For philosophical reasons the only American company I would look at is the Ford Motor Company. I'd take a close look at the Taurus X and the Flex. They offer 7 passenger seating. The Forester would be my hands down favorite, despite only seating five, if Subaru could convince themselves to get rid of the archaic 4-speed auto and replace it with a 6-speed auto. Even Ford managed to pull that off. Otherwise, it would most likely be a Toyota RAV4.
