I have a 15 RX350 F-sport and think Nebula grey is one of the best colors for a F-Sport in my opinion. Its plenty aggressive for a luxury SUV, yet I also feel the suspension is soft and supple. I had a regular RX350 as a loaner and it was only just a tad softer compared to my F-sport. At only 32 I think I am one of the younger owners of a RX. I just don't care for a lot of the others out there. I did like the comfort and performance of my 12 Murano but hated the transmission.

A Girlie Truck !
New owner of the FSport RX, hmmm, well if its a girls truck aimed at the ladies segment
of buyers/owners well, too bad, l'm a guy, previous owner of several BMWs. Got tired
of the constant repairs and breakdowns so l finally switched over to true reliability, to
me that's Toyota/Lexus. Never owned a truck before, never had a white vehicle so l
got both in the FSport. Plans are to bring it down by about 4 inches, some painting as
the PO obviously didn't like or take care of it at all. Anyways, happy to not have to
worry about it dying on me or the constant repairs and check engine light always on
despite OCD caretaking of my cars.
Cheers all

It's not a truck. It's a crossover. Nothing wrong with that, they're just different animals. The RX is built on the K platform, aka the "Camry platform" whereas the current 4Runner is built on the J150 platform which is shared with vehicles like the Land Cruiser Prado & GX.

ls live or ls it Memorex ?
Lol, you're funny ! You can call it skateboard, muv, mpv, LMP1, l don't care what you call it; l calls it a
"truck" first, cause l never had a "truck" before, then it sits mmmmm, bout 6 inches taller than either of
my 5 series BMs or any vehicle l've ever owned for that matter, center of gravity as high as a kite not
ready for any corners, bound to flip if it ever gets into a bad situation, heavy for no reason, on-call 4wd;
l don't think it's well known for its fuel economy..... mmmm, ticks allot of the truck boxes to me. And
since you mention Camry, l'll have to do more research on the Camry side of the house for coilovers to
fit this truck of mine since the rear suspension is "divorced" which is causing me a couple hurdles to get
it back down to the ground level so l can take some corners in a decent way. Wow, 3.5inches, a
hand's width between the tire and fender, another 2inches for those 55series tires-- that's 5inches it
will come down once l'm finished with it.
Not interested in changing anything to give it 350hp, nothing l can do about putting it on a diet but
l can give it better brakes and sit it down some so my bottom is not grippin the seat in anxiety on a mild
bend. l hope you chime in with a response when you see it, that will be funny for sure.
Cheers !
