru Forester last week...and its really nice!! Ahhhhh company cars! I didn't get to pick it out but I am really happy with it. The 2011 is much more round and far less soccer mom-ish.
Just prior to this car I was in a Volvo which I loved. Very comfortable and reliable.

Re: car shopping
Wasn't on your list but I have a Ford Edge LTD and I freaking love it. Panoramic sunroof, built in blue tooth, and my fav is the way the leather is done - black with off white stitching (of course I like the girly aspects of it, LOL, oh yeah it drives well too and the gas mileage is pretty good!) the 2011 Edge is AMAZING. The new 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee is hot too.
If I could get any crossover / SUV out there it would be either the Audi Q7 or the BMW X6.

Re: car shopping- UPDATE!
I would get the Audi Q7, I love that truck plus care free scheduled maintenance is always awesome.
