Why would you steer clear of the Volvo?
Is the Audi that much less expensive? I thought they all priced out about the same--50K plus for the three row, lightly loaded version.

My anti Volvo feeling is probably irrational, but I feel like there will be a pretty steep learning curve for Geely in figuring out how to run Volvo and I wouldn't want to be part of that experiment. Also, the XC90 is near end of life and has really, really small third row seats.

How about an Acadia/Enclave? My sister in law has an outlook thattheyve been nothing but happy with, and it's been pretty solid in terms of reliability.
