At the risk of being flamed (or worse: being called a thread-jacker

Ok, rant off, I feel better now.

The boys are now 30 months and 7 months. Right now we get by with our hatch and my new GS. If/when we need more space, if I have anything to say about it, it will be a minivan on one side of the garage. By then there should be a pretty sweet hybrid version of the Sienna XLE.
And talk about your false stereotypes---my wife is more resistant to the minivan idea than am I. Go figure.

I love lexus as well but that does not overshadow my appreciation of other makers who may build somethign that looks better, handles, feels better. etc. Again - this thread was opened for comments and views on the RX300 being too feminine so I voiced my opinion.
thanks.
thanks.
1. Your on a Lexus forum, and IMO, this forum is as unbiased as it gets. That is because most here have cars from other brands and experience with other brands.
2. Don't get your panties in a bunch is we don't like the FX. I also don't like the Tourag, QX56 and I don't like the new Jetta. That is my opinion.
3. You need to read what I WROTE about MY OWN RX before you come to CHILDISIH conclusions. If you didn't see me making fun of MYSELF and othe RX owners in my lenghthy post, I ask you to just read and not post.
Your post is UNWARRENTED and NOT APPRECIATED. Nowhere in this thread are people PRO RX and anti EVERYTHING else. Read the RESPONSES. People are saying the RX is feminine here.

Is it me, or does the RX look like a huge egg? (Am I the only one here old enough to remember the AMC Pacer?)
We have tons of RXs around this area, and I'd say 90% are driven by women. I'm being generous here - I can't say that I remember ever seeing a guy driving one, but I don't keep track of those things.
I've actually considered getting one to replace my car, but it just seems like a downgraded version of my GX. Maybe a more practical version, but still a wannabee. OTOH, I would be more likely to drive it than a sedan, so who knows?
BTW, most women do not like feminine cars. When people say "feminine" in this case, they really mean weak. Weak and vulnerable is not an image we want when driving around!

Again...stereotypes. I hear this same stuff about Miatas, MR2 Spyders, and VW Beetles / Cabrios. Please...give me ONE good reason why a male cannot or should not drive one. I have yet to find a reason myself. Even with the Beetle's flower tube next to the steering wheel, one does not have to USE it.

The Miata and MR-S are also way fem, but can be somewhat redeemed with upgrades (aka testosterone injections). Slammed, roll bar-equipped or hard-top Miatas look cool, but still lack power (aka *****). The MR-S could have been bad-*** with a real motor and a widebody kit a la their JGTC counterparts, but Toyota decided to neuter it and thus relegate it to stereotypes and poor sales.
We as consumers shouldn't have to dump $10 grand into a "sports car" to prevent our sexuality from being questioned by 90% of the population. Buy one of the above cars, and that's exactly what you'll have to do.

Chick cars, period. Even chicks will tell you that they are chick cars. End of discussion.

If someone is going to question YOUR sexuality or YOUR manhood because YOU bought a Beetle or Cabrio instead of a Corvette or Dodge Viper, then whose problem is THAT?
NO....it is not YOURS....it is THEIR problem...a BIG one. THEY are the ones making fools of themselves, NOT you. You will have every right to turn around and tell them to flake off or go jump in the lake.
What would these morons have to say to the fact that Enzo Ferrari himself...the owner and founder of one of the world's most foremost exotic sports-car companies.....chose an econobox 50-HP Fiat 128 as his personal daily driver?

End of discussion? There is no such thing as the end of car discussions in CAR CHAT.

All true, but it doesn't change the fact that Beetles/Cabrios are viewed by the VAST majority of the human race in the light that they are. You don't have to like it, but that doesn't make it untrue.
BTW, your earlier post about minivans, I agree with 100%. Look at my sig.
