The 15 will treat you well.
the new highlander is a little longer and taller than the new rx

The Highlander is wider and 0.4" taller but not longer.

The new Highlander is 192.5" long, 68.1" high, and 78.5" wide.

The new RX is 192.5" long, 67.7" high, and 74.6" wide.

But back on track, as the OP didn't like the Highlander anyway.

Thank you all! I have a new problem in my hands right now, I knew in my gut I didn't love the car the day I bought it vs the day I test drove it. Couldn't figure out what was wrong all these days. Today I was trying to delete some pictures on the phone and happened to find out, they did not give me the car I test drove. They sold another car to me. What are my options? I know I signed a bunch of papers. The front of the car looks entirely different, I mean the grill. I thought only sports models have different grills. I love the honeycomb grill and that's what I fell in love with. The one they sold me is the regular one. Thank you all once again.

Check your paper work. I have purchased a lot of vehicles over the years and near heard of this except for some private sellers doing a bait and switch. Did you buy the car from a dealer? Did you not see that it was a different grill when you picked it up? Maybe they just gave you the wrong one? Hopefully they will give you the car you thought you bought.

This is a lexus certified dealer, so I blindly trusted them. Did they just change the grill? Is that possible?

No they would not change the grill. Plus there would be more differences than just a grill.

Obviously there was a breakdown in communication as to which vehicle you wanted. I would go directly to the General Manager and make the deal you wanted. Again, check your paper work and VIN numbers. Do not wait to make arrangements with the dealer.

Yes they won't bother with changing the Grill. What they sold you is non F-Sport AWD RX instead of the F-Sport version that you Test drove. Usually non F-Sport version have the Wooden Steering wheel where as F-Sport RX doesn't have Wood steering wheel. If you can recall that.

As metnioned above contact your dealer as soon as possible and let them know of the mis communication and if you be nice and they are reputable dealer they probably will swap the vehicles with no cost to you.
