As a client car the RX is equal if not better suited space wise. The RX says SUV and to me it says more contemporary/trendy. The ES is a competent car and it has been readily accepted as family car and conservative business car. Both fall together IMO. In the end if you forsee that your business image is influenced by the car you drive, I'd reach for a GS or LS.

the best way I can put it is "You won't regret getting any one of these"

because they all serve different purposes and meet different demands.

My personal choice is RX330 because I really like that car. The ES330 is alittle too comfy for me, and the IS300 is alittle small for me.

My pick would be the RX330, but I don't need an SUV for now.
