*raises hand* but im only considering because its time for a new car for the family. However, id sooner trade in my IS300 for the new gen prius or the dedicated lexus hybrid next year than trade in my RX.
i need the utility sometimes. plus, i still love the car no matter how many miles it goes per gallon

If you can afford a Lexus mileage isn't that big a deal but I guess that was last years thinking. Gas prices are too high not to consider trading for a better mileage vehicle. Even if I have to drive a Chev. or Ford.

No, I am getting great gas mileage 22 to 23 miles per gallon...Not much stop and go driving...Would not want smaller less powerful vehicle..This is city driving but a lot of freeway runs...

Intermediate
We are a multi car family. I have had an SUV since 1980 when they were not the "In kind of vehicle" that is so popular today. SUV's for the most part are not ever going to get good gas mileage as a car due to their weight, heavier drive train (when you get AWD or 4WD) and aerodynamics. We have the RX for hunting,fishing, camping and trips to Wally World and Home Depot and a ES for other driving needs. I also have a sports car for pure driving fun which also gets pretty good gas mileage. Since I just bought my RX 2 months ago I have no thoughts of selling or trading it.
