Default The old and the newer

I detailed a family members 2007 RX350 today. Pretty neat driving the 99 and driving the 07 and how many differences there are and how much more refined it is. I personally love the 07. I find it to be wonderful. I picked it up and i'm driving it back to them tomorrow so I will have put about 25 miles on it. So far I love it and want it when they are through with it. Even though it has 96,xxx miles on it...Which is more than my 99 with only 94,xxx miles on it...
Here are some pictures:
Please excuse the dirty 99.




So just a few pictures. Hope you enjoyed.

Nice, we have an 09 rx350 and while i wasn't that fond of it at first, maybe because we only had intentions of leasing it (ended up buying it) i've grown to love it. We have the same color combo and it shines up really well

If you like the 2nd gen, go drive a 3rd gen.

^ The thrid gen. rx is great, had one as a loaner and it is ridiculously refined, quiet, luxurious car. Msrp may be in the 50's but its definitely worth it i think. But i would probably buy a used lx470 instead

For some reason I just never was a fan of the first generation RX

The second one was nicer, but the looks didnt do it for me.

the choices were MDX, RX, FX45, cherokee, cayenne, XC90, etc
I ended up with the fx45 strictly due to looks & performance
