BTW, the JX35 is worth every penny, IMHO!
49K - close to 3K off of MSRP in Nashua, NH.
Also gave me equity in my RX350 lease which was due next week.
Smooth process and great guys to work with! Very motivated since it was the end of the month.
Good luck!
The dealer had one demo, but does not have one for test drive. The one in the showroom did not look very impressive to me. It was a dark grayish kind of color - the exterior looks not impressive (another color, black or white, may make it look better in showroom?). The interior does not look expensive to me - the demo has dark color leather, which actually look a little cheap kind of leather to me (disappointed from impressions from pictures). The interior looks less luxurious than a MDX or M class.
Did not even get to turn on the car - so I did not get impressed by its technology at all. The instrument panel do not look expensive (as expected from reading reviews) by appearance.
If I test drive one, I may have a different opinion. If I see different color combinations, I may change idea. So far nothing to justify the much higher price than MDX, Lexus, both of which seem to be discounting price now (some people are getting MDX at $4000 below INVOICE).
More JX coming to this dealership in mid May, then they would have one for test drive - do not know if I can wait that long. The dealer suggests may discount $1000 below MSRP with small room for negotiation. If that is true, there does not seem to be a desire to even come back to test drive unless I still could not make a decision then.
The JX so far has a Walmart look with premium price to me (without getting the expensive packages, there is no reason to get a JX besides being a little roomier than MDX).
MDX has bigger engine than JX as well as power, torque
JX seating arrangement is superior to MDX
Technology MDX is a big winner, when its pick up auto cruise mode, picks up very smoothly and breaks smoothly, where as jx you can feel the vibration.
Acura navigation is better and blind spot indicator is placed in a nice location next to the mirros, very useful.
MDX handles and drives better.
JX has more interior leather options
as some one said in the forun mdx is upgraded in 2010 including the quality of leather. its not outdated to 2007, both are comeptetive but if you pay more than mdx its not worth it.
mdx I drove 40 k miles, jx i dorve 1200 miles
I like the JX a lot and think it's a solid value (if you get the Prem package, you have pretty much all the important options). But I will wait for the new MDX next year before making a final decision. By then, JX price will decrease also.

Where can I see the pictures and video you mentioned?
Thanks

As a side note, dealers rarely have correct info when it comes to redesigns. They may actually lie to get you not to wait. It's best to check car web sites.
The current Murano has goodies like xenons, LED tail lights, heated steering wheel, heating rear seats, etc, so I expect those to be available on the Pathfinder also.
I agree with some other post...JX = Blue Ray CD....others in the same segment = VCR tape...
We do honor VPP, but we got the largest allocation of JX in the country so we could afford to.
PS All Active military is VPP in case you didn't know!!
Crazy, but true.
Now, I'm looking at buying a MDX for myself :-) It is way behind the JX, technology wise (aka VCR vs. Blueray), but I like how it drives. I'm hearing that the SH AWD is going away with the new models and I really dig that SH AWD. But that key fob on the MDX... yuk! It's like the key fob that used to come with an older model Mercedes. I think our 2002 ML350 had that sort of a key fob :-l
Must have something to do with demographics...
Our BMWs are cheaper to insure than Hondas..

Average age of 2000 Infiniti was (in summer 2000) was more thean the average age of 2000 maxima SE.
We were surprised as well.
Ended up with i30.
It will depend on where you live and if there is much competition in your area.
If you are buying the JX (not leasing) and you finance with IFS, the dealer gets $750 dealer cash...most dealers will pass that along to you if their inventory levels are reasonable.
My guess is it will be a little more than the Murano. A fully loaded Murano is around $40k MSRP. New Pathfinder can't be too expensive though as then people will just go to the JX.
I think a lot of people are going to cross-shop a JX with only Premium Package vs a Limited Pathfinder. The Pathfinder will have a bunch of similar items as the Premium Package JX: keyless engine, wood trim, 13 speaker Bose, Around View Monitor, Memory Seats, Bluetooth, etc.
But people that want the advanced tech features of the JX (Lane Change Guidance, Advanced Cruise, etc) will have to stick with the JX.
What accessories am I supposed to get? Read here that some people got cargo, kickplates, splash guards etc. Are they included for free?
