they did a head-to-head comparo on roads last year and the MDX was ranked better for driving through corners because they have the SH-AWD which is better than XDrive. Well, the E70's' XDrive that doesn't come with DPC (the X6 does). The one advantage BMWs had over others was handling and it doesn't win there in this case.

More gadgets, better price, reliability, it's the MDX. I just can't get over the fat pig look... and I've always wanted an X5 since I was a teen. If I were to buy again, I would seriously consider other vehicles like the new Edge coming out in the summer... again, better stuff and drives faster and stiffer than it did before. BMW is at a good place, but they really can do better considering others are, even at lower prices.

I've had an SUV since I was 16. When friends ask me for SUV recommendations, I always say MDX or X5 as top 2. If it's for their wife who just wants something reliable, quiet, and comfortable, Lexus.
