Had no idea about the X1 underpinnings. Interesting. Did not think of the X1, but that will blow past the 25K parameter.

That is a new name for me, will check it out. Thought about the Fusion, but I'd rather "buy up" to the MINI. Fusion is a sharp looking little car, though.

Have not seen the new Edge...does it meet the 35mpg requirement, I wonder? Just read the SUV comparos in the May 2011 Motor Trend and the Explorer came in dead last. Not just last, but "stuff falling off the car last". And it still has Bambi legs. Pity, 'cause that is a great looking vehicle now.
