I may be flamed here but have you thought about a Ford Territory??
Yes. I loved the Territory. We actually checked out the Kluger (too small in the back seat), then really liked the Terri. Little problems galore though if you look on the Terri forum. Otehrwise a great car.
Problems included:
Windows getting jammed all the time
Front end making clunking noises regularly
Rear door scraping on sides/panels and scraping paint off
Brake line probs/failures
Little annoying "Ford" things that don't seem to happen as much on Euro cars. Still thinking of the Terri, but safety is really important too...
Watch this and you'll see what I mean. XC90 has a Boron composite roof. Pretty tough!

It also has:
(1) front and curtain air bags in the front,
(2) front and curtain air bags in the second row/rear
(3) front and curtain air bags in the boot/7 seater
I like the X5 but it looks dated on the inside. My brother had an 80's 5 series BM trouble-you and a 90's 7 series... the X5 dash looks the same!
I like the 1hotBusa approach. Drive them and see what I like. So far teh Volvo is waaaaaaaaaaay ahead of the others!
Yes Blackzook, my wife... I know...
I asked her to go out and just choose something she would like to drive. I thought she was going to pick a Rav4 or a Commodore, and she came home with a new freakin WRX!
Legend, tell Dee if I had a shed as big as yours, I'd go the F250, but I live in Marrickville mate. Most of the streets here aren't wide enough for Dee's truck!
