Well said. Your sensible comments are appreciated. (I'm glad at least one BMW owner in here can respond intelligently) I actually feel the same way you do. I still may opt to pay the premium and go for an X3, but there are also other models that offer a strong alternative -- depending on your priorities.   bodble2… nice to hear about your thirst for intelligent responses. But I remind you, below is how you lit the fuse around here—snob appeal and badge buying. It will always do the trick.   But with the price difference....the Toyota is a pretty compelling option. So I'm thinking...reliability in exchange for some luxury, and you pocket the extra cash (which is enough to buy a Yaris for the son/daughter entering college). Not a bad deal. But of course, it is not a BMW, so if the snob appeal of the propeller badge and kidney grill is important...   So when you respond sarcastically… Oh...I get it. Nothing drives like a BMW… I’m led to believe that if you do buy an X3 it will be for the badge. Too bad you would pay the premium and not understand what you are paying for. If this is the case, I would suggest getting the Rav4 and saving the money.

Replying to: kdshapiro (Dec 20, 2005 4:28 am) kd, I was being sarcastic. I know you can (and should) cross-shop anything you want.

Yep, I read the CD article last week; I've been a subscriber since 1970. FWIW, I also subscribe to Automobile, Autoweek, R&T, and Thoroughbred & Classic Cars- not to mention Cycle World and Motorcycle Classics. I also pick up Car, Grassroots Motorsports, and Top Gear from time to time. As for the RAV4, it sounds like a competent vehicle-just not my cup of tea. The only Toyotas that interest me are the various permutations of the Mister Two. And as for Lexus, they make the best darn Buicks in the world! Now, one final time: How many BMWs have you driven? Thought so. Replies to this message: victord1 (Dec 20, 2005 9:28 pm) and 4 more...
#2341 of 3287 let's get back to the topic please by steve_ HOST Dec 20, 2005 (11:38 am)
And the topic is the X3.   There's four or five comparison topics in the archives that we'll be happy to reopen (or feel free to start an X3 v RAV4 one).   If you just want to rant about other cars or other drivers, may I suggest:   ""Wouldn't Be Caught Dead Driving One""   and   "You Are What You Drive!?"   Steve, Host
