My wife wants an onboard nav, so with all the packages you have to buy it pushes the sticker above 50k which seems nuts.

I liked the new Pathfinder but it wasn't a blast to drive. It had a pretty nice interior and the size was about right.
List price on the CX-9 AWD Grand Touring is under $40k. We got ours (with rear seat DVD, tow package, roof rails) for a steal 4 years ago, when gas was $4/gal and no one was buying big SUVs - we paid just over $30k...

My wife gets around 17 mpg around town, and we get low 20s on highway trips.

Make sure to find some curves to try out during your test drive.

They just did an exterior refresh, too. No more goofy grin:
