RELIABILITY and DURABILITY!!!

Thanks for the clarification on Sunny - kinda funny actually. Glad I watched my tone responding.
Again, agree do disagree, now on another point. Your Mitsubishi and Toyota are not performance vehicles regardless of the HP difference to the X5 3.0. Putting a race car engine into an Avalon won't make it a high performance vehicle either. The brakes, transmission, suspension, steering, tires, wheels, driving position and a bunch of other things including a host of electronics are involved here. Moreover, it's the packaging of all these technical & mechanical components/systems that gives a vehicle a performance label. Sorry to tell you but your Toyota and Mitsubishi (albeit nice cars in your view) are among the farthest from performance you can get in late model cars.
