I was surprised to hear that the GL is in high demand in Canada… I guess compared to the other two it is cheaper and has a European name which are to its advantage.
The GL is a great all-rounder… has what the others have and (for most people this is a plus) it drives more like a car than a truck.
To be honest I don’t see any advantage of going with the Infinity over the Armada… so in my view the QX is a waste of $$$ (did not drive the new ones)
In an SUV I like the truck seating position and grand feel of the LX, and the tech side of is great and very easy to navigate. The only issue I have with the LX is the third row… why does it not go flat!!!
Like the others I too would recommend the RR but it is on the higher side of the price range you set and it does not have the third row of seats. The RRSport in our area has an option for a third row but its terrible and will only fit kids under 10 or 12 years of age and when in use there will be no space in the trunk…
