    Super duper Dan! I would say welcome to the club but I'm not quite in yet....

    So for those that sent yours back for refit what was the turn around? Did it look like they just shaved off around the troubled area or build a new one?

    Damn, that's a good deal. Is the Subaru really that bad?

    Coming from a Tahoe it is. Feels like I'm driving a Smart Car.

    Thanks for that rundown, Naaman, it is very helpful. I am thinking about the Lexus RX 450H hybrid that is about to come out, in part because I have the sedan and like it. I am assuming that the bigger Lexus is the GX460 and it does seem like a big truck. Did you drive a Q7? I've had a couple Audis and had very good luck with them.

    I did the math for the 450h and you would have to keep it for 10 years to break even on that gas assuming you didn't need to replace the batteries by then. It does have cooler LED headlights though, and you can move it around under electric power only.

    I liked the Q7 but it's tech was a bit weird. I like it's height adjustable suspension. For some reason most of the Audi sales people are euro wana-be douches and give me a bad vibe and I hear horror stories about their service department.

    Nice. Which other cars did you consider? We are going to move on from minvan stage here soon, and I need to look at a few options.

    Just about everything in that size category.

    Audi Q5 too small, Audi Q7 doesn't really compare price wise.

    Cadillac SRX too small and has a horrible blind spot. I really liked the dash layout though.

    Infinity-Not enough cargo room on all but the QX56, with the QX being too large

    Lexus RX350- Nice ride but a bit on the small side. Third row and larger size on MDX a plus

    Lexus GS460- Bigger size a plus but to much like a truck

    Lincoln MKX not bad but they are totally redoing it for next year. MKT cool car but just too ugly

    Porsche Chayenne Best driver of the bunch (no shit) but you don't really get much else. Wife actually really liked it and said we could get the Turbo S if I drive her old Subaru. One of the most tempting deals she has ever made. But I hate the Subaru.

    Volvo XC90 The car we were originally going to get. Pretty much the same car for the last 8 years. All around not bad but again they have not kept up with the times

    Didn't really consider the Merc or BMW.

    We loved everything about the MDX except the looks. It's growing on us but I still think there is better looking vehicles out there. We also came to the conclusion there is no perfect vehicle (almost like buying a house). As nice and loaded as the MDX is it still isn't perfect. Three big things missing for me is no rain sensing wipers, still uses a key to start, and no On-Star. Not deal breakers but I think the first two should definitely be included.
