In a perfect world you could build an automobile for the masses, no matter how daring or bold the design was, and the majority of auto enthusiasts would naturally be attracted to your new creation. The same thing can be said for many new crossover SUVs, especially in the luxury market. Here in America we have taken a special liking to luxury crossovers such as the Porsche Cayenne, Range Rover Evoque and even the BMW X5/X6. Undoubtedly, there is a vast market for such vehicles.

It has been said many times as of late by automotive journalists that Buick is no longer your grandparent’s car. That sentiment holds true across the full line of Buick cars and their one and only luxury crossover, the 2012 Buick Enclave. The new Buick Enclave, first introduced in 2008, continues to lead its segment for having exceptional attention to detail and class-leading interior space all for a competitive price.

Before the unprecedented rise of gas prices, the SUV segment had a plethora of potential buyers. In the past few years consumers have taken to smaller vehicles and car-based SUVs (crossovers). The decision to switch to a smaller vehicle leaves only a few choices remaining if you want a powerful, roomy and luxurious SUV. One choice that remains to steal the heart of large SUV buyers is the new 2011 Infiniti QX56.

Remember Nissan throwing around the idea of building a 520+ horsepower Juke crossover from the Nissan GT-R drivetrain? Well, that project is still happening and has progressed well. Much of the success is due to giving Nissan engineers a virtually limitless budget and unadulterated access to all of the GT-R’s mechanics and electronics which make it one of the fastest production cars on the road today.

‘RAVE REVIEWS ALL AROUND’
The Toyota RAV4, already a leader in the crossover SUV segment it launched nearly 15 years ago offers even greater value for 2011. The 2011 RAV4 is offered in three distinct grades-Base, Sport, and top-of-the-line Limited-and with a choice between the 2.5 liter four-cylinder engine and a 3.5 liter V6. Both engines can be teamed with either front-wheel drive or electronic on-demand four-wheel drive, giving consumers a wide array of vehicle choices. The roomy RAV4 offers an optional third-row seating on Base and Limited grades. I tested the V6 powered Limited AWD model and now know why it is such a huge seller. It just does it all so well.

The 2011 Audi Q5 3.2 Quattro Tiptronic was designed to balance on the fine line between utility and desirability, by providing the ride height and visibility of a Crossover Sport Utility and the superior ride quality and competent handling characteristics of an Audi sports sedan. It features the 3.2 liter V6 engine and world-class capability of Quattro all-wheel drive.

‘A THREE ROW SPORT SEDAN’
The 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander GT S-AWC is in the crossover sport utility segment but one look at the exterior styling and after one test drive behind the wheel you’ll think that you are piloting a performance sport sedan with three rows of seats. That is what I felt after my seven-day test drive and photo shoot of the new 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander GT S-AWC. It is long, sleek, and low with all of the exterior sporty cues found on the best performance sedans.
