When it's time to replace the RX, I'm sure we'll give the Highlander another look.

I'm of the firm conviction that, in most cases, especially with vehicles running less than 40-50K, there is simply nothing like having a brand-new vehicle. IMO, it is usually worth the extra money over a used one. I'm aware of the depreciation argument for used vehicles, but feel that the lower risk with a brand-new vehicle usually outweighs those arguments. Of course, CPOs, for several reasons, do lower the risk of a used vehicle...but, of course, you usually also pay more for a CPO because of the inspection/refurbishing process....so you're also saving less money.

i swear to god, it drives smoother and quieter than the RX. It handles well too and I found the new speed sensitive electric steering to be extremely precise and pleasant.

Even aside from the new vs used car, the Highlander would be my choice. I think the Highlander has a better interior, I think its more functional and spacious. The RX is classier...thats really it...and I'm talking the refreshed 2013 RX. I even prefer the styling of the Highlander to a 2011 RX..

The Muppets hit the road in the all-new Highlander but Scooter has some trouble telling them exactly where they're headed. Join the shenanigans by tweeting @Toyota with #NoRoomForBoring

The latest Muppets movie was pretty good and they seem to be having a resurgence…Terry Crews is hilarious…If someone doesn't Toyota or the Highlander much anyway it didn't matter what they did.
