What Other Vehicle Compares..............
...........to our 2012 RX350, or what would be a alternative choice in price, quality, and size?
When you shopped for your RX, was it hard to choose between it and another make?

The new SRX has more toys and gadgets than the RX350, the problem is that they often fail and you can count on many trips to the dealer.....I am still on the Cadillac Forum and laugh

I think the closest competitor to the RX350 is the Murano LE. There are certain aspects of it that are superior to the RX and maintenance costs would be less, but a huge factor for me is simply the reliability difference between Toyota and Nissan. Regarding the SRX, take a drive in one and I'm pretty sure you'll prefer the RX's ride. On the other hand, the SRX outhandles the RX and is probably a little quicker.

I can't see how murano compares to RX in ride quality- I did a test drive but it was very short, I did not like the interior...
Ah, there is also XC60 from Volvo...

I don't own a Lexus, but am researching cars to replace my 2003 Volvo S60. Cars I'm considering (besides the RX350!) include the Volvo XC60 already mentioned, which I'd say isn't as nice as the RX, but has better active safety features and off-road capability, and the Infiniti EX, which is much sportier than the RX, but has effectively no off-road capability. Both are a little smaller than the RX, especially the Infiniti's back seat.
Audi and Mercedes have compact SUVs/crossovers also. They might be considered alternatives by some.

M1964,
Were you in a Murano LE Platinum Edition? I'll put that interior up against the RX any day and it doesn't have that "right knee/leg encroachment" hassle some have mentioned. As far as ride goes, I took one out and think it was probably closer to my 2nd gen. than the 3rd gen. RX. Although, to be fair, I've yet to drive a 2013.
All the Euro competitors...sorry, not worth the extra $ and potential aggravation.

Acura MDX, Infiniti FX35, Toyota Venza, MB GLK, BMW X3, AUDI Q5
I disagree that MB GLK handles or rides better than the RX. I spent a fairly amount of time test driving a 2011 GLK and It was quite a disappointment.
