I would love to run my RX300 against an RX350 or RX400h. I have been itching to see how it would do at a lower altitude and with U.S. gas.

The RX 350 with 270 horsepower should be faster, more luxurious and more reliable than the BMW X3. I'm really excited about the 2007 RX 350. Lexus is just getting better and better.

More luxurious? You bet. Faster from 0-60? Maybe. Higher top speed? No. Faster in a curve or on a course? Absolutely not.

Default The X3 is not a competitor when folks are..

shopping for an RX. The X5 is more of a cross shop. The RX400h keeps up with the V8's in its class. The RX350 will also do so with the V6's. I'm not talking about track times. I'm talking about merging onto highways, passing situations with 3 passengers and gear onboard and real life use. The RX sold 106,000 copies last year and is the primary reason Lexus is number one in Lux. volume now 6 years in a row. Top speed is limited on all Lexus but is lower on the sport utes. This is the new generation dual variable valve timing engine applied into the largest volume model. The ES350 is next. It has the power....It is very fuel efficient...it doesn't pollute...It's fun to drive...It's a Lexus and we know that means it's reliable. Some improvements may sound like they are minor but this RX350 is quiet if that is important to you. The next gen Nav/Bluetooth is a pleasure and has a quick response time. It has modernized the most successful model of the franchise.

Lexmex, I'm coming down there to find you........with my new Ltd. slip center diff. Your posts are the best and always make us smile up here in MD.
