Re: SUV shopping, advice?
FX35.
You can pick em up used in the ~$30k range, and its worth it. Ours is incredible. Get the touring pack, and AWD isn't a bad idea, it drives like a sports sedan. For an SUV, it handles viciously. The ride is awesome, the fit and finish is great, all around quality, and the warranty is good too (6yr/60k, pretty all inclusive, and transferrable, and extended warranty available)
