Was starting to look at purchasing a CPO LX570 and I'm on the fence. I think I read in one of your posts that you have been spending more time in the RX. Thoughts on the LX? I've been debating on an RX350 F Sport and or another GX for an SUV. Heck even looked at a 4Runner Limited.

Thanks,

Love the LX. Just not using it. I drive the Q7 daily and she drives the RX and loves it. The LX was only used on an occasional weekend. The R8 is for my mid life crisis. Never spent so much money on a vehicle like the R8, but I warn you to never let the friendly sales person talk you into a test drive. Never!

Interesting, that's why I bought the GS F, mid life. It's been great and was budget friendly for me. Feeling the need for a SUV again though. Wife drives the 14; GX 460. Now debating on the extra ride.
Thanks,

Well R8 is also my dream car too some time I want to give up my 17" LX to get the R8 as a fun when I turn 40 in two years, because I never really driving it since I drive my IS350 as daily and my GX on the weekends, but I really don't want to lost about twenty grands just in few months anyway congrats on your new R8

LX570 for long distance highway cruising. RX450h for city stop and go traffic and around town. Both are reliable and get you from point A to point B. But the R8 is sure more fun!!! 😊😊😊😊😊

Default 2017 lx570 rv

I bought my 2017 LX RV (retirement vehicle) last summer and plan to keep it for a couple years for road tripping. Audi makes a good vehicle, but I was turned off on them as the last city where I lived, anyone driving an Audi had an attitude (even though most were probably 3 months in arrears on payments and driving fast to avoid the repo man). I just avoided getting too close to any Audi on the street because you could count on the driver doing something stupid -- Audis always have the right of way you know (or so their owners think). When I need to turn heads, I'll order an LC.

LOL!

I am sure the Audi drivers feel the same about you in your LX.

I am very glad I do not think like you!

Audi and Porsche have come a long way in reliability and they have some very interesting designs. I would definitely choose them over MB and BMW and we have an S4 in the family.




Still a Toyota loyalist though with my history for the company.
