I'm surprised you were able to find one - mostly there are stories by people who practicially had to threaten their dealers to even look for one. I'm personally not too keen on buying something that rare and that local dealers have no experience fixing. However, I have not heard of problems.

If that is the KDSS, I have never seen one here in NJ, but there are many on this board that swear by it. Do a search for it on this forum and you will see many reviews and members that would only own a GX with it.

We are going to take a test drive in it next Tuesday. I will post back my opinion on the KDSS.

Yea, I would like to know everyones opinion on this as well. My wifes X5 is off lease in December so we have been looking. We would really like a 3rd row seat. She has driven the Q7 at the Audi event this past summer. They had a Lexus GX and a Volvo XC90 there to compare it to and the Q7 was hands down the best handling and most responsive of them. Unfortunately the GX got the worst marks for handling but the interior is very nice. My wife really wants the GX but after driving it along side the Q7 it is hard to really go that way. She just drove the new MB GL470 and really, really likes it. Not crazy about the way the exterior looks but the thing drives great and really excellent fit and finish. So we are presently in the same situation as to what to buy. I read a post in the LX forum about comparing the new MB GL to the LX. Some really good stuff in there. I think we can get a good deal on the GX since they are not selling as crazy as they once did. I think we would buy the GL if they were not so new and they offered some better deals. The new X5 right now is out of the question because the one we have right now is way to stiff to drive around with kids in the back. The new, longer wheelbase X5 may have improved that. She also went to the Acura dealer to look at the new MDX with the 3rd row seating. Apparently it is not out yet but the pricing seems good. As of right now the GL is top on our list with the GX or LX second and waiting on driving the new X5 and MDX. We even may look at the Lincoln Navigator. I know...why? Well my father retired from Ford and I can get A Plan pricing on it. So I can get a big SUV at the best price doing that. It will be good to hear what others have to say about this.

one look at the new navigators exterior/interior design will make you wish you never glimpsed something so abominable and unthinkable
MDX according to the brochure can pull .85g lateral with the sport package (adaptive suspension) so if you are concerned about handling the MDX should be a worthy contender and far under and price of any X5 or Q7

Hey
Don't know if you know but Lexus JX is being made of existing Toyota Sequoia platform So its definately not X3 or RDX group. ALso it will be replacing LX. They can't replace LX with a small compact SUV.

Our GX 470's lease is up in June, and my wife has informed me that her next truck will not serve for "ranch truck" duties. She really wanted the X5 when we leased the GX, but not being a true off-roader and having insufficient interior and head room (for me) ruled it out.
I showed her the 07 X5 photos, and she has declared it her next car, assuming the interior room has improved. I'm looking at a 2003-2004 Discovery or Grand Cherokee to serve as the "ranch truck".

THread I started showing the new X5 review. I think it now actually weighs MORE than a GX at 5300 lbs. And in the review, they said the 3rd row seats were just useless.
