Any E70 X5s available with 40/20/40 rear seat?
There are so many packages and options and variants I can't tell.
I saw an F15 the other day at the dealer (they hadn't even prepped it yet) and it did have such a rear seat, which was awesome. Unfortunately every E70 I've seen only has 40/60 rear seat with a fold down armrest and possible ski pass through, but not a true fold down middle seat. I'm considering picking up a lightly used X5 (2011-2013) with the third row seating, but I'm very concerned that the rear-most row feels too isolated without the ability to fold down the center seat in the second row. With a third child coming, our kids will be 5, 3, and <1, and we want to be able to reach back to pass things to/from our 5 year old. So, am I stuck with either an F15 (just too $$ for what I'm looking for) or another vehicle altogether? Thanks

How about a Honda Pilot, Acura MDX, Mazda CX5?

Not a big fan of the Honda Pilot, though we did try the new MDX. Nice car, but it's kind of a jack of all trades, master of none. Not quite the performer that the X5 is, nor as nice or feature-rich as the Q7, nor as cheap as the Ford Explorer. I did try the Explorer Sport and really liked it, to be honest, but i feel like it should be about $4-5k cheaper. I even get employee discount pricing on it based on my employer, and even with that and the incentives, an appropriately optioned Explorer Sport is about $43k. For that price I can get a very nice X5 or Q7 lightly used.
I looked at the Mazda CX-9 a couple years ago when we ended up buying a Sienna for my wife. Nice enough, but not what I'm looking for for a daily driver. Good idea with the sawzall
