I just have to echo my comments about the KDSS. I just bought my GX w/KDSS over the weekend. I drove both with and without KDSS. Take a few turns with both and you'll want to buy one with KDSS.

The other vehicle we were seriously looking at is the 4.4i BMW X5 (there is a $6,500 cash back through Sept 30). Loved the X5 drive and performance. The GX's KDSS helps get closer (albeit still not there) to the BMWs handling. Overall, the GX luxury and superious nav system sold us.

I am quite sure the KDSS will make a dramatic different on a SUV that already handle well. I comptemplated about getting the KDSS but decided against it because I believe this truck is more than adequate in handling the family hauling duty. Plus spirited driving is not what I have plan for this vehicle. That my friend is for the Mercedes ML63 AMG in 2 years when I trade in one of my AMGs for it. At the mean time, I need to find a bluetooth Verizon phone that works with the GX
