    Acura MDX, new model, everywhere I look it says it is a wonderful vehicle. It is my first time considering a SUV, any inputs? Driving experience, other alternative? I suppose I could get a Porche SUV with the same price but base model with less horse power, but it is a Porche.

    A Porsche? Are you going through a mid life crisis?

    I am only 33, so I won't say I am midlife, it is the Porche Cayenne, not exactly the mid life crisis car either.

    Acuras are the most overpriced cars on the road, IMO. They are nice cars, but not worth the price. They aren't really even a status symbol to most folks.

    I guess that is part why I am considering the Porche SUV which is more expensive with less horse power. Vanity's power is to be respected.

    I'm 29 and feel that any Porsche is a mid life crisis car. It's right up there with a corvette.

    I totally dig the Infinit QX56, I don't really like any Lexus SUV, the MB GL's are nice, I think the BMW SUV's are ok but don't prefer them at all, ix-nay on any Lincoln or Caddy, and I honestly don't think that the Acura's are that much of an improvement over a Honda to spend the extra money. Just my opinion.

    I am not too fond of Infinity's styling, they are not mascular and yet not slick either, I am sure they are nice vehicles.

    I like the Porche myself, but watch out for the breaks they'll catch on fire..

    In the last ten days I've driven:

    Hyundai Santa Fe
    Buick Rendezvous
    Kia Sorrento
    Mercury Mountaineer

    I like the first three; the fourth is just okay by my preferences.

    The base V6 Porche Cayenne is a DOG, a honda accord is faster.

    Not high end like the Porsche but my wife bought a Trailblazer. Has plenty of room and really (I was suprised) a nice enough ride. Throw in the satellite radio and ONStar - you're good to go. Not an 'image' ride though.
