Default What will be your next practical Lexus purchase?

After having driven the '04 RX loaner for a day when I had service done to my car, I feel confident that will be my next purchase. I love the new head/tailights, remote control for the rear door, the entire center console, and best of all, the steering wheel audio controls

Just wondering what you guys are thinking for your next Lexus purchase (whether you keep your current one or not).

For me, it will be the SC430.

I have a friend who drives an M3 and he told me to get the M3.

I gave him the middle finger.

The new 2007 LS, unless it's design greatly disappoints me (I'm confident the rest of the car will not).

since you said practical I am going to say GS many of them can be had at really great prices and parts are no longer hard to get.

SC/RX/GS they will all be black on tan baby!

Boooooo, tell us!

I'm thinking if I were to get another Lexus (yeah right) it'd be a 98-00 white on tan LS400. I figure it'll be that before I can afford an '04.

I could see me in a next gen LS with every goodie and gadget they offer. Oh wait, you said practical.

We love our 04 RX330, but with a new kid and possibly more in the future, the GX would be our next upgrade - more space, larger (but not too large like the beautiful LX).

Also I have to say (remember this is my opinion only), I am looking for a more rugged truck. The RX330 is sleek, but not aggressive enough from a guy's point of view. It has everything, but a true Sports Exterior Package.

Mine? A pre-loved 99+ GS300, so I can transplant a 2JZGTE and it has stock HID that's all I need
