my dad is planning to get another car but this time is a suv. my mom always wants a van cuz it can hold 7 people (my parents are the ones who sit in the car 99.99% of the time) but my dad doesn't like it at all 
. so we have finally came down to this, a suv w/third row seat option. 7 passenger ones are too big. that leaves us a few to choose from. acura mdx, cadillac srx, and volvo xc90 are the top choices. i know land rover has the new lr3 but the reliability history for land rover wasn't that good <_<. btw, they are planning to get a '04 instead of '05 since the deep discounts. but wouldn't mind to get a '05 if a lot of changes and improvements over the '04 and as long as the prices aren't that big of a different. does anyone have one of these three suvs in the garage or something else is worth the consideration? thank you very much in advance

Out of your choices, I'd get the XC90 by far. For around 40K, I'd also consider a 3.0L X5, a Lexus RX330 or GX470 and an Infinti FX35/45.
if they don't need the third row seats, i'm quite sure they'll either get the x5 or fx. but my mom desparately wants the extra seats. what can we do
:'(?
