Oh I forgot the Murano looks good in the low $30's but maxed out near $40K I'd go for the MDX. The MDX is like a cross between the Pilot and the Murano. It looks more stylish and is more powerful than the Pilot and can tote more people than the Murano. It's the happy medium.

We test drove both the Pilot and the FX35 this evening, and there is no doubt they are two completely different animals, both of which excel in their own arenas.

The Pilot offered a nearly flawless ride, and is clearly the class leader in the Midsize SUV class. Like many, I am not overly thrilled with its styling though.

The FX35 was truly an exhilirating ride - very impressive. I would consider myself a Honda fanatic, but this is one vehicle that may sway me. It is an incredible combination of sports car and utility vehicle. Our tester had the Tech Package which was loaded with Nav and Rear DVD - not to mention 20" alloys. The only thing that is holding me back is my wariness of its resale value.

While we were at the Infiniti dealer, we drove the G35 Coupe as well - also very impressive, although the fit and finish of the FX was far superior IMO.
