Default Wife needs an SUV. What to get???

Well the wife is pregnant with our first(A BOY!!) and she is wanting something with a little more room. We were pretty set on getting this Infiniti FX35 Sport, but after driving it we really didnt like it so back to square one we go. She wants to stay with a midsize SUV rather than a Fullsize but said she would probably get use to a fullsize after a while. There are Pros and Cons of all the ones listed and if somebody has sugestions on anything else feel free to voice your opinion. THANKS!!

EDIT- I know our choices are a little all over the place but there really isnt a clear favorite.

IMO get the Tahoe. Something thats very safe for your family, and has pretty much no real maintenance. Would be my 1st choice.

Out of the 4 you have listed, I have to say Tahoe. My wife drives an Envoy and it is ok size wise, but we both want to upgrade her to a tahoe when the time comes.

Tahoe, My parents bought an 09 LTZ since they wanted plenty of room for the future grand kids. Currently theres only 1 grand kid but you get the picture. You might as well get what your shooting for since your going to be paying for it the next few years.

My Sister in law bought a 06 Murano back in 08, now she has a 4 month old and is looking at a Tahoe as well after riding in my parents a while back.

I vote tbss. Its still a mid size, but with some bite lol. A hoe is another option, but I think a tbss is plenty of room for up to 2 kids.

How about a 4runner? You can get one with the 4.7 V8 and AWD, supercharge it if you got the $$$
