otherwise, CRV.
Ton's of CRV's running round with 200+k miles on em.
Ford Escape instead. I got a 4 banger/five speed...It gets 29 +
on the highway. More ground clearance. I bought it 15 months ago and am very pleased with it.
I really liked the Honda, but decided to go with the Ford because the financing was better and it is made in America.
I drove the Toyota and Honda CRV a couple times and bought a

Had thought of an Escape but my in-laws have one and I hate it. It rattles, eats up tires and is just not well built. This is coming from a Ford guy too...Edge is a little over what we can spend (it will be our 3rd vehicle). Need something for me and wife, 2 kids and 100lb black lab.
when I see a Jap SUV I think of WWII Jap tanks...except the SUVs are probably better armored [:D]
+1, the Saturn VUE is powered by a 250hp 3.0 honda v-6, long regarded as one of he best v-6's on the market, plus the rest of the car is made in Tennesse.
my folks own an older CRV and love it--I bought a Jeep Patriot in Oct and I have been very pleased with it. I got it in 4x4 and for under $18K. It has been great in the snow.
Hows your gas mileage in the Patriot? I like the looks of that min-ute.
... if there is a Saturn dealer nearby, drive an Outlook.
? otherwise, you'll find an excuse.

I get about 22 to 23mpg with it. It is a 4x4 and I did put a more aggressive treaded mud & snow tire than the factory put on it so I could probably eek out a little more with touring tires. I have gotten more than 23mpg on long trips though, If I really stretch it I can go almost 350 miles on a full tank of gas and no mountains.
I will second what nutfinn said. Try the Mazda CX7.
My younger brother has a 2007 Sport FWD model with the 6 cylinder and automatic. This things rides comfortably, has good power and response and handles extremely well.
My wife considered one until she drove the 2007 Silverado and fell in love with it.
