Could you clarify what 'too sporty for my needs' means? Is the ride too stiff?

 

The RX sells over 100,000 copies a year. Clearly people are happy.

 

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Lexus has done a nice job of upgrading the RX as needed to keep their demographic happy. Not only is it their best seller, it's probably their #1 money maker too.

 

The RX is a great suv for our moms & grandmothers. They don't want their medication and dentures flopping all over the place, so they need that soft ride

 

Funny... I guess there's 100,000+ grannies and mommies each year who like the ride.

 

Indeed .........

 

True! I also want my kidneys where they are too.

I like the suspensions for the straight drivings, but Lexus just need to beef up the sway bars at least.

When you get in the X3, the dentures will fall back out Not making fun of your' X3 Dashocker (glad you got the one with the painted bumpers ) but man, them suspensions are stifffff.... Handles nice but stiffffff

The GX rear door open sideways, like the CRV, Land Rover Discovery, rav 4 and some other suvs.

 

This was interesting to see everyones points.. but seriously...

If you are buying a Lexus, BMW, or Porsche SUV.. are you really buying it for utility? For that matter whens the last time you saw a decked out Escalade pulling a boat out the water? Uhm maybe.. one outta a thousand?

The majority of times, and I would bet on this people are buying a *luxory* SUV because its larger than a car and they can fit more of their everyday items in it.. Such as groceries, children, and things from Home Depot and Lowes. That is what they consider to be *utility.*

Besides maybe 3 of you -- who is really going to drag race and or take a turn in their SUV at 45+ mph? Lets be practical. If you REALLY wanted to tow something you'd have a truck, or an SUV based off a trucks platform! The SUV as someone said is a nice alternative to a VAN. Plus where I am RXs are everywhere! I can count 5 to 6 everyday on the way to work! Why change something thats not broken?

No way to an RX-F honestly I don't even think there should be an LS-F. GS-F and IS-F in my mind, and of course the LF-A.

 

I agree with you Gene that it opens the wrong way as I have mentioned in the GX forum and the survey.

Maybe that's why the FJ opens from the right side.

 

And the X3 is for people who hump BMW blindly b/c it is the worst BMW ever tested by pretty much every reviewer in history.

Useless on the road, usless off-road with less utlity than the 3 series wagon.

So in conclusion
RX-moms and grandmothers
X3-idiots

 

Ouch, that was pretty harsh...take a look at this review:http://youtube.com/watch?v=O_g5VyFdHIg

 

I would not call X3 owners idiots.

However, as much as I like BMW's the X3 sux big time.

I would much rather have a 4runner over an X3 any day.

Do you folks know most X3's end up as dealer loaner cars.

 

That's not true. A lot of reviews from magazines in Asia are praising the X3. And the face-lifted X3 has a revised suspension geometry which improves ride quality.

No comment on your "conclusion" about X3 owner. I think personal attack is ok as long as you are a moderator.

 

Haven't you learned by now, SICk is not a moderator. He hacked the system.

 

Yea SICK is definitely a mouthy one.



I'm just playing mang.
