#102 of 178 RE. Need help deciding between Lexus GX470 & GL450 by mercara Aug 31, 2006 (11:25 am)
A key point you have missed in your comparison between both is the reliability, but I suppose since it is a lease you really don't have to worry too much about long term reliability and resale value. One thing that surprised me about my 1999 M class was the huge depreciation that I had to take when I sold it. Replies to this message: buckaroo067 (Aug 31, 2006 12:47 pm)

In that case GL maybe the way to go, I think GL is much more advanced technologically and with much more features.   I am tempted to upgrade from my Landcruiser to GL, but I want wait and see until I get more news about the Lexus LX470/Landcruiser replacement. I will most likely get the diesel GL320 CDI.   Tini Replies to this message: buckaroo067 (Sep 05, 2006 3:08 pm) wopel (Sep 05, 2006 4:00 pm)
#105 of 178 Can't decide GL/MDX-X by wopel Sep 02, 2006 (11:07 am)
Well, I've been waiting and looking, and now Acura is coming out with the MDX-X which is supposed to be a bit larger than the MDX. It's certainly going to be priced better than the GL, but it too will be a new model. The GL does what I want it to do, but the price is high with the add-ons. Also why are they taking so long with the 320? I at least have discounted the Lexus suv's because they are so truck-like. I have every reason to believe the Acura will be reliable. I have had a number of MB's in my life and they are all still alive and well long after I was done with them! What's a person to do?

MDX-X ? Is that a long wheel base MDX? The new MDX looks smaller than the current model. One thing that I don't like about the current MDX is the back reast of the middle (second)row seat. They stop about four inches below the shoulder and you have to keep the headrest all the way up. Very uncomfortable for long trips. Also the towing capacity is only 3500 lbs.

Replying to: mercara (Sep 02, 2006 2:49 pm) Sorry, I think I had too many x's in my MDX. I got a brochure from Acura and they use MD-X and MDX. Anyway, the new one is supposed to be longer and wider - 30% larger than the 2006. Acura is proud that they tested/tweeked it a the Nurenbirging(sp?) track. It's supposed to be more car-like and less truck-like. USA Today and Automotive News both think well of it. The price is certainly easier to swallow - between $41,000 and $48,000. They will be out at the end of September, so I can wait a little longer. I still like the GL a lot.

Replying to: mercara (Sep 01, 2006 11:10 am) Well ... I finally decided to get the GX470 (Loaded 2006 model with Navi, Lexus Link, Rear Seat entertainment, etc). I still like the GL a whole lot better but the size and the price difference was a deterrent for my wife. i will definitely go back to Mercedes next time Replies to this message: wopel (Sep 05, 2006 4:00 pm)

Replying to: buckaroo067 (Sep 05, 2006 3:08 pm) You might wish you waited for the Acura 2007 MDX. I, too, looked at the GX, but it's so old-school...
