Lol, at Matt - but thanks for the input Alain. No domestic, she wants a European luxury brand and the American SUV''s are too big for her to drive. This is a "want" purchase not a "need." She spends ~ 1/12 - 2 hours in her car daily so comfort, style, handling all matter. Roads trip are much more comfortable with to much space, not "just enough space." The new Volvos scare me, but we trade in after the 50K warranty expires anyway so my bet is either ML350, X5, or XC90. I do have to drive it every once and a while ...
