Chris..
It was a purchase mostly based on reliabilty and again..her vehicle..her choice and I agree on the humdrum Toyota thing ..but again..tough to argue with success..
This black thing is getting way outta hand..her cureent MDX is black too..bu then what color do you get in the RX..it's her call again so she can maintain it..
A black vette would be nice but I'm looking at adding an 800hp package to my ZR1 this summer first...maybe when/if the C7 ZR1 comes out

I have never been a big fan of Lexus, they are overpriced Toyotas IMO. Don't even mention the new spindle grille styling, they make me wanna puke!
We still have my wifes 2003 Highlander V6 and it's the same damn thing as the RX300 and they always will be. Mind you our Toy does have 192K on it and we replaced the timing belt for the 1st time at 180K but the feel is still cheapo.
For our main vehicle we choose the new Acadia for size and versatility as well as the luxury appointments it offered for the price. But with that said the RX will be reliable for many years to come.
Anyways congrats on your purchase Nanook. The important thing is you and your wife are happy with it. BTW I'm noticing a trend, black ML, black RX... maybe a black Vette in your future??

I didn't want larger..didn't even want as big as RX..more like RDX or GLX but settled on the RX

Just go and LOOK at the new Highlander. What do you have to lose? I really think it's a winner. Feels like a much smaller vehicle while driving it.
