I'm officially done with my Tesla. It's a long story, but let's just say it wasn't the dream I expected. Now, I need a reliable, comfortable ride. I've been researching like crazy and have narrowed it down to three - the Acura RDX, the Subaru Outback Touring XT, and the Lexus NX450+. Which would you choose and why?

Lexus NX or the RX

- Subaru is notorious for engine issues. However they’re very nice and smooth rides. I think it comes with a flannel and a dog
- Acura is a dressed up Honda and feels like one after a few years of use. Initially it feels way nicer, but as the pleather ages, plastic wears, and seals age - it’s clearly a Honda

Correct answer

I’m looking at the Honda Prologue for next year when my Passport lease is up, but I’m a Honda guy.

Lexus NX450+ would be my pick. Plug-in hybrid gives you some electric range without the stress of full EV life, and Lexus builds cars that last forever.

I would never own a Japanese car (I’m a Mercedes person), but my ex really likes his Kia plugin hybrid suv. I would also never own an electric only car as the infrastructure isn’t there. Mercedes EQ included. Politics aside, electric only cars were never something on my list. For your list, OP, look at the warranties if you want to keep it longer than 4 years. Just from anecdotal evidence, I’ve heard that Lexuses last forever.

I know that. He really likes his Kia though. And I didn’t say it was Japanese.

I have a 2021 RDX it’s been excellent. Solid interior, extremely comfortable, reasonably sporty.

Anyone else just sitting around waiting for the ax to drop? I'm a soon to be 2nd year corporate associate who has seen work completely dry up. My utilization held pretty steady around 50% immediately after shutdown, but August was below 15 billables with no appreciable work in the pipeline. Aside from letting people know I'm available and doing pro-bono/CLE, it's starting to feel like a serious "covidcation" leading to termination.
