Default Hooked on Lexus

I am new here, I have owned well over 20 cars and trucks in the past 30 years. I bought my first Lexus one month ago an RX330 (05). Like it enough that I just bought an 02 LS430 from a Lexus dealer in Toronto.

Congrats on your purchases. I bet you'll love the LS. Everytime I have my car in for service I usually get an RX loaner. The RX is nice, but I'm always wanting to hurry up and return it so I can get into my LS again

It's gona be a tough fight to the end. I bought my wife the RX for Christmas hence the lxus4xms managed to get this on an ONTARIO plate. The Ls is for me but she will do her best to claim the better of the two. May need your help boys

Welcome. Glad you explained your user name

I agree with all of the answers posted above
One more: "the RX can carry more stuff when shopping"

Welcome to CL and congrats on your Lexus vehicles!!

One reason why lots of women drivers prefer the RX is the storage compartment areas in the front which can be handy for a purse.

You won't be able to convince her. Once the LS comes into play, she won't want to go back. We've had our RX for almost eight years now and loved it when it was our only Lexus. When we got our LS last year, she takes it every chance she gets. The only time she takes the RX is when there is snow on the road, which means I get the LS for the snow...

So, if you live up on Ontario, you could try telling her that for forecasts is calling for snow, even if it's in the middle of summer....

Thanks for the help and great news. She loves her RX silver on black. Does not want to drive the LS, wrong colour, she did say that I look good in it PERFECT. WHAT a ride drove it from Toronto to Perth Ontario got home and didn't want to get out of the car. By the way Canadians Ken Shaw Lexus in Toronto is the best dealer that I have ever dealt with.

Lucky for you it worked out. For us, the hunter green, was not my wife's favorite color, but black (which the LS is) is my wife's favorite color (for cars). Me, I'll stick to my favorite albino Integra GS-R.

My LS is a very dark green almost black. Most people think that it's black until the sun hits it. It has a beige interior.
