maybe in styling... i just ran screaming from an 08 acadia into a 2011 MDX. great design, but it was in the shop every month we owned it, including getting a brand new engine at 28k miles. we traded it in with 37k with a dead nav, check engine light coming on indicating the new engine's timing was going and a tranny issue. anyone considering buying an acadia, enclave or traverse should google: gm 3.6 timing chain or gm 3.6 engine issues. such a shame because its really the only crossover that offers 3 rows of full size seating.

Jeanie drives everywhere, so her mileage is piling up fast. So far, so good.

bringing up a fairly old thread, but we just purchased an 11 MDX Advance/Entertainment and drove all of the 3 row SUV's
Enclave - drove very well, however have a good friend with one that has had steering replaced and timing belt replaced before the 40K mark
Durango - Very nice as well, underpowered in the V6, Hemi is much better. Tranny is something left to be desired, Dodge has been using the same tranny for a while, and it has its issues. 12 model is supposed to be a 6speed
MKX/MKT - never drove the the MKT, but the MKX was a nice one. Lots of advanced features
Explorer - Nice as well, underpowered a bit due to its weight. As for the My Ford Touch, (and Lincoln) read some reviews by mags, they say it is very unreliable. I noticed as well that you have to be very firm with your touch, which is not good when you are driving and trying to pay attention to road.
CX-9 - never drove it, too small in 3rd row .
X5 - not impressed. Too plain inside.
just my .02
