18" wheels are not exactly small - they are same wheel size as in Lexus IS and GS.

What I said was that Rav4 with same wheels rides completely opposite of that - it crashes over big potholes due to hard suspension and yet it still leans in turns. Still not bad in its class as the reviews say, NX is just a lot better.

You will never say that a SUV like Rav4 rides like a luxury sedan... it does not, none of them do.

Funny but the leading feature might be the technology offered .

Agreed. There are a good number of things that bother me about this SUV, but it's still on my short list of potentials to replace the IS.

LOL, nothing wrong with that. RX is the best selling Lexus!

as you know, big Toyota and Lexus fan here... I have to say that this is their most competitive product in quite an while... I wasnt around pre-2002 models, so I dont know about those.

My only wish would have been to have D4-S in their 300h... it would have added 20hp extra and maybe even lowered the consumption.... rest I am very happy so far with, to the point of probably being my next vehicle.
