Thanks everyone...we're pretty happy with it...the wife especially likes it because it's easier to park and maneuver around than the Tahoe was. It rides a little better too. A big plus is that we are getting about a 25% increase in gas mileage (and that's just in town driving...we hardly do any highway driving). In fact, over the winter is our worse case....she typically takes our oldest to school....only about 8 blocks....and comes home....then when she goes to pick her up from school, they sit in the lot with it running to keep warm (can't really let the other two kids freeze) and then comes home.

Anyway, we like it. And, as for staying in the family, there was only really one vehicle outside the family that was ever in the running. In fact it came down to the Enclave and the RX350 from Lexus. The wife decided she would rather, at least, have the option to use the 3rd row seats...the Lexus doesn't have them. But, we were almost in the Lexus because it rides better, is quieter, gets better gas mileage and seems quicker (may not be). But, for about the same price (literally a couple hundered bucks less than the Lexus), we got the third row seats, slightly lower maintenance costs and stayed with American made (not really a deciding point, but somewhat important to us).
