Saw the article another member posted and decided to piece out the important the specs for an easier side by side comparison.

BASE MSRP
QX60: $41,550
MDX: $42,290
RX 350: $39,760

QX60:

The Infiniti QX60 has neither the performance pedigree of the MDX nor an optional sport package like the RX 350. The QX60 calmly sits like an capable family hauler in SUV form..

QX 60 is the largest and heaviest of this group, naturally the QX60 won't take to twisty roads kindly, at least with any kind of performance in mind.

MDX:

for those who care about driving the MDX is the one that light your eyes up. Its V6 is the most potent of the three. the MDX will do the best 60 time hands down.

RX350:

The class standard and the reason the other two even exist. Lexus is holding on for dear life to their perch of superiority in the lux crossover game. Its only a matter of time before someone storms the fort..

The Lexus impressively comes standard with 9 speakers compared to MDXs 8 and QX60s 6. All share some standard creature comforts like auto tilt steering wheels and enough airbags to make the Michelin man proud. The Lexus has optional leather seats while the other two offer leather standard, same with heated seats, optional on the Lexus standard on MDX and QX60. Each has a bevy of tickable options that will easily grow MSRP into the high $50’s.

Which one do you think provides the best bang for buck? Versatility? Comfort?

I don't have a QX60. I'm always trying to get more people involved in our reliability survey, so we can provide better stats, so I check for new forums when a new nameplate is introduced. I might have noticed a link to this forum from one for the JX.
