FX35..worth trading a RX330?
At the moment I have a RX330. It's a great SUV. Quiet, dependable, luxurious, and get decent gas milage..about 21 mpg with average driving. I've always liked the RX, but it's a little boring to drive. I also bought the RX because I needed the room for a stroller and other items you bring when you have a toddler. Well I think Infiniti is having some great deals with the FX35 right now. I've always like the sporty look, but is it worth trading for the more untilitarian RX? Does the FX35 have better handling? For those who have owned or driven both, what do you think?

Have not driven and personally would not buy either one but if I had to choose between the two I would choose the FX any day of the week over an RX.Higher class,better looks, more performance.

I've driven both and I can confirm that the FX has hands down better handling. I am very impressed with the FX as an SUV. I just wish it had 1 more gear. Plus it looks alot better, but looks are subjective. I also think that the interior is alot sharper, especially wiht the black leather interior.

Toureg would be tops if it wasn't built by VW. I went to their forums and it reminded me of the LR3 forums I also visited. 1/2 the post were complaints on defects, not the route I want to take.

i'd wager anything the lex is more reliable than the egg
The lex may be a little more reliable than the Infiniti, but the difference in reliability between Lexus/Infiniti is comparable to that of Toyota/Honda.
