For US options, you're looking at a Jeep SRT or Ford Explorer Sport. I prefer the former, but understand the cost difference is significant.
What about your Japanese options?
My vote also goes with the Volvo XC-90. Looks great, is pretty quick, and doesn't raise eyebrows (like you are referring to the German vehicles).

I don't see me getting the explorer sport, if I get the explorer it will probably be the full size. The volvo does look great in pics, need to go see it in person. Not the best looking car from the exterior, but great interior, and nice tech.
The real question is if I am going to stick to my principles and refuse to lease a car with an absurdly low residual, or will I give into my wants and get the SRT anyways. For reference the residual on the top of the line volvo is 58% on a 36 month lease and 10k miles, the residual on an srt is 46%.
