Yep, suddenly there's a bunch of them on the road....or are we just sensitive to the profiles and we just ID them off the bat?

We, as owners, are sensitive to seeing our own cars on the road, but it is true that there are many, many RX 330 and 350 (and 400h) on the road.

As of a year or so ago, sales of the RX were 42% of all Lexus cars sold. That's a lot for one model out of about 8 (LX, GX, RX, SC, LS, ES, GS, IS, plus hybrid variations). I don't know what the percentage is today, but it's probably still in that range.

Lexus hit the mark with the "crossover" RX300, and the 330 in '04 corrected some shortcomings and added some elegance to the look. They seem to be selling all of these they can make.

All those other RXs on the road just act as positive reinforcement for your purchasing decision.

this is the model that made lexus the way it is today. It changed the brand image, and made it the number one selling luxury vehicle in US since 2000
