    You can pick up a loaded 2009 model (first year of the current body style) for a little over $30K. To me the FX35 is the best design and best value in the luxury sport-crossover market.
    Funny we are thinking about replacing my wife's ride. I am trying to talk her into a FX35 but she is leaning towards a outback or VW tiguan. The FX is the highest rated car I have ever researched. I would love to test drive one.

    I owned and FJ cruiser before I owned my VX. The FJ is the only replacement.

    Obviously not a direct replacement for the VX but from a rarity perspective this may now fit the bill. Have you guys seen the Motor Trend article?

    Ah, limited production due to a 4 year run, somewhat unpractical and priced higher than the other cars in Acura's line up... very Vehicross.

    Makes me want to go take a test drive just for S&G's. I'm sure an Acura salesman would be more than happy to accommodate anyone showing even remote interest in these sales dogs.

    Just noticed that EPA fuel economy is 16/23/19, so you won't need to get used to significantly better fuel economy either.

    ...and it's AWD. We should each buy one... or wait ten years and hope for VX depreciation.

    $41,268.76

    I looked here: http://www.westegg.com/inflation/

    If you pay $32000 for something now, it would have only cost $24,692.97 back in 2000.
