[NoJusticeNoPeace]

considering Highlander hybrid

or

Lexus NX200t

or

The Volvo's XC60 or 70

Anybody have input as to good, bad or whatever on any of these?

1. My input is that you evidently have a lot more money than I do. :)

I don't know anything about those cars.

2. The NX200T looks great

Especially in in F-Sport trim.

There is a hybrid version of the NX that I was interested in, but you can't get it with F-Sport trim at the moment in the USA.

3. Even without hybrid the mileage is great, I have to drive one though, reason I am

looking is I have 4 cylinder Outback and the cabin/road noise and cabin comfort is not to my liking.

Concerned about same here with the NX

4. The Volvos will have extremely high cost of long term maintenance.

I owned one and my parents owned like three of them. As they approach the 100,000 mile mark, the cost of replacing the engine and other critical components gets rather ridiculous. If you're doing a short term lease with a maintenance plan, then I can see owning one. If you're going to own it for 6 years or more you're better off with the Lexus or Highlander. Alternately I would suggest the Nissan Murano or Ford Escape.
