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.

Hello family haven't been on here in awhile,i still have my 99 with 159,758 miles on but thought about what i would buy if she ever die on me,so before i wait for that to happen i only drive her on the weekends,so on 9/28/12 :jump::jump::clap:i bought a 09 Infiniti fx 35 46,000 miles tech/nav/prem package full loaded under factory warranty 7speed pattle shiffer great cross over,but the VEHIcross is still my heart

Bowler Range EXR-S :)

If they only made a smaller FJ...
Autopros Swap might bring life and hope ......

Its hard to find a truck the size of our babies except a Jeep or Defender 90

Nice! me want(need):yesb:

Tiguan TDI may be available next year (already in EU I believe)....

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. :thumbup:

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. :laughing:

Courtesy Acura in Littleton can hook you up...they have a top o the line one with your name on it...only stickers for $57K...:bgwo::bgwb::bwgy::smilewink

What's the adjusted inflation cost of a $32,000 VX today, anybody?? Hmmmmm?

$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.
