Looking for a new compact SUV. I was driving a 2001 Lexus RX300 and I loved it. I would get another RX but I do not like they new body style and interior. 2 HUGE factors for me are reliability and gas mileage. Here are some of the cars I'm thinking about (in order of preference): Mercedes GLK - I've never owned a Benz so maybe some of y'all can give me some insight, specifically on reliability. Audi Q5 - See Mercedes. Lexus RX - Good car, not a fan of the 2011 model. Infinit EX - See Mercedes/Audi.
If reliability is a big factor, the Audi may be lower on your list. And with all of the problems Toyota has, I would be weary of the Lexus. I'd look at the Acura RDX.
