Congrats on the new baby. The IS isn't the best family car to have, my 19 month son is always pushing up on my seat cuz he doesn't have that much room. I got a second coming in July, so it'll be fun trying to fit 2 car seats in there.

haha...this was my worry. The trunk and little things we do I do not have to have the SUV. I wanted more cabin space and many said the GS was not the greatest either. I posted a thread and and got mixed reviews from current members. I just want something safe for the family and I guess it only makes sense to get something that will allow us to travel and other things when necessary. The RX is a great SUV and many that I know have had them for years. I have never heard one bad thing.

Congrads on the upcoming baby I can just picture your son! Maybe he wants to drive

Mike, last week when I took my car in they gave me a brand new 08 RX350 for a loaner. Lexus has this car nailed down. Very smooth ride. I was getting surprisingly good MPG on the highway. If I cruised around 55-65 I could get 25 mpg. Interior is nice and comfortable. Not bad looking as well.

Can't speak for Mike but we got one because the new model is coming out next year.
Invoice pricing and the new model won't have big discounts or low leasing costs.
Besides,it's the wife's vehicle.She doesn't care.
It';s a nice vehicle.

Yeah Mike, you better come back and visit once you get the wife her RX350 (look at your big fan club). My friend's mom has a RX, and it's a very nice SUV. New baby should be very happy riding around in it.

Sorry to see you go!

I have a feeling there might be a mad scramble to buy those rims if you do indeed decide to sell them!
