    How about the Mazda CX-9? That's probably a very important choice you have missed.

    I'm a Honda guy. RDX for me.

    edit: it's supposed to be CX-7.

    It's not out yet, and I wouldn't add the CX-7 to the poll either if it can't offer leather seats as standard, it's luxury 5-seaters.

    their are other choices, well hmm 5 seat i guess the MDX and QX56 kinda dun fit that. well anyways i dun find it an even choice because the RX is bigger the FX and the RDX is tiny. its powered by a lil turbo 4 banger that wont get an suv anywhere in life, the RX runs on a fuel effecient engine that can be hybrid powered and the fx is a fast powerful raw beast! also ur price ranges are totally out there. the RX is most expensive going near what 55 grand, the FX tops at like 45-50 and not sure bout the tech turbo loaded RDX, anybody else here agree

    There aren't other choices, MDX is 7-seat and QX56 is 6-seat. Our 2001 MDX is powered by a 240bhp 3.5L V6 which sounds underpowered but sufficient, latter MDX's come with 253bhp, but the RDX, despite having two less cylinders, has the same amount of horsepower and turbo, plus superior SH-AWD, and it's lighter than the MDX of course, so there's no doubt the RDX is up there with the FX35 and RX350 in performance. And as we know Toyota's hybrid systems are all lies, so I chose the RX350 for this comparison. FX35 shares engine with 350Z so it may be the fastest out of the three, but the RDX is most advanced in terms of technology and is the cheapest of all three with $32k MSRP, and Acuras always have as good gas mileages as their Honda-badged sisters. I've gone to the Acura dealer few days ago and the RDX is just as spacious as the RX. The FX, in my opinion, is powerful and stylish but least comfortable with its sportier setup and a bit too standard technology-wise.

    The QX56 is way too big. It has a 3rd row, like the Armada.

    The CX-9 isn't out yet, I know the CX-7 is out but it isn't up to the class of these 3 cars.

    Why would the FX45 do? It's got a deeper toned V8 compared to the V6 with amazing sound, plus it isn't noticeably faster, it's just better for rougher roads and of course a bit gas guzzling. Just because it's badged as a higher model doesn't mean it always gotta be better. The RDX and the FX both use practically the same sound system from Bose, so you can't really compare.
