Default 2 RX'es at the SAME time?

I'm looking for another SUV for us and currently own 2010 RX350. The RX450h is very tempting and it is in the price range with safety and mileage that met our requirements.

Have any of you own 2 RX'es at the SAME TIME? What do you think?

I've had two Tacoma's at the same time, 2 Miatas, two MINI's, two motorcycles... why not? If it is what fits your needs go for it.

Sounds good but you should realize if you were to ever 'separate' there would be a custody battle

I had an original '99 RX and an RX400h. Then we got rid of the 400h and bought a 2010 RX350. We kept the '99 RX until very recently.

Wifey has a 2010 RX350 and I just got a 2012 450h. Whenever she can she takes mine. Sticker was over 60K with the Marl Levinson stereo, factory tow hitch, navigation, 19" wheels, semi aniline leather... Quite a ride. I used to have a cadillac DTS, will never go back.
If you have a great car, why not have 2.

We have two Lexus vehicles at the same time; my wife's '04 GX470, and my '11 Rx450h. I love both of these vehicles because they serve very different needs in terms of capacity and MPG. Both have been awesome, extremely reliable and a pleasure to drive. I like the difference between the two vehicles, and wouldn't want to limit myself to two of the same of either.

The corporate "loyalty" incentive is $1000. That's above and beyond any negotiation you make on the selling price. If I recall correctly you need to use Lexus financing to receive that. But at 0.9% that's not too hard to do.

Still, if your bank or credit union offers comparable rates, you can refinance after making one payment to Lexus and maybe even get an incentive from your back for that (I've seen $100-$200 refinance incentives).

If you can wait till the 2013 models are out at least there would be some difference between the two. 2013's are supposed to get a front end fascia update.

I'm hoping for the 12" screen and Entune (or whatever Toyota are branding it in Lexus) electronics like the new GS is getting. (New Prius' already have Entune)

I bought 2 new lexuses lately and both I got about 8-10% off MSRP without any discounts. It won't be hard to get that amount off from a new RX these days.

Do you actually need TWO SUV's to carry stuff? If not why not get another kind of Lexus to spice things up a bit, there are lots of selections to fit your needs. We have two Lexus' but I'd find it boring to have two RX's.......it's a nice vehicle but not that exciting to drive. My IS is far more fun to drive.

My understanding is the 12 inch screen won't appear in the RX until the full remodel happens, maybe 2015. I think Lexus should upgrade all of us to the Entune, all it is is software, come on Lexus get with it.
