These cars aren't crossovers though

And it is good to see the Lexus is being compared with Q5 and GLK now, not not with Q7 and ML.

Yes, I agree.....Toyota/Lexus was too eager in their marketing way back with their RX in the comparison stakes....

Volvo and Lexus over Mercedes.........

1. MB GLK - Good looks
2. AUDI Q5 - Wonderful lil suv
3. Lexus - Ahh it's ok, but nothing special (I think of it as more of a M-class competitor
4. Volvo - Good safety...but I hate the seat belt grill/symbol

I'm suprised they didn't include the X3.

Actually given it's size the RX is a ML competitor. Might not serve the same purpose or function, but it is very similar.

Im starting to warming up on the XC60. I was against it in the beginning but now I like it. The exterior is better than the competition.

The GLK interior just looks to be a couple of steps behind the competition. Too much plastic, too many shut lines, to many weird shapes and angles coming together and just looks old.

Hopefully the steering can be and will be fixed in the facelift.

Q5 or GLK would be my pic , i don't like the interior of the XC60 at all and RX is a bit bland...
