X3 is kinda a womans/rich high school kids car don't you think? I mean I base that off of the fact that everytime I see one thats whos driving it, but to each his own.

Have you looked at a Rav4 or FJ? Both are very soild and capable trucks from toyota, also theres the MDX though as much as I don't like Acura it is afterall a nice truck.

I think the X3 is a great small/luxo/sport SUV and it has better driving dynamics than the Acura RDX. Personally I would wait until the 260hp version comes out.

Take a look at this video, it should make you feel good about your puchase: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_g5VyFdHIg&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Edpccars%2Ecom%2Fcar%2Dmovi es%2F08%2D28%2D06pageBMWX330iSE%2Ehtm

RDX is a hot new vehicle, X3 is not many are probably rotting on the lots, theres always a reason why its so dirt cheap

should we watch the Top Gear video where the X3 gets stuck at least 5x while trying to offroad, go look at the sales thread the significantly more expensive X5 has almost the same amount of YTD sales, that alone can show how fast X3s move off the lots, things are cheap for a reason

For 379 a month, I would take it over the RDX too (actually I would take it over the RDX regardless). Sounds like a great deal to me. How much down??

CX-7 is also a good alternative

The chasis of the RDX is exclusive only to itself. No other Honda or Acura shares the RDX's platform.

Well, being that the lease price point between the X3 and the RDX is so great, I'd probably get the X3 simply because of the cheaper lease deal. However, price aside I'd take the RDX all day over an X3. Personally, I don't care if the RDX is based off a CRV (Which as someone pointed out it is not) as long as it outperforms and X3 that is really all that matters. I also like the interior better. However, like someone mentioned, why not spend just a little more an lease an X5?
