| I am totally in love with my new X!! I am looking to buy a new car now (not to replace the new X). I am looking for a mid-sized SUV that has at least some capability in the snow (unlike my BMW X3 3.0i). That is a joke car. Thanks! |

Have you consider, Toyota PJ Cruiser? Lexus RX? Audo Q7? -OR- Which model have you consider? |

| I'm all hot for the RDX. Can't wait to see one in person and take a test drive. |

What is wrong with the MDX in the snow?
Just glad I do not have that concern.

| The MDX works AWSOME in the snow! I have taken it on the back city ally-ways where the plows don't get to and I have never gotton stuck. I LOVE MY X!! My other car the BMW X3 3.0i is a piece of junk. That thing cant pull its-self out of a snowbank to save its life. IT cant even push the trailer on the back up my driveway, and the MDX can without any problems! I do like the RDX. Is is in dealerships yet? |

What are your priorities? Is reliability high on the list? If so, then you can eliminate half of those listed above based on that. Do need size, speed, handling? The RDX is small, with an average 0-60, but will likely handle better than others because of sh-awd, and be reliable. |

| yea.. you are right. I previously owned a E500 Mercedes and loved it. I had only to visit the dealer when the oil-change was due. I think I am between the RX, the RDX, and the ML. Which do you think will do the best in the snow? |

| For a guy, BMW X5 4.4/4.8, Infiniti FX-45, ML500 (must be AMG) the new Audi Q7 or something sportier and for a lady, its the MDX. |

| Probably either the '08 or '09 RDX! |

I'm not wild about the H3. When you drive that thing around everyone knows how much it cost you. What have you heard about the GL?? The FX and RX are nice though. |

Yeah I wouldn't ever buy an H3 either. The FX is a reliable car. I have seen a few GLs on the road and i got a chance to sit in one at a car show and it is very luxerious. But as far as reliablity i would bet that is poor because it is a Mercedes plus it is a first year model. |

You're totally right! The FX is a very nice looking suv. I'm concerned about roll-over ratings for these cars since a drunk tipped my Range Rover and...yea. Only minor injuries though. |

Why do you want to drive something that looks like a tank? |

Happyowner,
What does your family do for living if you don't mind me asking? |

Happyowner,
Why would you want 3 SUVs in your family?
But those are all excellent choices! :29:
I went to the Audi event and the Q7 is fantastic....my wife and I love it very much except the 3rd row. |
|
|
| deejay |
| The more SUV's the better! Who cares about gas prices anyway!! Sometimes I have my teenager drive and I sit in the 3rd row. lol. Why are the steering wheel controls not lit up though?? UGGHH! |
