If you're potentially going to put 150,000 miles on the vehicle while you own it, you'll be happier over the long haul with the Lexus. Not only is the predicted reliablility better, the warranty is there to back it up. To really get a good idea of the longevity, compare 2007 RX's for sale to 2007 RDX's. Find some with over 100,000 miles on them and test drive each one. Both of those are previous generations, but it will still tell you a lot about how each vehicle will hold up.

I drove hte turbo 4 on the old RDX, it was noisy as hell with the turbo. The RDX was about $10K cheaper new than the RX, you can't compare used car prices of the same year...

I was looking at new RDX and too have felt disappointed on the lack of rear AC vents. My 02 TL-S has it. In addition, no LED tail light and daytime running light. No blind spot monitor too and rear seats do not slide backward for more leg room or forward for more cargo room. For some reason, RDX's electric power steering is much lighter than RX, even lighter than my TL-S. RX's one weights much better on turn and on highway speed.

But yes, 13 RDX AWD with Navi is around 6-8K cheaper than 13 RX AWD equivalent.

Last year I test drove the new RDX with the 6cyl. I wasn't that impressed.Since the new style had just came out they wanted over$40k for it. I test drove the 2012 RX and it was game over. I basically paid $3500.00 more for my RX but the Lexus wins hands down.
My Wife did not like the interior of the Acura at all. It can not compare with the Rx interior.
Go for the RX-350 you won't be disappointed.

Default F Sport on Rear Door in Deep Sea Mica

NEW 2013 RDX vs CPO 2012 RX350-rear.jpg

Here is the rear view of the F Sport.
I added a F Sport Logo on the left side.
It was $32 at the Lexus store, the dealer had their name there and I made short work correcting that situation.
Looks like it belongs there.......gm
