A nice fuel efficient suv?

Check out the Ford Escape Hybrid, the Lexus RX350 or RX400h, Ford Edge, the Toyota Highlander is also a good choice too, even though you don't like Toyota's :P. The new Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain are also very fuel-efficient, but that might stretch your budget. Even if you don't find something right away, persevere! Don't get stuck with a car you don't like because you wanted one immediately.
