Sadly, I just sold my FX50 over the weekend. I still like SUV a lot, but hardly drive it except either on rainy days or Saturdays (to haul around my son or do errands). It was an exceptionally unique vehicle: 400hp, AWD, Japanese quality/reliability w/ luxury thrown in the mix. The V8 was awesome, thought the gas mileage kind of sucked, but I never cared. Utility was decent but rear was a bit cramped. In the end, it was just a numbers issue where I have too many cars presently, otherwise if my wife would give up her RX350, I would of easily kept it. I'm hoping something more modern comes along like it (QX70 red sport 400 / LQ500?) so I can jump back into the sport SUV crowd.

Congrats, I've always liked those. I love how the wood trim goes all the way down the door.

In today's world of 2.0L 4 cylinders in luxury cars, a honkin 400hp N/A V8 would be enough to sell me alone.
