I have driven my RX since 2001, really like it, and don't care, that as a guy I might be in the minority. Who cares as long I enjoy the vehicle?

Hi si 2009
Thanks for the info. One other ? did you get the wood steering wheel and shift knob? Sounds like you got a geat car. How do you like it so far? Was the salesman/dealership easy to deal with? If so what were the salesmans initials (no aloud to list Name).
Thanks so much .

Just took delivery of my third RX, a 2010 AWD w/Nav, Premium, Comfort, wood wheel/knob, tow pkg, auto start...and I'm all man. First was an '04. Back then the target customer was female. Today's RX features sheet metal that is more muscular, a firmer ride...and technology that is gender neutral but very appealing.

How do you compare your previous RX vehicles with the redesigned 2010? I am driving a 2001, works great, and I am debating if I want to purchase a 2010.
Also, what was the MSRP and final price, excluding taxes, fees etc of your new vehicke.?
Thank you.

Hi, degirl and chrisny
I have wood steering. Mine is black. I love it. The salesman/dealership were very nice and helpful. I worked with SS. He even helped me setup my phone-pairing function. I love that feature. He also helped me get better loan rates. Great experience with them! I called other dealers. Freehold's offer is the best one I could get. I sold my old car on last Saturday. Actually I was in a rush to get a new car. So I end up delivering my old car and getting my new car in NJ at the same day!

My first RX was an '04 and I found the car to be reliable, comfortable, predictable and not very exciting. I was coming out of a BMW X-5 which is much more truck-like. I really never considered any thing else to replace the '04 but the new iteration of the RX. I liked the look, the nav system was upgraded and, again, the car proved to be highly reliable, excellent on gas mileage (for such a large vehicle), comforatlbe, predictable...and not very exciting. Coming to the end of my lease I looked seriously at the M-B 350GLK, the Volvo XC60 and the Audi Q-5. I loved the Q-5, liked the Volvo and was not very excited about the M-B. I drove the 2010 RX and noticed that it was larger (higher ,longer, wider), offered a firmer yet still comfortable ride, was a great deal more responsive in handling, and generally more exciting. I got in on the RX lease retention program and pulled the trigger. I'm glad I did. The new interface with nav, audio, climate, etc. is nothing short of brilliant. The interior is well laid out and I find it attractive. Gas mileage has improved slightly and so has accelleration. I like the 55/80 cubes of available cargo, highest in class, and the new more masculine look. I have no reason to expect anything less than the mechanically reliable Lexus experience. As to the finances, MSRP was $47,100 with Comfort, Premium, Premium Audio,Nav, Tow Prep, Wood steering/shift knob, cargo net, remote start and wheel locks. Final agreed upon cap cost was $44,052. 36/12,000 lease at $614.
