I know, what makes this even more interesting is the objectivity of this ranking. It's not their own opinion or some specific reviewer's opinion, it's based on a consensus of America's top automotive experts.

RX and MDX not rated- I wonder what would change if the reliability of the SUVs was taken into the account?

I guess the RX and the MDX is not consider a compact crossover.

Look closer, you have to go to the bottom of the list. The RDX tied for last. It never makes the top 10 sales list either. MDX is the next size up.

we own the #1 and #2 vehicles in the rankings. I'm very impressed with the ex35's handling. It also produces an exhaust tone that is just wonderful. The only thing holding that car back is it's small size but then again it probably wouldn't handle as well as it does if it were larger. looks are subjective.

Isn't the EX quite a bit smaller than the Q5? I remember thinking that the the Q5 compares with the FX and that the EX was quite smaller and competes with the likes of the upcoming Q3 or BMW's X1?
