Ijaya123: It is called the predator face grille. U either love it or hate it. And get used to it because that is how the grille of all new model Lexus cars look. It is their signature look. Lexus IS, ES, RX, LE, LX etc all have this signature grille. 1 Like

Doctorjames: I read some posts and I literally just SMH. Everything Like? ? ? ? ? I'd like to read some very objective, test and research based comparison, not the usual blind sentimental preference. For starters, the Rx330 and the 2nd Gen MDX are not in the same Catergory AT ALLLLL!!!!. . Now... comparing the Rx350 and 2nd Gen MDX, tests and reviews have shown that In... Acceleration - MDX wins Engine Power- MDX wins Handling- MDX wins Luxury/Comfort- MDX wins Safety ratings - MDX wins Traction Control Design - MDX wins So, Asides from better fuel consumption (which is to be expected as the MDX has a bigger, more powerful engine and greater curb weight) and cheaper maintence ( MDX is a premium car, not for the thrifty tho is cheaper to maintain than the rx350 which is in its class) Please tell me with 22 yrs experience how the RX330 betters the 2nd Gen MDX. 24 Likes 1 Share |

At OP you need first of all identify what matters the most to you in a car, and the purpose it intends to serve and make your choice along those lines If you're about performance, agressive styling, and road presence. The MDX kills it, while giving you a luxurious and comfortable ride. Read the comparison article in the first link and watch these two videos https://www.thecarconnection.com/car-compare-results/acura_mdx_2008-vs-lexus_rx-350_2008?trims=40026041,40024036 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRQTMf1DddA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTYRLiC15Zw 7 Likes |

Oh, By the way OP If you do decide to buy the MDX I advice you to take ALOT of time and Do alot of careful searching. The MDX is not as common as the Rxs in Naija, so your search options and pretty limited. Especially if you have high standards. It took 4hrs in Cotonu, Three trips to Berger, and countless weeks scouring the internet with over 6 VIN history reports from computerglobal for me to find one that "kinda" met my standard. -Avoid Canadian stock if you can ( the MDX is not the kinda Car you want to buy with rust problems) -Avoid the Sports Package (if you can) the Active Damping System is expensive to keep stock Speaking of the MDX's sexy Interior Styling.... Sneak Preview of Before and After Photos of My 100% D-I-Y Audio Upgrade, completed sometime in January. speakers, head unit, subwoofer all upgraded. One week of hard work and plenty $$. hopefully I'll find time soon to create a thread with process pictures and setup details. 8 Likes 2 Shares

Op, what did you decide? I'd never swap the 08 MDX for an 08 Lexus 350. The mdx is better in everything, from offroading to handling, styling and speed. The rx is marginally better in fuel economy. Did you get the MDX? 3 Likes |

bizzle2: Impressive. This must be a really good head unit because it will take something extra ordinary for me to give up my ELS audio. Reason I have not bothered changing my head unit. Sucks that it doesn't have Bluetooth streaming but there's an easy walk around for that. |

greenhulk:Stock units are never comparable to high end aftermarket options. You never know what you're missing until you experience more. And I'm not talking about these Android DVD/Navi units sold up and down....yes they bring some added functionality, but the sound quality is subpar in comparison to top brands. What You See is The Kenwood Excelon DDX9904s -Android Auto & Apple Car Play -Capacitive touch screen ( as opposed to resistive touch screens found on most radios) -Supports High Res Audio playback ( FLAC etc) -Major video formats - avi, mp4, mkv -USB support is awesome , NTFS, FAT32, etc ....u can literally connect a 500GB hard drive and enjoy away - not to mention the most important....sound quality Too many great features https://www.crutchfield.com/S-94CaKqWfoy1/p_113DDX9904/Kenwood-Excelon-DDX9904S.html Just Read the "Our take on the Kenwood Excelon DDX9904S" part

alphaNomega:Lol, its kinda funny you're arguing with me about useful cargo space in my own car, a car I use everyday. Its an MDX bro not a beetle. Lol, 1.5 cu ft is a drop in a bucket. And the subwoofer isn't a permanent fixture. I have my cables made into a harness. In the event that I one day have to utilize every sq mm of space in the trunk, it'll take all of 2 seconds to disconnect the harness and remove or relocate the sub. 13 Likes
