Which models did you cross shop with the LX?
I am looking for a couple large SUV's for my business.
I'm cross shopping all options but I'm settled down to LX570, Infiniti QX56 and the Range Rover.
Comparing the first two, I find them to be somewhat similar, the QX actually has more legroom than the LX and has better MPG. Quality appears to be the same and I tend to favor the QX in terms of overall looks.
What SUVs did you guys cross shop? why did you end up with the LX in the end?
P.S. I love Lexus and really want to go with LX but I really have to admit the QX seems like a better alternative.

Those were the same choices I cross shopped with, and the same cars my parents are cross shopping with now. From research and talking to people, this is what I learned:
The LX is well made, pleasant to drive, and will last me forever.
The QX is at least as nice fit and finish wise as the LX, but after 3 years it will be used up and time for a new car.
The Range Rover is sportier than both the LX and QX, is reliable but has "quirks" (this is what a salesman told me). When I asked what exactly a "quirk" is, he said that there will probably always be something that isn't working or is behaving oddly. He also said that overall the car would be reliable and that they give free rental cars for when your Range Rover is in the shop...
So yeah, that's why I went with the LX.

Oh, I wasn't saying I think the RR is reliable, I was just pointing out that the salesman said it was very reliable, explaining that all the problems we hear about are just "quirks." I loved driving the RR, but definitely recognize that it has terrible reliability.
And considered the GL550, but after driving a GL450 around for a couple months I was turned off to the model. Just not my type of car.
