I get the SUV market, but I just can see me buying a compact SUV (even though the pathfinder is likely close to the same size as the macan/x3).

Stylistically, I like the Ford Flex, although I found it to be a bit long (for my family and needs). I actually like Ford, as a whole, and do appreciate the recent Mustang models. I did not care for the Edge, nor what the Escape has become. I see nothing wrong with the Explorer, although they have been growing a lot larger over the years. I've liked the older pathfinder models although think the current generation (not sure of the number) is a bit big (for me and mine). "They" say the the current BMW x3 is the same size as the original x5 that came out years ago. I had considered the Range Rover sport, although it was a little bigger, little more money, and I have little faith in their reliability. As we've both said, I think it depends on needs and I don't have my own business, nor the need for the extra row of seats so the small SUV (SAV) market is where I fall. I still don't understand the pickup market, though. I'm going to see the Macan tomorrow after a local PCA rally. I'm curious about it, but not in the market for another 6-7 years. I'll see what it's become then.
