Okay so I went and took some cars for a test drive.
First let me say that the Audi A4 ruined me - nothing seems to compare but I think the RDX is better than the CRV because it has turbo (however, you can hear the turbo part of the engine when you accelerate).
Also the CRV has the center seatbelt coming from the ceiling (no thanks - I hate that feature in our Pilot) and although it has LATCH in the center I don't like not being able to have a user friendly seatbelt.
The RDX is nice but I had a hard time finding the LATCH anchors (when I felt for them) plus I don't know how much more width it will give me - definately more leg room.
I did test drive the Audi Q7 - drives really nice, great back seat (here is something interesting the LATCH anchors aren't hidden between the seats they are recessed in the actual seat and you can see them). The only draw back to this car is the trunk part - it is roomy length and width wise but it doesn't have alot of height.
So I guess the search continues....I'm just not sure what I want and although I liked the Q7 and RDX I don't know if in the long run I will be happy.
Back to searching for other possibilities.....................
