Hondas are the rarity in NA fleets - every now and then a Civic or Accord or lower Acura will pop up somewhere, but it is very uncommon.
Optima has been a fixture in fleets for years now.

Sooo... I've got the RDX and FX35 in the lead, surprisingly enough, with the H3 close behind. The GLK is only a 15, although my gut was telling me it is in the lead. Huh. Maybe I have to have weighted scoring where desirability means more. Haha.

I actually do this kind of stuff when I am looking (will do for houses too soon, I hope!). And need to have a minimum score for each category, below which is automatic elimination.
the RDX, is that a 12 or before? Ever look at the current version? You might like it! If nothing else, fast and comfortable, besides dead reliable.
If I took your list, and worked it for me, I would eliminate the Terrain, FX35, and H3. Just don't like those. Love the S60, even if it might not be the smartest idea! The prior generation RDX does intrigue me.
I would add the X3 and X1 too.

The 3800 in the Lacrosse never felt torquey because of the transmission issues, it always felt like it was slipping and the engine laboring. In fact, one time when it was in the service dept for a few days with the trans out of it, I got an '08 Lacrosse as a loaner and it drive way, way better. I could see why people liked the torque of the 3800. Unfortunately the one I owned never was able to show that off. It's too bad because I liked the quiet driving experience, the much more posh interior than the Intrigue (the Buick's leather seats were awesome), and the smooth ride. I should have just asked them to swap transmissions with the one in the loaner!

As soon as Silvercar opens up in San Diego, I'm all about it! I think all they have is silver loaded quattro A4's though. Closest one is LAX, and San Diegans don't do LA very well.

I have, however, decided I really need a Comfort category that could change things up, but that will have to wait for test drives of course. There are also some oddballs I have not even put on the list that might warrant a test drive just because we know I'm goofy like that. Caddy of Lincoln pickup anyone? ;b

I would say your top 4 are a statistical tie. so, either weed them out by test drive, or add more categories like comfort. if still tied, just search for them all, and buy the best unit/price you can find!
my guess, the H3 is going to ride/drive/feel much different than the others (and not in what I would think is a good way!). But as always, YMMV

but that is kind of where the escalade comes in. It is more than an avalanche thanks to the bigger engine. And that is also what helps it accelerate fairly briskly. Likely way too big and heavy for me, I'm sure.

QB, you need the V6 in the Terrain/Equinox. It's a nice vehicle, but the four-banger is completely gutless and not up to the task of motivating a 4,000+ lb. SUV. It's not like a CR-V, which weighs about as much as an Accord.

I actually kicked around buying one if I could have found a nice one while I was mulling over the Cobra. I was also looking at 350Z 'verts. The 350Zs I found in that price range were all ratted out, though.....after market body parts, ripped up interiors to install poor stereos, etc.
Plus, most were automatics. The Z3s were just the opposite, most were manuals.

I liked the "payment calculator" at the bottom of the ad. It shows a monthly payment of $1.05. Hey, I could have this baby paid off in 952 months! Are there car payments in heaven?
By all means, get a PPI--these aren't cheap cars to fix. I agree, a 3.0 Coupe would be the sweet spot on this model.
