Or Jeep Grand Cherokee. I'm looking to buy a new vehicle and narrowed it down to these 4 for the SO.

Volvo XC60 and Jeep GC are the leaders. Safety is a huge concern as well. How bad are the blind spots and that sort of stuff.

I have read reviews and cons but would like to gauge any advice from td posters.

If any posters can offer up their perspective I would appreciate it!

The new Volvos look nice. The motor, who manufactures it?

JGC is the only RWD one of the bunch.

ETA and it will be the only 4x4 one as well, I believe the others come in AWD or FWD.

I looked at grand Cherokees over the weekend. I like everything about them except their track record of reliability

The highlanders have a good resale value and ride really smooth.

I like the JGC as well. Don't know much about the other two.

They're about to do a major re-design of the XC-60 to match the other new Volvos. It's going to be a hellova lot nicer. If that matters to you.

The XC90 is the best looking of the shared platform. Better than Porsche, better than Audi.

I'm leaning very heavy on the volvo. It's the best looking and has superb safety aspects.

If you could choose, would you want AWD, FWD or RWD?

Highly impressed with the XC90. My stepsister got one about a month ago. Volvo has really stepped up their game.

Why do you say that? I feel like Volvo offers the best bang for your buck.

I feel like it's actually priced better than any of the other 3.

Xc60 vs Xc90... I don't need to fit 7 people at all. They are pretty much dead on between the two besides seating 5 vs 7

I have a Tahoe with a 3rd seat in which is why I don't need the XC90
