Of course all ads are biased. They took one advantage and run with it... Just like how the SRX's is 2004, 2005 and 2006 Luxury Sport Utility of the Year...

Are you referring to the Infiniti FX ad? It is also a direct competitor. It's strange that everyone mentions ML and Cayenne, but the FX models are somewhat neglected.

It's hard to classify the Lexus GX470 which is more like a glorified Forerunner. It's more trucklike than carlike, yet because it's a Lexus, it typically is compared with Mercedes and BMW.
