I think that is why I keep leaning back towards the Subaru - each model pretty much is multiuse.

Make sure you compare the current year model (if you're looking at buying new) to a SHAWD version from 2009 or so because it has changed and the comparison may be instructive to you in terms of what you want your car to feel like. Was for me.

I was nearly ready to go in and get the latest RDX, then I was in California and watched the gas prices jump nearly 20% almost overnight. What did you like so much about the RDX?

Did you find the Lexus too 'grandpa' like?
