The 2008 Lexus RX 350 competes against other mid-size SUVs and crossovers.

While the Lexus RX 350 reigns supreme in delivering on luxury, it's more of a Costco-style everyman's luxury.

At a sales rate of 100,000-plus per year, there's not much exclusivity in this choice.

8.4
The 2008 Lexus RX 350 has a well-earned reputation for luxury, but fun is off the menu.
8
The 2009 Cadillac SRX enters its last year as a good-looking and functional crossover, but tight third-row seating and poor fuel efficiency remain as blemishes on an otherwise solid package.
8.6
The 2009 Infiniti FX offers a truly distinctive shape and sportscarlike acceleration. If you need to haul plywood or lots of kids, though, look elsewhere.
8.8
The 2008 Acura MDX has a little more passion than most larger SUVs, with no less practicality.
8.8
The 2008 Audi Q7 puts a sport-ute premium on its beautifully made interior, seven-passenger seating, and sedanlike acceleration.
