No way we could've gotten that 65" TV home from Costco in a useless SUV...with room for 4 people too.  Why even bother?


Talk to me when you can bring home 4x8 sheets of plywood.

I've carried lots of plywood and drywall in my truck....whats the issue?!?!?

That's a pretty legendary derailment!!

Back to SUVs.  Nobody has mentioned how they basically roll over in the slightest of winds.


Or when you try to make any turns.

Drove a rental X3 on Sea to Sky and it was terrible. At highway speed, it just felt like it would tip over at any moment when there was a curve.

And that 2.0 Turdbo has the worst lag I have ever experienced.

I guess SUVs are spacious, but really, you can do everything better in a wagon, unless ground clearance becomes an issue(a non-issue in BC for the most part).

Can't wait to redo the route with my 8.

The RX is perfect to Get out of , even the truck is easy to get out of ;D
The RX is not much different than the 3 minivans and 4 wagons we have owned over the years

About that...

Why the hell did Lexus name it RX?

When I think of RX, I want it to be associated with cool sport cars(or cool old family cars), Not boring SUVs.

And it also gets rid of that pesky driving excitement, which is really Toyota/Lexus in a nutshell: reliable as all hell, but I legitimately have trouble staying awake driving one that's not a sports car.

I just realized I have owned 55 vehicles but not a single CUV. Although a few SUVs, trucks and vans in there.

Not that much excitement on the roads in Southern Ontario , there are some back roads which were nice when we had the ragtop, but those roads have a lot of potholes in them now :'(

No, but tailgate on a pickup won't close either unless you have an 8' bed. Most trucks I see are quad cab/crew cab with a short box.
