GMC Acadia vs. Ford Edge vs. Suzuki XL-7
"Your Detroit-bureau editors both live about 11 miles north of our lovely river-view offices, and in the dead of winter, while dodging various major freeway reconstruction projects, that's plenty far enough to learn what a vehicle is like to live after a few days of slogging back and forth. One recent week we just happened to have three fairly comparable crossover SUVs in our own parking garage, so we've staged a little commuter comparo. There was no lavish road trip, no exotic destination, no expense-reportable dining or carousing; we just sampled what each vehicle was like to live with over a two-week stay.The threesome included Ford's cool new Edge, GMC's Acadia, and the Suzuki XL7. Although our as-tested prices show a $13,465 price spread, it's possible to order an all-wheel-drive version of each priced within a couple monthly payments of $30,000, though that requires loading the 'Zuki to the gills, picking the topline Edge, with no options, and going with a bare-bones GMC (its Saturn Outlook sibling, which arrived to replace our GMC just days after this drive, starts out about $2000 less, providing identical performance, ride, and handling)."

Exactly! I wouldnt trust a Suzuki to get me from place to place. it looks like the whole front end is lifted from the edge. And the rear looks like a tahoe. I wud prefer the edge

The Suzuki came out BEFORE the Edge, so your statement can't be true.

I'd take the Acadia. It's opened to fairly good reviews. Edge is noted to be bland and completely average, and I wouldn't ever buy a Suzuki, as of now.

The Edge just looks so boring, while the Acadia has a little more visual eye candy. The Suzuki just looks sad, like a crying puppy.

All are pretty decent. The Edge doesn't look bad, not great. But it is surprisingly small, very much a slightly taller station wagon. Haven't seen the Acadia. The Suzuki isn't bad but like the others nothing much special.
