I would also take the MDX if I had to choose between the MDX and the RX350 mainly because of the third row seating. I think the MDX handles a lot better and is faster. The only thing I don't like about the MDX is its looks although I'm not a huge fan of the RX350 looks either.

I also wanted the GX frame and drivetrain because I think it is one of the best SUV's on the market. But I wanted a lower profile vehicle. So the 4runner limited was perfect fit for my needs. I don't like car based SUV's so the MDX and RX were not even on my radar.

Yeah you are right, the RX is faster. I guess I was so used to comparing the GX to the MDX that I forgot about this since the MDX is faster than the GX.

My main reason for not getting the GX is I wanted the Toyota quality but I wanted a lower profile vehicle. Thats why I got the 4runner. The GX is a good looking car and I would be proud to own one.

That its a classy high quality vehicle that women like to drive. Orange county is a high dollar area and the GX470 reflects that someone is successful. I got the 4runner which is driven more by middle class and does not carry that image. I did not want that image for my 2nd vehicle. I'm single and needed a vehicle that when I first start dating a women I don't want her to think I have "money". Plus when I go to a country western bar I don't want a Mercedes or Lexus sitting in the parking lot for the red necks to use as a target.
