2008 4dr SUV 263-horsepower 4.7L V8

Could use a couple of inches more leg room in the front, and we're only six feet tall. see full Lexus GX review

2012 Acura MDX Seat Room and Comfort: Cons

The interior prioritizes appearance over actual utility; it's surprisingly cramped for such a large vehicle. For example, my Highlander is roughly the same size externally but seems downright cavernous on the inside in comparison. A rear passenger can fully stretch out in the Toyota. Not so in the Acura. see full Acura MDX review
