Seems like there's no question the Durango would be the most pleasant one to drive and live with, day to day, though reliability, like with its brother Grand Cherokee, could be a concern. But, I think, to some extent, that they are selling both the Sorento and the Traverse a little short. I did a review on a new Sorento not long ago, and found it very quiet, refined and comfortable, not the harsh-riding sport-oriented vehicle they say it is. And the Traverse, like many newer GM products, has good fit/finish and would appeal to many as a good alternative to the Durango. I agree that the new Ford Explorer is a little disappointing and, IMO, somewhat pricey for what you get. I can't comment on the new full-size Santa Fe's driving experience (they seemed to like it, as it won). But I found the somewhat smaller, less-expensive Santa Fe Sport too firm-riding for my tastes.
EDIT--just priced out a Sorrento Limited on Kia.com--$40,000!! Holy smokes...
