I know these two cars are somewhat different. But, that is precisely why there is an issue in mind as to which is better. The CX-9 (15 MPH city) has blind spot monitoring, leather, 6 disc cd, rear view cam, 3d row, and a sporty drive. The 400h is only a two row SUV. But, it is a hybrid (gets 29 MPH city), is a bit more luxurious, has rear view cam, and has a little bit more known reliability than the CX-9.
Assuming for sake of the question, I save $10k on the price of the CX-9 as opposed to the RX400h. But, according to Yahoo! Autos the cost of ownership of the two is actually very close $61k for the CX-9 and $63k for the RX400h.
Which, in your opinion, would be the one to get?
