Other Choices:

Shoppers are still moving toward smaller SUVs, but sporty, luxurious ones like the 2009 Acura RDX are especially rising in popularity. The BMW X3 was one of the first entries in the niche, but its substandard interior (at least initially) and rough ride keep TheCarConnection.com from recommending it. Infiniti’s EX35 is a blast to drive with none of the turbo lag, but its fuel economy is worse than that of the RDX. Land Rover's LR2 feels plusher than the RDX, with the LR2 owning a bit of off-road edge. VW’s Tiguan also has a turbo four, but somehow it’s a lot easier to live with. The Mercedes-Benz GLK is another new entry in this group—it sizes up with the rest but manages to feel a bit more mature and refined; for now, it's only offered with a big V-6. The Audi Q5 is another new entry set to come out late in the 2009 model year.
