The new RX is a great car but I've driven the prior RX and it's a snooze-fest behind the wheel, and I bet the new one is no different. Plus the thing is ugly. Emotions aside though, it ticks all the boxes better than any other 'ute.
I had thought about it. Audi's reliability seems top notch these days. Not sure how competitive they are on price. I can get a $46k MSRP RX for around $40k; not sure if a base Q5 Premium would be the same. I suppose I can check. But right now pretty much leaning heavily towards the RX. The one major complaint I have about the Q5 is the huge hump in the floor for the middle rear passenger. That would be uncomfortable for long distances.
