The MDX is the most visually appealing to me.

as for those choices, id get the lexo rx for overall package deal and value. i actually like the X5 more, but i think the rx might be better in terms of overall maintainance cost and value :dunno:

If you're considering the Lexus RX330, also take a look at their hybrid variant.
Premium petrol will likely go over $4.00/ gallon this summer, so my mind would be on the most fuel-efficient solution on the market.

It isn't gay when they cost 60k new. We're spending 38-44k. 03-04 x5's loaded with navi and roughly 25-35k on them run in that price range.
so really... it isn't gay.

The new 350's run on 87 regular.

MPG difference is pretty substantial, but they dont offer the 400h with wood trim. Just comes in tacky fake aluminum. :thumbdown:
