dont forget the Audi Q7
looks pretty good

side profile of JX looks good but the front will take some time for me to get used to

MDX still has superior handling, so will X5
Acura's SH-AWD is really something special, and it shows on an SUV
maybe when SH-AWD II comes out with the hybrid motors, the decision will be much easier to make?

My sister just got one, paid $46250 for a $512XX MSRP without negotiations (State Farm car buying program). It seems OK to me. All panels, leather, woods(real or fake???) look well put together. Our dad said that my RX looks better, duh.....she is his "golden child" though.

Side by side pics......don't questions the big white elephant on the far side

I’m not into suv or minivans but I think the JX looks pretty good. Plus who are you going to be racing in a suv anyway. No matter what you do don’t buy a minivan. You will lose all cool points in my book. Every time I see a guy in a minivan I shake my head. Did you really spend your money on a minivan? Just buy a van dude!

JX is Ok if you're looking for something in the class. BTW. Never thought the RX was much of a looker myself. It's a wash in the styling department.

The Explorer also offers the 3.5L Ecoboost, but apparently is not a "true" 7 seater? It is quite nice though, the RX isn't that much better in the luxury department.
