Ew no.
These types of cars might as well have a “trying Too hard” sticker on them
Enjoy your Honda Pilot!
I don’t drive one of those but they’re nice.
Enjoy your loaner car (it’s better to have a reliable car than a fancy hunk of junk).
I lease and write the payments off, I've never had an issue under warranty.
I will humor a MD burbs soccer mom like yourself and explain why it's an objectively better car than whatever "I give up on life" econobox you drive. On the road it will do 0-60 in sub 5 seconds. Put your foot down to pass and you just get a wave of power. It has air suspension so it's extremely smooth and compliant over roads in the city. I drive on the beach at my IL's house, and it is one of the most capable off-road vehicles on the planet. It is essentially a leather-clad luxury hotel room with the off-road capability of a Jeep Wrangler.
I laughed out loud at this. Thank you.
- not an MD soccer mom, and so happy I don’t have to rely on a hunk of junk to get a wave of power.

We've been very happy with our Toyota Highlander. No real issues with it in the 7-8 years we've had it so far.
I think one of your first decision is whether you need/want 3rd row seating. Many SUVs like the Highlander and Pilot have 3rd row optional. If you have a family of 5 (or more), I'd consider a 3rd row even though 3 kids could seat in together in one row.
4 wheel drive will probably also be a primary decision. I thought we'd regret not getting 4WD but we haven't needed it (even in snow).
I believe rear-view cameras are default now (or should be) on all SUVs.

People are more cool in LA. DC folks are insecure snobs, thats why they need Range Rover to compensate
You mean dc metro area. People in dc proper don’t drive range rovers.

I can’t recommend Kia Sorento enough. I was in an accident in mine on Friday. I’ll need a new bumper. The car that hit me was totaled.

There are tons of Mazdas in this area. We don’t have one but the newer CX-5s are very nice and well rated.

We have been shopping recently and liked the Acura RDX best.
For a less expensive option, we liked the Mazda CX-5.
