Does anything like this exist...either its ugly, gets crappy gas mileage, has the worst seats in history or is just an expensive POS...arrrgh.

what about the new mazda csv...

or if you dont mind used... you could look @ a used 01-02 lexus rx300, those run in the 22K ball park now and they are comfy, look good, and get decent gas mileage, and has the reliability...

Those are both compact size SUV's.

For midsized I'd look a the new Hyundai Santa Fe, Toyota Highlander, Chevy Equinox/Pontiac Torrent or Honda Pilot.

Out of all the above I'd say the Hyundai is the best value for what you get and the Honda is the nicest all around choice but cost a bit more.

My uncle just got a brand new Honda Pilot for $21,000 out the door after much haggling and going through Costco of all places to buy it.

I love my Xterra. If you want to save a few bucks, and really don't need it, then get the 2wd models. It will save you some bucks on price, gas and insurance.

Somebody recommended the Ford Freestyle to you in your last thread, what about that?

Thats what I said to him, but he's the biggest haggler I've ever known, he lives for finding and getting the best deal possible.

He said going through Costco they just go through a local Honda dealer but give him an automatic discount over what someone else would get not using Costco.

Highlander Limited. You should be able to snag a two or three year old one with under 40k miles for that price range.

Fits all criteria.

Looks like the Chevy Equinox IMO.

Suzuki XL7 - Car &driver recently rated it and said it did everything well.

Ford Escape/Maxda Tribute

Jeep Grand Cherokee

Nissan Pathfinder, base model can be had for $24K

Ford Freestyle Seating for 6

Chrysler Pacifica - would be my choice out of the above if I valued a smooth car like ride and seating for 6
