Decisions: Murano or FX?

Nissans and Infinitis have traditionally been more reliable than Isuzu products ( although the last Trooper was better than average ). The Rodeo is a dated design and worse than average in reliability....so is the identical Honda Passport, which was actually a rebadged Rodeo. On the other hand, the Murano has what I think is a very cheap-looking dash and interior trim (so do many new Nissans). But it rides fairly well by SUV standards....the FX35 is stiff and the FX45 is even more stiff....it is a true sport SUV.
If it was my money, I would discount both of these choices and look seriously at the Lexus RX330. If the RX's price is a little steep for you, the Toyota Highlander is mechanically very similiar and a little less expensive and plush inside....but its squared-off styling might be a little too conservative for you...only you can decide that.

Anybody see the sticker on the new Dodge Durango? Cheap looking interior, with prices in the RX330 range. I know the truck has that giant Hemi V8, but the interior plastics look like they were taken from a Neon. A far cry from the leather and wood of the RX330...
I am sorry but a 35k Murano is crackish. A 40k Durango is crackish. Even a loaded 48k RX 330 is crackish.
Oh and Motor Trend picked the FX 35 over the RX 330 (but I think they are the worst auto magazine tied with Automobile) in a comparo.
My 35k would get the FX over the Murano, better interior, Infinti service.
