We are looking for a nice SUV for 4 people (2 adults and 2 kids). Our choices are the Lexus RX350, RX400h (hybrid), or the Volkswagen Touareg 2. The Lexus is very different, as it has a more "cushy" ride, while the VW is German-engineered. We want a good ride (we just had the Volvo XC90 and HATED IT) and nice features. Also, we go on family ski trips to Vermont several times in the winter, so we need decent cargo space. The VW has more features it seems, like 4-Zone climate-control with heated seats for the kids (especially for ski trips), a Rest button (where it keeps the car warm up to 30 minutes after the car was turned off), Keyless Access, and more. But the Lexus is more luxurious, with really soft leather seats, a lot of wood paneling, and chrome door handles. Again, the Lexus seems small as far as cargo space. Which should we get?
