I currently have the '01 RX300 with Nav system...
My other car's lease is about to expire soon and
I was thinking about getting the Acura MDX...
(because it makes no sense to have two '01 RX300s
in my garage... especially with a new Canada-built
RX coming in a year or so)

Anyone RX300 owners here who own both at the
same time? (or traded one for the other?)

P.S. where's the Acura MDX forum?

Thanks !!!

Default RX owner and former MDX owner

The MDX is gone, replaced by a BMW X5. My partner had the Acura. It was the SUV he loved to hate. The RX is luxury all the way, the MDX tried to be, but failed. Acura just cheapened up things (plastic wood, cheap looking plastic parts, non adjustable head rests front to rear, horrendous Boise audio system , no protection from door and panel scratches and dings etc). On the plus side lots of cargo space, decent ride, fit and finish were good. The Acura forum is at www.acuramdx.org.
P.S. There would be nothing wrong with two RX's.

How about a Toyota Highlander. Recieved very high ratings from consumer reports.

Default RX/MDX

A Highlander is not an RX300.

A Highlander may not be an RX300, but don't they share the same V6 engine and drivetran? It's built on the same plateform.
