Although the XC90 Sport sounds a lot better than the reg. XC90 V8, I've also heard the XC90's have reliability issues, their 3rd row is smaller than the Acura MDX's 3rd row, and they get horrible gas mileage.
We're getting my wife into a new SUV this Dec....we're currently looking at the BMW X5, the MB R350, and the Acura MDX. My wife is leaning toward the MB R350 since it's the largest with the most space, although we haven't test driven it yet. We test drove the X5 and love it, but admittedly, it's a bit on the small side. The MDX has the best crash ratings, it's the least expensive (although the leases aren't great), and all the high-tech features, but again, it's kind of small inside.
Any thoughts?
