If you get teh discount then a yukon denali/tahoe/escalade is actually a really nice car.

But I personally am digging the new Nissan Armada.

My sister wants a vehicle that fits 7 ppl...she doesnt want a minivan or a HUGE SUV, so she's getting a fully loaded '04 Pilot with navi right under 30k. She also looked at the MDX, but thought there was more room with the pilot.

Passenger cap is at 7-8 people. for both the Armada/QX56

I will assume you will want 4wd so the Armada starts around 40k and the QX56 is 50k.

They are Surburban/Yukon XL competitors. I think they are pretty awesome.
