The Lexus RX 350 is the bogie for Lincoln, but the RX isn’t that engaging to drive and can be tough to find in crowded mall parking lots.
The 2009 Lincoln MKX is more engaging to drive, but it can't match the level of refinement achieved by the RX 350.
Dynamically, the Acura MDX is a better-handling vehicle than the 2009 Lincoln MKX, as is the rear-wheel-drive Cadillac SRX.
If you put a high value on performance, the SRX and BMW X5 offer optional V-8 engines.

The 2009 Lincoln MKX lives up to its luxury-brand promise, with a classy American style. | 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. | The 2009 Lexus RX 350 is a well-liked, competitive utility vehicle that has everything but personality. | The 2008 Acura MDX has a little more passion than most larger SUVs, with no less practicality. |
