A thermoplastic composition, comprising:

• a poly(arylene ether);
• a poly(alkenyl aromatic) resin;
• a polyolefin;
• a hydrogenated block copolymer of an alkenyl aromatic compound and a conjugated diene, wherein the hydrogenated block copolymer has an alkenyl aromatic content of about 40 to about 90 weight percent;
• a polypropylene-polystyrene graft copolymer or an unhydrogenated block copolymer of an alkenyl aromatic compound and a conjugated diene;
• and
• a reinforcing filler.

A thermoplastic composition, comprising:

• about 10 to about 55 weight percent of a poly(arylene ether);
• about 1 to about 50 weight percent of a poly(alkenyl aromatic) resin;
• wherein the amount of poly(alkenyl aromatic) resin is at least about 10 weight percent of the total of the poly(arylene ether) and the poly(alkenyl aromatic) resin;
• about 10 to about 60 weight percent of a polyolefin;
• about 1 to about 20 weight percent of a hydrogenated block copolymer of alkenyl aromatic compound and a conjugated diene having an alkenyl aromatic content of about 40 to about 90 weight percent;
• about 0.1 to about 10 weight percent of a polyolefin-graft-cyclic anhydride copolymer;
• and
• about 1 to about 50 weight percent of a reinforcing filler;
• wherein all weight percents are based on the total weight of the composition.
