CUV's

[Sal-XK]

The only advice I can give you is what to stay away from IMO. GMC, Chrysler (not Jeep though LOL) Toyota. Every company takes there turn at the top of the food chain and right now its Ford. The German guys are still good as usual VW BMW and so on. I was impressed with kia's options and stuff but couldn't get over the name KIA LOL same goes for Hyundai. Just my opinion on the subject I know we have chevy and dodge guys here so sorry but there crap LOL. I'm not brand loyal I have a passat and an f150 in my driveway with my Jeep LOL

given a few years ago I would have said stay away from Chrysler, but since Fiat took over the quality & workmanship has gone up from what it use to be. Also I have to preface this next comment I am not a Ford person so not going to rec one of them.
I have rented a few of the new Chryslers (300c AWD) over the last year & have been very impressed & not just with the 300c, the suv/cuv's IMO are pretty nice.

Now about the Equinox Motor Week has put it at the top of their lists for the last few years with out fail. I have driven quite a few cx-7 & 9's & enjoyed the power and what comes with them & friends I know with them really enjoy them.
Good Luck on finding the replacement car/cuv, I am in the process of the same & have been researching a lot of cars right now.

Sal hit it on the head...every few yrs it seems one company or the other rise a little bit above the others. I'm not usually a fan,but Mazda seems to stand out this year. I recently went to the auto show in phila,and I have to admit it...those CX-7s were pretty impresive.

Awesome insight! Thanks so far. God this is why I love this close knit group, lots of help over here.

Yeah, right now we like the Ford Edge, Mazda cx7 and Equinox. But we have yet to drive any, so we shall see.
