married, retired, children out of house
2016 rx350 (traded in 2008 RX400H) wife
2012 rx350 husband who wants his own 2016 RX350 for the safety features.

Of all the RX350/400H/450H drivers, I have ever seen, almost everyone is female. I only know one other man with an RX350. I have no problem driving the car, I love it, but based on my area of NJ most owners are female and in 30s/40s.

Prospective RX 350 owner - will try to hold off purchasing until the snow leaves in the spring.

1. 61
2. Married - 2 teenage kids + Cavalier King Charles puppy
3. Male

I agree completely with "joewnj". In my area of western MA the overwhelming majority of RX and GX drivers are female. Not sure why - the RX and GX are great vehicles for guys.

RX 450h F Sport--it's my wife's car:

1) 41 y.o.
2) 3 kids
3) Female

As for me, I have a Porsche Macan Turbo....and actually a little jealous of my wife's RX. My 10 year old son and I just finished washing the Macan, pulled it up next to my wife's RX and we both agreed: The Macan looks better in the rear, RX looks better in the front. Overall, we felt the RX might even edge it out in the looks department. Driving experience, that's a little different of course.
