Might be getting a new crossover but keeping the 2016 RDX also
I might be getting a second crossover in the future. In terms of best purchase, it would still be the fully loaded RDX. However, I might get another brand just to have a different brand. After ruling out Mercedes, Porsche, BMW, etc., I've narrowed it down to three: the new Audi Q5 that is coming out soon or the Lexus RX350, or the new Acura MDX. I'm leaning towards the Audi Q5 because it's a lot less expensive and the new model looks a lot nicer than the current one (they're really improving the grill. The current one just looks weird, reminds me of a whale). My main concerns are: it's going to be made in Mexico (although the current ones made in Germany had huge reliability problems so this might not make a difference anyways). My second concern is the reliability problems with Audi. That's the thing that's making me consider the Lexus RX350. The new Acura MDX is a solid choice, it's an Acura so I know I'll be getting the best value and solid reliability and I think it's a more advanced vehicle than the new Lexus RX350. I don't really need 3 rows (don't have kids or anything, thank goodness) but I can always use the extra space as trunk space. I also contemplated getting another RDX but if I were to do that, I should just wait until the next generation one comes out. One thought I had, and I thought it just for a moment: to take a serious look at the new Genesis SUVs that are supposed to come out in the future. The new Genesis G90 looks sweeeeeeeet, but living in a snowy area, I'm biased towards larger vehicles like crossovers and SUVs. I'm taking Genesis more seriously now that they took the Hyundai symbol off their vehicles (and that's because Hyundai's do not attract hot women).

Get a Lada Niva. Second bestest car in the universe. Big chick magnet.

Okay. So the RDX is not that great after all. .
I thought somehow that this was the greatest chick magnet ever invented. If that is true you should have bought not two but three of them, I mean just to have different cars but keeping all the goodness of RDX intact (the Elite Canadian model). I'm disappointed that Audi and Lexus have finally defeated the RDX .

Just my experience--which runs counter to what Consumer Reports says, but my last two cars were Audi's (A3 2015; Q5 2013) and I had more than my fair share of issues. My 2016 RDX----almost 6,000 miles--perfect. It's something I'd consider with an Audi.

And that could hold some extra chicks due to larger space.

So what he's saying is his mom wants a new Q5 or RX, and his dad will end up driving the RDX. Got it.

Not sure why anyone would keep two fucking SUVs around, especially when single. This guy is so full of shit. "I have the bestest suv on the planet" to "I'm still keeping my ultra awesome SUV, but I need a bigger one to haul all my butt plugs around"
fuck off, troll.
fuck off, troll.

You're missing the obvious... He's buying this car *for* his supermodel girlfriend who you totally don't know because she goes to a different school in another state so that's why you can't meet her or see her and she doesn't have a phone either so you can't talk to her but he can on the computer but only at a time when you're not around so you can't IM her either. But she's totally real.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder rocky (although I would question your vision). But, if you think these two honeys are 8s or 9s, I would suggest that if you want a couple of 10s that you give them each an extra dozen or so crispy creams every day or two.

I'm looking at luxury vehicles. It's extremely difficult to find another vehicle now because I've been spoiled by the RDX's combination of extensive features and great pricing. I've narrowed down my options to the following (not in any particular order):
The new:
Lexus RX350
Mercedes GLC
Jaguar F-Pace
2017 Audi Q5
2018 Acura RDX
Currently, I'm leaning towards the 2018 Acura RDX because I believe the next generation version is coming out. It will look different than the current one (so I won't get them confused) and may also have additional features. Also, I've carefully examined all the other vehicles and they are all a lot more expensive for the same or fewer features than the Acura. The closest in terms of value is the Audi Q5, but I would wait for the 2017 to be released because the new design looks a lot better than the current one. I'm also worried about maintenance and repair costs... another thing making me lean towards the 2018 Acura RDX. One of my friends just bought a 2016 Lexus RX350. I must say it looks a lot better in person than in pictures or video, though I still think the RDX looks better (doesn't have that huge oversized grill).
Why am I getting a second car? Need two for business/cash flow purposes...
I'm still with the 9/10 girl that looks like a supermodel that the Acura RDX helped me to attract. She still loves my car and finds it very technologically advanced, as she puts it. I think it excites her when I put it in Sport mode and floor the gas pedal. It really propels the vehicle forward with a nice roar of the engine. I would put a picture of her up but she doesn't want me to and also people wouldn't believe me anyways.

I don't recall saying that. What I will say is the 2016 RDX Elite (fully loaded) has all the important luxury features and some features that vehicles in these other brands don't offer. For example, some vehicles in other luxury lines do not offer lane keep assist or ventilated seats or a powerful V6 engine. Many vehicles in the Mercedes line that compete with the RDX go with 4 cylinder engines. Though they do have adequate power, they don't compare to the quick acceleration and power of the RDX's 279 HP V6 (0 to 100 km/h in 6.2 seconds) unless you upgrade to the AMG line which will cost you tens of thousands of dollars more (Canadian $).

If you're getting a second one for business/cash flow purposes, are you looking to lease or buy outright?

It's because you posted from mobile without requesting a desktop version, or manually replacing "m." with "www.".

No problem! It's just one of the odd nuances about the site that you learn over time.
Happy fourth of July (American holiday)!
