Maybe you were thinking of some other car ?
1) soccer mom/woman drives all types of car (some even drive X5 and Blazers)
2) You are right it could look better.
3) Its got a 3.5-liter, 269-hp V6, that makes it as fast as a X3 and it gets much better mpg (on regular). It is also much faster than a Blazer.
4) It has a 3500lbs towing cap, with v6 and trailer package.
5) It is 4 wheel drive

I wish they made a Limited Sport version.

It will run for ever with lower maintenance cost.

It does not drive like a BMW, it does look as nice (inside and out), and does not offer the prestige. But for $25,000 it's not a bad deal and does meet most of your criteria. (Much better than the HHR someone recently purchased)
