I'm getting tired of running into minor issues with my X5 and am looking at other SUV's.

Who makes the most reliabile lexury suv?

I'm looking at an 06 Lexus Hybrid but don't like the tail lates all that much.

Has to have sport-tronic or something similiar.

JM,

Unfortunately all the other SUV's I would recommend will also have minor issues.
Cayenne
Audi Q7

I don't like the Lexus SUV.. I especially hate the placement of the transmission controls... HORRIBLE !

Have you considered waiting for the Audi Q5 to enter the market? I might get that car for the wifey.

Having owned an X5 and an RX300.... I have a feeling you are going to hate that RX. Those are about the most polar opposite SUVs in my mind. My parents have a GX470 and it is much much better than the RX.

just my 2 cents...

You will hate the RX. I don't think you will find a better Lexus than any BMW.

Acura RDX/MDX?

Not nearly the same feel as a BMW, but fairly nice and reliable.

More fun, NO.. But better can be a value of how little maintenance the car needs. Japanese cars rarely if ever need maintenance. German cars on the other hand.. Yesh !

I have also test driven the Lexus RX***. In my opinion, it was very plush, comfortable, had all the things you find in a luxury vehicle, but it wasn't very "satisfying" to drive. Not even a little bit.
It's a great car, but it didn't leave me with a silly grin after driving it...

Yeah I would certainly recommend those over a Lexus.

That is what I really wanted to say, but I thought I would go a different route this time.
