I really do recommend driving both the F Sport and non F Sport versions and see which feels better for you. For yours is truly the only review that matters when it comes to deciding what to drive every day.
I hadn't realize that (about the steering wheel).....I still like my F sport though

I'm sure you do. The F Sports look great.

My wife (and I, to a lesser extent) just couldn't get past the all black interior. Too dark in there (she called it "the tunnel"). If only they offered the interior in other colors, with lighter headliners, we'd have been a member of the F Sport crowd.

I have a few more questions.
Did any of you get the Saddle tan interior color, if so could you post some pics? Also, now that you have this color do you like it?

IS the RX350 quiet on the highways from road noise etc.?

This is subjective and relative, but if you're coming from a RAV4, you will notice a big reduction in road and wind noise. However, tires play a role here and avoid the Dunlops as they are noisy.

So to more officially back up my statement, see below at 4 min 35 sec onward.

The pSeudoRX is more masculine? Is he for real? My mom used to have one back when it was more boxy looking. She didn't like it as much as her 1RX. When she shopped the SRX again around the time the 3RX came out, the Cadillac sales guy told her the RX didn't have a power tailgate. Talk about being desperate.

tin369, the RX is quiet. You can tell how well it's insulated by the weight of the door. The saddle interior is very classy looking. What color exterior are you considering?

Thanks for the video, those guys are funny...
As far as color the exterior is still undecided, wife will choose it....haha

We are still not sure, if we want the bigger space, quitter, comfort ride but not fun to drive vs. a little smaller, by fun to drive X3. However, the lexus I think offers better material and more luxurious feel for the money compared to other including the X3.

Do you guys know how the RX350 stands in terms of safety and braking etc.

Will have to do multiple test drive back to back. Ohh and is there going to be a redesign soon after the NX is announced, maybe wait for that unless the dealer gives a huge discount...in that case it will be the Lexus.
