Is that the Ford station-wagon looking thing? If so, I think she already looked at it, and actually liked it. They've been looking at cars for awhile now, here's her thoughts on what she's driven:

RX300 - She likes
Escape/Mariner - She likes
Redline VUE - She likes, GMS not available on 06s
Toureg - She likes, but worried about reliability
MDX - Too big
Envoy - Too big
Equinox - Going to drive this week, might be too plastic
Pilot - Too big
CRV - Too slow
Explorer - Indifferent
Pacifica - Too soccer momish
ML320/350/430 - Not interested

Haven't checked into the Murano, but other that these SUVs, are we missing anything? She's not really into the Outback and other station-wagon hybrids..
