I honestly cannot stand riding in a car without CVT! The RX400 has spoiled me rotten. I was going to buy the long awaited Mercedes GL 320cdi bluetec and now considering just waiting and getting the next 400h redesign. I was going to give my 400h to my wife but reconsidering it now.

Hmmm - this thread has me concerned about the dealer I went to. He had me drive the 400, elling me it drove EXACTLY like the '09 350. Doesn't seem like that is the case, is it?
I've been wavering between the Acura RDX or paying more for the RX350. This is creating a little push towards the RDX.
