Did you read the budget on page 1? [hahhah-no]

If I were looking at something like the Acadia/Traverse, I'd look harder at the Buick Enclave...but that budget thing comes up again.

Does it have to be brand new?

Most likely. I like having at least one newer vehicle in the household that is still under a factory warranty.

If I had to cheat on my Grand Cherokee, I'd go for a Toyota.

But then again, it's a 2002 Jeep, so there could be all sorts of things that I don't know about with those newer vehicles.

Acuras are expensive as hell. I briefly looked at them a couple years ago when I was in the market for a new car. Everything in their lineup started above my budget ($20k)

I have a 4runner and it's awesome. Highlanders are great too. My wife had one and loved it. Can't go wrong with either.

I would suggest you stay away from the current generation 4runner. Mine was a lemon, and the day toyota bought it back was a great day for me....

If you go factory certified whatever on either, that should be taken care of. I really like the way the MB GLA looks. I hate the GLK, however.

My missus wheels around in a Rav4.
Good little vehicle
