If you had to choose between these SUV vehicles which would it be & why?

Very nice. I'd choose the Lexus over the Infiniti. Even though the Infiniti does get better gas mileage, 14/20 compared to 12/18, and it's cheaper, the Lexus just looks better in my opinion. The D pillar on the Infiniti just doesn't follow the lines of the vehicle. It sweeps forward and I rarely prefer that in any vehicle. I'm also not a fan of woodgrain. Some people think woodgrain is a sign of prestige but I don't need that. It's never done anything for me really. I had an 04 Lincoln Navigator with woodgrain and I just don't like it. The Infiniti doesn't look good to me, it never has. It looks awkward, while on the other hand the Lexus looks ordinary. You'll be able to blend in while in traffic, but if someone was really paying attention they'd notice it's a Lexus. The interior of the Lexus also appears to be more functional than the Infiniti's. Overall, I'd pick the Lexus.
