    I have driven the highlander a lot great vehicle but has a lack of power for passing and towing, just traded in on a rav 4 for the wife and it is very nice and sporty but the paint chips so easy it's not even funny.

    My daughter and son in law have the Buick and a good friend has the Acura. Both are fully loaded and go down the road very nice. Very comfortable. My complaint with most crossovers is they don't have a 4 low option. I was looking for one to use as a daily driver/hunting rig. I like having a 4 low option. I ended up going with a Suburban. Gas mileage really isn't that much different and I got a lot more seating space and cargo area.

    Subaru's are more truck than alot of trucks.
    Their new crosstrek is pretty cool, it's basically a lifted impreza.

    Our next vehicle will be the Enclave. Test drove one the day we picked up our Malibu and absolutely loved it. First time my wife has ever been excited about a car. We're saving up now and hope to buy a 2012-13 in 2015 or 16.
