The only game in town for three row buses for people like us who value the driving experience are the Q7 and XC90. The Volvo doesn't have a convincing power train as far as I am concerned, but looks amazing inside and out. The Q7 looks like a chiseled fridge outside, but is amazing inside and drives very well.

The X7 will have a real uphill battle to beat the Q7, at least based on initial looks.
I have to disagree on pretty much all of your comments. First, the Rover interior is very nice, much better than any existing bmw suv. Plus, the rover has pretty decent off-road capability . The gl drives nice, especially the amg variant. The q7 is my least favorite of the lot. If you really want and suv that drives well, the Cayenne is the way to go but it doesn't check boxes some need. I definitely am looking forward to the x7.
