Have you considered the Highlander? I've often found that unless wood trim or gold emblems are super important features, the toyota version of the vehicle can be found for hundreds, or even thousands less.

I liked how the RX350 drove. I drove a MDX right before it and the electric steering felt kind of sloppy. I really liked the MDX's quiet interior but between the sloppy steering and the poor interior build quality I decided it wasnt worth 35k. I always thought the Highlander was just a minivan that didnt want to be called a minivan but I guess I can give it a test drive. Its not really any cheaper though. The 2014s dont seem to exist and the 2015s are 35k. Also 3rd row seating... yuck

hey - how it drives means a lot.

The MDX? My friend has one - she's got 120k miles on it over the last 8 years or so... and it looks/feels brand new. The only interior issue she has is the leather rap on the center console storage is coming up. Otherwise - seriously? it is mint.
