I think the outside looks great, their interiors and elctonics are quirky looking (not saying they are unreliable) but for me they have zero off-road capabilities!

I would consider test driving a Toyota, if they had something similar, but a 4-Runner working off a exceedingly stale 10 year old design, with none of the current safety features, does not interest me one bit. And since I'm not interested in anything from the Big-3 nor any luxury brands, there is not much left to compare the Passport too..

Hey Joe, my wife has the 2014 RX350, which was before the sharp-edged redesign (which I really like) and it has been one of the best ride and most reliable vehicles I have ever owned. It's sad (many - not all) women base their car purchases on looks and not on reliability or company reputation - that's why in California it seems like nearly every VW is driven by a woman (go figure). If you haven't yet, get her to test drive a RX350 and I'll be the quality and features change her mind...

That's sad, we bought our 2014 RX when the 2015 were already on the Lot and got $7k off MSRP, really!

We purchased a 2014 RX350 (this is the previous body style), back in early 2015 (when the 2015 were already on the Lot) and the MSRP was $49k and we got $7k off ($42k), which I though was an awesome deal! This is still my wife's daily driver and is a wonderful and super well-built/reliable vehicle and would buy one again (love the new aggressive body style). I think the new models come out in March, so they should be discounting the "old" models once the new ones arrive. If I did not want some off-road capability, I'd see if I could get a last years' model RX350 for the same or less than a full MSRP'd Passport Elite!

I used the Navy Federal Credit Union Car Buying Service and there are set prices for each model, for the Touring it was $900 over Invoice and $1,200 over for the Elite.
