Default My wife joined the Lexus family this weekend

I bought my 2015 RC350 FSport last September. She had been wanting a new Rav4 but did not like how under powered the 4 cyl is. Then she wanted a limited Highlander and then realized it is as big as her Sienna minivan she had for a long time. I told her to look at the RX350's months ago. She finally did.

She now has a grey 2015 RX350 with saddle bag leather and she absolutely loves it. It had 39K miles and was a certified pre-owned. We get 3 yrs & 2 months of bumper to bumper warranty + the next 20K miles of services done for free (including the 60K service :-) )

Congrats on the great pick up. There's a good reason why the Lexus RX is the highest selling Luxury SUV in the US by quite a significant margin. I don't own one, but ALWAYS request the RX as a loaner or the NX. I wish they implemented the giant screen in the RC models! :P Enjoy!

Funny, that is very similar to my wife's recent situation.
She has driven Toyotas for several years. Had a Camry, went to a Rav4, then back to a Camry after the Rav got rear ended by an idiot going about 60 mph.
She went to the Yota dealership and drove a 4Runner and a Highlander. I liked the 4Runner and she didn't love either.

We ended up finding her a 2016 NX 200t Sport and it was love at first sight.
Brought it home this past Friday.

I did all the chrome around the grill, windows and logos. I need to redo it all. My first attempt was decent.

I had a RAV4 for a while because I thought it would be a nice little car, but it turned out to be much too basic, loud and uncomfortable. I sold it and got a used, CPO RX, which was a wonderful car and served me well. My RC is AWD, so I really did not need the RX so much any more, so I sold it and discovered that the RX keeps its value very well.
