All my Lexus have been either red or boring so color!

Looking forward to your review. A lot of people say it’s a great driving vehicle, but the infot ainment has a lot of issues.

Let us know if the lack of sliding doors makes it easier to use ;)

those are decent looking rigs, (kudos Acura.) I don’t even mind the giganto badge in front
![]() 02/06/2019 at 17:12 |

The giant badge hides all of the radar and the like. Eevry new car I have tested has them that big

I know we’re not supposed to admit it in these parts, but I’ve been eyeing those lately. I won’t be in the market anytime soon but it’s on the list so I will be very interested in what you find.

Suburbans should have sliding doors

I really like the RX but I already know this will be way more fun

All minivans should have sliding doors.

Congrats! That blue should look pretty nice!

definitely a better way to handle it than that weird plastic bit in the grill that Mercedes has been doing

That’s a nice looking CR-V!

Faux floating C-pillar so you know it is exciting, dynamic, and unique, not just another fancyish CUV beloved by bloggermommies and bloggerdaddies alike , nope no way :)
Off-road it.

I love the red interior in these.

I’m saving my offroading for the LX570 next wek

Fun fact: that blue debuted on the S2000 in 2008.
Very interested, obviously.

Considering how cheap you can get the RDX used I’d be hard pressed to even look at a CR-V
.
![]() 02/06/2019 at 17:35 |

Other reviews have said it’s not very sporty so I’m not sure how much fun it is.
![]() 02/06/2019 at 17:37 |

Oh noo. I kind of avoid reading other reviews right before I drive something.

I have this problem with the ES350 and the Avalon

*ads fact to review notes*

You do have take it with a grain of salt since there is a built in anti-crossover bias with most reviews.
![]() 02/06/2019 at 17:39 |

The RDX is also opted with a V6 or previously turbo 4 and SH AWD,
the CRV ain’t getting none of that action.

I have developed into a “I understand crossovers” person. I even like my wifes ‘09 Rx350 because its just so dang useful.

Try to hop some curbs in that thing, too.

We’re using it to tow our camper trailer, then ful offload trip

I’ve driven the original turbo SH-AWD RDX. It sounds good on paper but the 5-speed auto with gears spaced too wide for the motor’s powerband kills any potential fun. It’s always falling out of boost.

I don’t imagine marketing is at all unhappy about it though. Badges were getting bigger even before the sensor explosion.

This is a new gen, it’s only been out a couple months. Dealers aren’t even givi ng more than $500- 1000 off MSRP yet.

I had to stop myself from asking to test drive one when I was at the dealer last week.

Still better than the printed pattern on Kias and Hyundais.

You should try to tow a LS along with the camper.

Crossovers are completely understandable. They can be a jack of all trades if designed correctly.

I swear the 2nd Gen RX is fantastic. Two greyhounds fit easily, we’ve moved our normal items from house and others without a problem, and in general it just does everything we need it do. It also does this without being a minivan for my 24 year old wife who is not a mom and doesn’t need to carry 7-8 people.
Also RIP the ISF.

RIP indeed... Loved her while I had her. It’s actually on sale at the dealer I traded it to, and there is a big F following here, so someone might pick it up.

I wish I could find more F peeps here. Just so few cars.

It’s very good. The trackpad isn’t as intuitive as Lexus, but overall the car is fantastic

I’ve read that the trackpad and the brakes are really the only drawbacks.
