i was going to say it looks good until i got to the rear spoiler and non-functional side vents, that just didn't click with me.

but i understand your point about personal taste, different strokes for different folks and i fully respect that.

on a side note, the RX broshure states that the RX is not recommended for off road use, so it's moot to say that a stock IS is more off-road capable.

i am not mistaking the RX for a real off-roader body-on-frame suv like Toyota Prado/Land Cruiser i realize the RX is a unibody soft off-roader with electronic rather than mechanical 4x4.

the reason i got the RX over a sedan was that we frequently take snorkeling trips and i needed something with more space and some off-road capability, the higher road clearance of the RX combined with it's AWD is actually fairly good for light off-roading.

I taken it off-road several times already to get to our snorkeling spots and its quite capable on loose sands and climbing up and down reasonable inclines and the electronic AWD picks up pretty quickly when it detects wheel slipping, also lowering tire pressure definitely helps.

it wont climb dunes, but for my use its a good combination between some off-road capability and comfort inside the city.
