Lincoln MKX advice
#31
The Navigator handily outsells the Land Cruiser. Remember, 99% of the people who are shopping in this segment aren't buying these to go 4 wheeling, they're buying them to drive around town, to the mall, to the grocery store, etc and they're leasing them.

I do not understand how on Earth does the Land Cruiser or LX570 get mentioned in an MKX thread.

It got started in a discussion here about the the prices of luxury SUVs, and how some mainstream non-luxury manufacturers (like Toyota) charge luxury-prices....or more. And, don't forget, last year, you were one of the ones on the forum complaining about the high (60K) price of the top-line, loaded MKX I was reviewing, even though MKXs can be bought, with less equipment and in lower-line versions, for much less.

The MKX is an overpriced Ford Edge
And toyota sold about 800 lc AND lx combined last month so not really a market factor.

And, of course, at 83-85K, there's nothing really under-priced about the Land Cruiser, either LOL.

i'm just using tex's logic. i don't agree the lx is an overpriced land cruiser. if i wanted to spend that much on a vehicle and its high running costs (gas!), i'd love to have an lx570. it's quirky sure, and very old, but it's a supremely smooth air ride with lots of room and excellent reliability.

The LX570 is not an overpriced Land Cruiser because not only does it have better materials it comes with a much higher level of service that you would expect from a Lexus dealership vs. a Toyota dealership. For some, the additional money is worth the service alone.

I'm not a mod, but it seems like we're getting off-topic with the LC and LX.
Back to the new MKX..........Lalin (the OP), Consumer Reports doesn't seem to have a whole lot of reliability data yet for the new 2016 MKX, but preliminary rests seem to indicate an average reliability record, significantly better then that of the smaller MKC.

- Audi SQ5
- Jaguar F Pace
- Cadillac XT5
- Lincoln MXC
In that order.

The XT5 is much larger than the others on your list. It is very close to RX350 and MKX in size and price. I drove one of the early deliveries at the local dealer, and it is really close to the RX in about every catagorie. It is nice inside, quiet, with pretty good acceleration but the low speed ride is a bit stiff.

The current gen is now in its 9th model year and while still competitive some areas are in need of updating. Great vehicle overall though. It's our first Audi and has been a great experience.
