Agree with the Ascent, been looking forward to it coming out and giving it a test drive. Test drove the VW Atlas and like that one as well. Really liked the Tiguan but it is too small for our needs.

The thing that frustrates me about the Ascent after more research, is that it requires premium gas. Yeah thanks for the great MPG for a full size SUV with your 2.4 liter turbo. But if I am required to run premium gas am I really saving any money?

Did not know that, good to know. Being I live in California maybe I will cross that one off my list.

Yes, I have been really interested in the vehicle. Went so far as to see if there would be an upgrade package for the stereo emailed Subaru they replied that they hadn't decided yet. Once I realized it required premium gas, the Highlander LE Plus V6 went right back to the top of the list.

Was planning on waiting till this came out but maybe will just go with the Atlas now instead of waiting.

I looked at the Atlas have not driven one yet. I had a Passat Wagen a few years back and loved that car, loved how it rode. VW is costly to repair when the time comes.

This is what I meant by "other". The 200 mph SUV from SRT by Dodge. The baddest SUV on the planet!

I'm sure they are the same vehicle but I really don't like the one on the left.. The rear end looks ugly as hell

When you're as comfortable as you are in that car, the looks are meaningless.

The Subaru site is now saying 87 Octane. Reviews at Car and Driver listed it as needing Premium Gas. At this point I would say check with a dealer or write Subaru of America, I sent them an email about upgrading 12 the 12 speaker Harmon Kardon stereo and it was not an option. Oddly enough there is an option for a Rockford Fosgate upgrade.
