I'm in the market for the 08 X5 3.0 or 08 MDX ........ I've been looking for a X5 w/ the 3rd row seat, but its almost impossible to find .... I am looking @ cpo's for both models, the X5 is costing about 3-4g's more then the MDX, w/ less options, I drove both cars (drove the sports model in MDX) feels similar in ride and handling, would like to hear some of the members opinion on this....... we have a 05 X5 3.0 and a 04 Pilot....... I know the MDX will be more reliable in the long run....
