RX is appealing to women since it's built perfectly for on road use. Most men I know claim they bought it for the wife, but I see 'em drive the RX as much as their wives. Go figure! I personally like the RX for the looks and comfort, and to me it's an LUV (luxury utility vehicle) not SUV. IMO, Unless your RX is pink, then I wouldn't worry about other's perception. I bet they're just jealous!!
