    So last month I caved to marital pressure and traded my 4Runner in on a Lexus RX. A fine car if you're a middle aged lady on her way to yoga. I really beat myself up about it, and decided that the hit I'd take on the Lexus might be softened by the deals on a leftover 2019 model. So I went to my dealer tonight and they didn't make me a very impressive deal on their leftovers, but they did cut me a pretty sweet one on a 2020, so I ordered one. In a few weeks I will be the proud owner of a 2020 Mag gray SR5 premium 4wd with the sand beige interior. I will NOT be able to modify it this year because I've blown all my discretionary money on a Lexus I owned for a month.

    Welcome back!

    Those RX's are very nice. I considered buying a used one before I bought my Tacoma. I'm glad I went the route I did.

    But, if I could have multiple vehicles, I wouldn't mind a Lexus:D

    Lol! One of my buddies has an older one for winter duty. He refers to it as "the cloud" because it feels like you're just floating down the road:D

    Glad you’re back, stay positive at least the gx doesn’t turn you into a middle aged lady with a passion for yoga.

    Is that the highlander Lexus? That would be boring to me also.

    The GX is what we went on the lot to look at. How I went home without one is a question I'll be paying to answer for a while.

    Haha my bad, the gx shouldn’t be as bad even when I’m not a fan of the Lexus design

    Welcome back..! The GX's are pretty nice and can be modified as well, being it's a pimped out 4runner. The RX.... exactly like you said...it's a very comfy/plush rig made for the purple haired.. My wife recently upgraded her '15 Jeep GC and wanted to try the RX and the Q5... the Q5 won.! Pretty fun little car.
