MDX or RX are my picks. Totally different vehicles though.
I agree, contact Pierceman. He can get you in an Acura or point you towards a Lexus Salesman if you really want a Lexus. That guy knows everyone.

We love Mrs. Raptor's MDX. We're leaving for Big Bear for a week on Sunday. We do this every year and take two cars. We load the dogs, the scopes, and our stuff in the MDX and I drive separately in the S. We do Astronomy at night, tear up the mountain in the S, and go offroading in the MDX. I'll be in hog heaven.
PM Pierceman.

It's a proper SUV.
Having been in all three cars and driven all but the MDX, I can honestly say that the LR3 definitely has far more appeal and real style to it than the other two choices.
If you just want a solid all-around "big car", sure go with the MDX.
If you want a name-brand and don't really give a rat's ass about the performance, go with the RX (mind you, my mother drives an RX330 and even she complains about its lack of real SUV performance).
If you care a bit about an SUV being an SUV and like the Land Rover name, I don't see what's wrong with the LR3.
If you're coming out with the typical "it's American and it'll break" trash-talk, feel free. But within the past three years I've owned a Ford, a VolksWagen, and the S2000; and really, the previous two weren't any less reliable than the S2000. When they DID have problems, I didn't have to deal w/ rude dealers (every single Honda dealer has been absolute trash for service, save for maybe Honda World in Downey): every Ford and VW dealership I ever visited treated me like a king.
But coming back from that tangent, I'd like to know why you're so quick to throw a frowning face and pompously declare that the LR3 is "junk".
