We decided on the Acura RL. They didn't have one in the color combination I liked (white pearl/beige interior), so they had to locate one out of town, and they're ringing it in for us. It should be here Wednesday, with a day for dealer installed options.
Between it and the Lexus, I liked how the Acura looked a little better, and Grace liked the safety features a lot better, and after driving both, I just liked the feel of the Acura a little better.
Plus, comperably equipped, the Acura was about 10 grand less. My father in law is paying, so price isn't much of an issue, but we didn't want to go overboard.
Anyway, this is what it should look like:
