That is what a review is about. You are expecting him to publish a scientific data report, then look for those. If you follow a reviewer, then you can expect what sort of vehicle it is when he gives a thumbs up for a said vehicle. C&D puts a 3 series #1 every year even when on a numbers basis it cannot beat an Infiniti for crying out loud. But when C&D gives a thumbs up, you know what to expect given how they think.

think about it.

I've read you say that you were much more impressed with the MB GLK than the MB GL, and you direct that as a negative against the GL. That statement doesn't offer anything to anybody because the two vehicles are profoundly different, and any preference between the two speaks to YOUR values, not the merits of either vehicle. Post your thoughts about the GL against other $70k+ 3 row SUVs, and your thoughts about the GLK vs other small luxury/performance SUVs like the Q5 or X3...

Saying the Q5 is a lesser vehicle to the RX because its not as isolated and refined speaks again to YOUR values not the merits of the RX or the Q5 because they are different vehicles...the RX is obviously more "your type of vehicle". That does not mean the Q5 is diminished as a vehicle-but you put it out there as such.
There you go again. You want to take the MMARSHALL out of the MMARSHALL reviews? Don't. Please.

I do also really think it will have three rows...
I agree Lexus will make the RX with better interior quality, make it a look a little sportier and feel a little sportier but not sure if Lexus will add a third row to the RX. Only time will tell if Lexus add another CUV (TX) which would add a third row to a unibody CUV or if Lexus will take the RX and increase it's size to include a third row...

I hope they do! Especially since they have the smaller NX now.
