主题：$40k SUV选车评车兼求意见 (Update车买了） -- 首阳之下

bought one couple weeks ago for LD to replace her 2003 Acura MDX.

300 hp, 270 Lbs torque, 7-speed transmission, AWD (actually a RWD with AWD capability), all around view camera, sonar sensors, cool/heat seats, GPS, 20-inch wheel, leather, wood panel, moon roof, bluetooth, Usb connection, 9.6GB harddrive, has all the luxury options - MSRP $53,000, invoice $48,000. Bought it out-the-door $45,000 with 8-year 100K mile extended warranty. The dealer offered $5K credit (from Infiniti). I negotiated a $6K reduction from the invoice, so it's $42K before taxes and fees.

It has all performance characters of RWD and it's made to compete with BMW X6, Acura ZDX, etc. It drives much better than Acura MDX (which is actually a FWD).
