Buying new SUV for my wife:

4-runner
Volvo xc90
Acura mdx
Lexus Gx

Anyone have experience with any of the models above? GX is our favorite but of course the most expensive.

Any info is appreciated.

Xc90s won't be out until April but will be a 2016 year model.

4 runner is on a truck chassis right? I think all the others are on a car chassis therefore may ride better.

New XC90 is going to be really nice. LINK

Volvo also has collision-prevention on the xc60 and this new xc90 which is really nice. It will stop the car automatically at lower speeds. Since it's a new model year, might want to be careful about reliability issues at first.

New?

My wife has MDX. 2015 (or '14) is the updated style, and I freakin love the thing. Can't recommend it enough. Drives great, good power, very nice tech and materials. The gas mileage is vastly improved from older gen (she had a 2011), we've hit over 30 mpg on road trips. Unless you need the AWD, I'd recommend the FWD only version for the gas mileage and less maintenance.

MDX and it's not even close. It blows the doors off all those other choices.

Not on your list, but I bought Mrs T-Bro a '14 Nissan Pathfinder and she loves it.
Been impressed with it so far.
