Even with me being a huge foreign car fan, I'm going to have to mention the Ford Escape / Mercury Mariner. You can get AWD, and even a hybrid version on newer models. Only thing is it seems a little small compared to most of the other ones you've looked at. Other than that, my only advice is to stick to the car-based models if it'll be on paved roads all the time (better ride, and better mileage usually). I like the idea of an MDX. Also, what do Infinity FX35's go for used? (My only concern with those would be gas mileage). I should also mention, the new Hyundai SUV's look -very- nice. Seriously, the few I've seen so far, I initially thought they were Lexus's until I saw the badge.
