my uncle had one for 8months, just got rig of it, he didn't like it at all. his LX470 was alot better, he just got a Jeep SRT8, its so fast. as for me,the QX is ok, not a big fan of the center console and its ridiculusly big. but overall but a bad ride.
One of the very few luxurious SUVS I like. It doesnt look all the great in pics but believe me, in person or on the freeway, it will turn your neck, its a big gorgeous suv inside and out. I know I like them at least. It's calssy.
That QX is the sh_t, when they first came out I liked them from the jump.
But I tell you after having tahoe for a while I love it, think its one of the best trucks on the rode. The low cost of parts, That muscle engine and I can catch tires from a pull off.... stock, and it just keeps on riding. But they right when they tell you when you see them on the rode, the QX is right.
Thanks guys ....I have a confession to make. I LOVE DRIVING MY LEGEND BETTER! hahahahah :nutkick: take that Infiniti. Anyway I have 28 k miles on the SUV right now. When I hit 60K Im trading her in and maybe leasing something different not sure yet what to do but the replacement def has to be a Luxury SUV. I got 2 kids 1 dog soon and I pull a Jetski so it has to be big and I dont want to drive crap. All the other options in SUV sucked. I was choosing from the Escalade (everyone has one), the Denali ( I dont trust american cars) , or that Lexus Landcruiser ( 20k over the budget) so I went with the Infiniti. Almost got the Armada but when I saw how tricked out the Infinit was ...I couldnt give up all the extra goodies. It gets ALOT of looks down here because you dont see them often on the road vs all the Escalades, Tahoes , Fords and other SUV you see constantly. I wanted something more "rare". However Infiniti screwed up 50K veh and it gives me more problems then the 188k mile Legend .... WTF!!! Im telling you these Acura Legends are Gold they way they were put together. Sure we have some defects like headgasket issues but this is a 2005 Vehicle and Ive had more sensors go bad rotors go bad then my 94 Legend. So after this experiance (thank God for warranties) I just dont trust new vehicles anymore. I let the wifey always pimp out the SUV that way i dont have to worry about her driving me Legend anymore (she used to TEAR my Legend up). But whenever Im taking a long trip or doing the jetski think then I have the SUV to do the manual labor.
By the way here is a picture of me jetski
/\ my uncle traded his QX for a jeep SRT8, he likes it alot more. but he cannot tow a boat with it , so my aunt gets to drive it when he takes her Gx470 fishing

You know now that you mention it, I went to the Lexus dealer and looked at a GX470 ..loved it and all but it was at $60+K at the time and I didnt want to go over 50 so it was a Sad no. I just did a veh search and when I pulled it up again the MSRP price is now at $46K ??? So iIm thinking maybe the took they price down from 2 years ago because of the whole gas price situation. If thats the case I think Im gonna trade this in for that Lexus ...but it better have a TV backing up camera because without that feature my wife would have hit SOOOOO many things by now backing up haha
yeah my aunts lexus has the back up cam, its great. also she had a built in radar detector in the car. the k40, i was told it was dealer installed but not sure, becuase they got it used from an auction, it only 1 year old but its cheaper that way, that is great way to buy a car my uncle tries to buy all his cars that way. His last car was an LX470 (before the QX) and he liked it alot more then the QX and it was cheaper, he got that at auction too, but he likes is SRT8 alot though, and its so fast, its like 4.5 0-60, it has all the toys and is like $45k from the stealership.
looking at the cashmere silver metallic legend makes me miss mine i got the nissan titan for my other car (pretty much the same setup as the QX56), man, i love the room in that thing.
