Here's the short list that the JX35 made it to. Hopefully it will take the crown but it's got some good cars to compete against.



Acura RDX
Audi Allroad
BMW X1
Ford C-Max
Ford Escape
Hyundai Santa Fe
Infiniti JX35
Mazda CX-5
Nissan Pathfinder
Ram 1500

I just was about to post this. Nice to see.

happy to see the JX has made this list. Even if it doesn't win, I wonder how well it will do

Not to troll, but there are a couple things wrong with this list. First, it includes the Pathfinder which isn't available to anyone yet. And second, the list seems to include all new SUV's that went through a major body style change or released a new model in '13 (like the JX).

almost all the info people need on the new pathfinder is out, just not the vehicle it's self. maybe reviewers had the chance to get in them and do reviews. But i guess they are going off of spec's rather than testing the vehicle? who knows.

They need real correct list of just SUV vs CUV vs Trucks.

Not sure how a giant 100k SUV won.

Not surprising...for that kind of money, it better be able to do everything and then some.

The rest had to keep within the "value" range due to the current economy/market...as a result, certain 'utility' aspect will take a huge hit.

One of their criterias was VALUE. I don't find the ML to be that great value. I mean sure the bluetech/diesel is great but the petro models eat gas like its free.
