My mother is torn between a 2008 RX 350 and a 2007 MDX. The difference in price is $2400 more for the RX. Both are equally equipped with nav and everything else. I feel the RX is better, but I want some more info/backup. Thoughts??

MDX is bigger and will outhandle the RX if thats of importance, engines stronger too

For the plusher ride, go with the RX. For the more stable ride, go with the MDX.

If you can wait. A completely re-designed RX will debut late next year.

Did you search the RX forum? this topic was debated multiple times already.

I told them that but due to an accident, a vehicle needs to be purchased now.

Yeah. I printed out a bunch of threads for them. But since they are making the decision this weekend I wanted to get a last group of thoughts.

Sorry for duplicating discussed info. I just want to help as best I can.

If it was for me I would pick the MDX if it were for my mother I'd get her a RX.

You cant go wrong with either though.

That pretty much sums it up for me. You can't go wrong with either one, but if I were getting it for my mother it'd definitely be the RX.

I prefer the touchscreen on the RX over the MDX ****, plus IMO the RX looks much better.

Moms love the RX...

For a woman definitely the RX if you don't need the extra space.
The materials in the RX are quite nice - soft leather, etc.

If I were choosing for myself it would be the MDX because the FWD
RX is too dreadful for me to contemplate driving on a daily basis.
The Gillette grill would have to go though.

Will you be the one taking the car for service?

Which dealer is better for you then?

I would pick the rx for her. The rx is so easy to drive and maneuver, power liftgate too.

Having driven the RX350 on a recent trip to the U.S., the RX350 is more maneuverable than the current generation MDX I drove here.

i would be against buying a vehicle only to see it get redesigned a year later
