#8 of 17 Seating for 7? by rorr Jun 29, 2006 (8:24 am)
I've seen a few models thrown in here for consideration, but isn't this thread about crossovers with seating for SEVEN?
#9 of 17 Yes by bosi77 Jun 29, 2006 (8:42 am)
But the Outlander does seat 7( not comfortably). Replies to this message: rorr (Jun 29, 2006 1:25 pm) bbydad (Aug 09, 2006 11:42 am)

The Outlander does look promising though. And it appears that Mitsu is trying to stage a comeback. Whether or not they are actually successful is yet to be seen, but a competitive product sure is a good start. And this new rig certainly has some decent creds.

Replying to: bosi77 (Jun 29, 2006 8:42 am) "But the Outlander does seat 7( not comfortably)."   I was referring to the Acura RDX, the RAV4, the Tuscon/Sante Fe, and CRV.   How about the Highlander? Honda Pilot?   "The only catch is the vehicle cannot have a height shorter than 65 inches, or taller than 68.9 inches and cannot have a length that is less than 197 inches. And ground clearance must be at least 7 inches and can be no more than 8.2 inches."       Where did you get these parameters from? Replies to this message: bbydad (Aug 09, 2006 11:42 am)
#12 of 17 Q7 Forum? by quattroporte12 Jul 05, 2006 (8:51 am)
Wasn't this forum for comparing the Q7 to its rivals...which are not Hyundais. I think the Q7 has much more style than the R-Class, which has much more luxury than the Pacifica. The Outlander, Rav4, Crv etc. are compact SUV's, not luxury crossovers.
#13 of 17 R-Class: Buy It or Not?? by gabi06 Jul 21, 2006 (12:34 pm)
Hi Folks, I'm in the mkt for a "people mover" and HATE minivans. Have been considering an R-Class b/c it's MB and looks like the station wagon from yester-year... but wanted to get your feedback on pros/cons of this vehicle. Any advice is appreciated. Pls advise. (This is my 1st time on a Forum, so thanks!) Replies to this message: quattroporte12 (Jul 21, 2006 7:04 pm)

Replying to: gabi06 (Jul 21, 2006 12:34 pm) It depends on what you are most concerned with. If it is to seat 6 people as comfortable as you can (if you were a realtor for example) the R-Class would be a great choice. I personally prefer the Q7 because it has in my opinion a much more attractive shape and styling, and is less like a "luxury minivan". Mercedes also has the GL, but it is more expensive, has worse gas milage, and would probably not be as comortable as the R-Class. If you did decide to go with the Audi, you should know there is a 6 seat configuration available (it is much like in the R-Class) which makes the cabin feel much roomier (especially for the third row). The Audi is also cheaper than the R (39,900 vs 48,000 for a V6). However, i dont think the R-classes are selling very well so you could probably get a good deal on them.

Replying to: rorr (Jun 29, 2006 1:25 pm) Doesn't the RAV4 have an optional third row to seat 7? Has anyone seen this configuration or sat in such a vehicle?   I'm in a quandry too -- i like the idea of the RDX but am worried about gas mileage. The RAV4 may be the best bet. Anyone know if the new CRV will have an optional third row?
#16 of 17 Dodge Magnum vs. Cadillac SRX vs Jeep Commander by wbb56 Sep 24, 2006 (5:04 pm)
It's down to three and I'm having a very difficult time making the final choice. All three fit me needs. All three are fun to drive, have sufficient utility and are somewhat unique. Pricing in my area for 2006 models ranges from $27,000 (Commander) to $39,000 (SRX). I'd probably be happy with any of the three--but any wordds of wisdom and/or advice would be greatly appreciated. I am currently driving a 1997 Ford Explorer with 250,000 miles. I purchased it new--and planned on at least 6-7 years. It's been surprisingly durable and reliable. I expect to drive the new vehicle for the same amount of time/miles, if not longer.   Thanks very much for any and all suggestions. Replies to this message: zoomzoom718 (Oct 26, 2006 5:08 pm)

Replying to: wbb56 (Sep 24, 2006 5:04 pm) Oddly enough, I had narrowed it down to the same list. I also drive cars for at least 7 or 8 yrs so I rarely step foot inside a car dealer.    I dismissed the Jeep Commander after a test ride. Same old truck like feel of my former GMC beast. I had heard a lot of good things about the SRX, and as a former Cadillac owner I expected a lot , but the interior was cheap looking and the overall experience was not up to my expectations. All it took was one ride in the Magnum R/T to convince me to buy the Dodge. On top of that, the Employee pricing offered at the end of August allowed me to get a super price. I bought the car for my wife but I kept wishing I could drive it more often. It handles like a car but I can haul stuff from the Home Depot, etc like an SUV. Very stylish. After less than 2 months I went out and bought another Magnum for myself . Now we have two Magnums and we should be set until the 2014 models come out!
