If the RX 350 had a third row I wouldn't have purchased it. I say good move keeping it the way it is. I looked at the Volvo XC90 and the info on that stated that it was mostly for kids or small people I think it was 120 or 130 Lbs or less. You could order it with out but every one on the lot had the 3rd row seat. The salesman said just leave it down, but you loose cargo space and the added weight and cost of the extra seat was not wanted by me.

Unless the vehicle is large like the Expedition or similar third row seating is useless for anyone except a child or a dog. Lexus should keep the new RX the same size and forget about the third seat.

 

Please no 3rd. row seat in the RX....I love it like it is...Didn't want a bus.......

 

yea say no to 3rd row seat because i really don't want to trade mine in for it
