We looked at

X5
Telluride
Gv80
Rx350
Atlas
GLE 450

And drove nearly all. I will tell you the wife (non car person) didn’t like the materiality of the lesser models and the gauges/instrumentation of the Lexus. To compare the two types isn’t quite appropriate. This is a typical “my underdog is as good as xxxx” story humanity is famous for. At MSRP these cars are where they should be, mostly. I still think the GV80 is punching above it’s acceptable weight as the fit, finish and materials are that of a lesser high end at best. Engines were all lacking comparatively and had turbo 4 a majority of the time or some breathless under 300 Hp v6. The MB we only digitally shopped had a v8 at the same price point and one of the highest towing capacities correspondingly.
