Amen, brother!
So, you have a few features you don't use? Who cares? So do the MDX and Pathfinder! You think THEY won't come with trip computer or Bluetooth? I don't use 95% of my brain! Does not mean I am willing to let it go! lol
Seriously, though: what are you gonna get in return? A used Nissan or Acura for which you will pay about the same as you pay for your X now? I just don't know that it's worth it.
BY THE WAY, about that 3rd row seating: There is a reason the BMW SAVs don't have them. They are cramped (unless you buy a bus like the Suburban), uncomfortable, and dangerous (You get rear-ended while sitting back there, and it's gonna hurt). I would never put my child or any of his friends back there. Stick with the X. It's one of the finest automobiles out there, and probably the best combination of practicality, luxury and performance.
But, as Dennis Miller likes to say, "What the hell do I know?"
