Am I the only one that notices Lexus RX350's everywhere?

Along with the previous RX300 and 330.

At my office alone there are 3 of the previous gens including a hybrid. Also a set of twin 350's that park nose to nose near the front of the lot.


Not to mention the amount I see daily on the road.
I never had the chance to mess around with one. I am looking for another daily, interested in the new ML550, but the curiousity of the RX has me ready to schedule a test drive...

What is the bandwagon?

Classic upper middle class soccer mom car. It's like a Camry SUV for slightly wealthier people.

Pretty much.

I was never a fan of them...my uncle had an RX300 and it was a terrible car. He ended up getting rid of it after just two years.

I noticed that as well

I just assumed Lexus had some kind of "buy one get one free" deal going on

With currently has a 2010 RX350 and has owned one of every generation (she's had a 1999, 2008 and 2010). It's a reliable vehicle that serves her needs and I don't foresee her ever owning any other type of vehicle as long as Toyota continues to put out a good looking reliable SUV with the features she has come to love.

True. Seems like 90% of the people I see driving them are middle/older aged women. Most of them seem to have blonde or grey hair too.

They are everywhere in the Denver area, including my garage. My wife has a 2008 RX350. They are very reliable and honestly not that expensive compared to similar SUV's when you buy them used.

We usually see about 3-4 of them when we go shopping on the weekend. Last time we went to Home Depot there was an RX parked on both sides of her car when we came out of the store.

At one point it was the market leader for luxury CUVs but the Camaro sells about the same volumes at least the last numbers I saw.
