Here is my review:

I have had a 2014 RX350 for about (4) weeks and it drives SO MUCH nicer then our 2009 (V-6) Venza, in fact I can't wait to get rid of the Venza. The RX350 "only" cost about $8k more (or $140/month for 5 years) and I wish I had just gotten a RX back in 2009...

Haha, looking more for "official" "published" automotive reviews in this thread but all is forgiven since I also had a Venza V6 FWD. I won't go on and on about that vehicle, but in short, I traded it after a year and a half because of the harsh ride, rattle in the steering column, and very poor fit and finish of the dash speaker covers, HVAC controls, vents, pretty much everything in the dash.

I never saw a journalist go back and forth several times in the same review disliking and liking a vehicle like this guy. It's humorous to say the least.

Thanks for posting this. I needed a laugh.
He said he would like a bit more "action in the rear." Interesting choice of words, so to speak.
I'm on my way to the barber after tearing my hair out from listening to his whining.
I felt sorry for the cameraman having to shoot in the wet snow on the side of the road for the artistic snow-covered pine-needle shots. I guess he had to put up with the driver's pissing and moaning about the F-Sport badge too. I wonder if he complains in a restaurant the boasts "Steaks done to perfection."
Back to the video. Playing with the nav while driving looked like a precursor to a head-on. Rocking the suspension supposedly on a slick road cracked me up. Gimme a break!
This was NOT a drive in the snow. The road was never slippery. Looks like the road had been salted on most of the ride.
At the end he topped all his musings with "It's a solid, reliable, comfortable car, and that's a good thing. I will not watch this review again. Jeesh!
On a good note: The background music choice was excellent. Thanks, post-production!

Just purchased a 2014 RX-350 for my beloved wife, and so far she's very happy driving it.
