Please Help Pick New Car

I am keeping the TL...don't worry. I have a Mustang that sits in the garage, and I drive occasionally, and my mom has an Astro van that is beginning to fall apart. She is looking at replacing the van soon, but needs something big but nice for business use. We will be trading in the Mustang and Astro for whatever it is we get. What are some of your opinions on what to buy.

Requirements:
-SUV or SUV type/size (I'd like Titan, but she's not one for pickups)
-$30K or less, preferably around $20-$25
-Luxury for a woman, but man enough for me to drive if she takes the TL, which she loves to drive by the way.
-Must be able to tow (motorcycle/jetski)

My ideas...Nice trailblazer, new Jeep liberty (with that sport package), Jeep Commander, Titan (we'll see if she goes for this).

What else is out there that would be good for us. Thanks in advance for any replies.

Volvos are probably a bit over his price limit. The XC90 can go for over 50 MSRP.
