We've had a '00 AWD Premium, '02 AWD Coach Edition and an '04 AWD Ultra-Premium. How can you tell we LOVE these SUV's? haha

SUV's and Mini-vans are for " successful, I have arrived " women and soccer-moms, in that order !

Real men drive trucks, know which end of a hammer to use, and can spell FEMININE !

How about our G55? Is that masculine enough to be considered a truck? Since it rides about as nice as a 1-ton Silverado...
I don't really care about your opinion on what I drive. I love my RX so I'll stick to that and you can have your trucks...

I vote with those who say it's more a thinking guys car. The ES300/ES330 is more of a girls car, less headroom.
Let any woman get in the RX and watch where they put their purse, 95% of them will put it just in front of the lower storage area, it's actually better that they can't access it while they are driving cause that's where mine keeps her makeup

Well next time you take it offroad get some pictures.

Here are some pictures of our M5 after we took it offroad...


Come on RXer's. If the 5 can do it you can too.

P.S. Joking. The M5 lost it off the side of the highway and we had to recover it and it ended up getting all nasty in the mud. The second picture is a picture of it cleaned afterwards. There wasnt any damage done luckily.

I love my RX330. I bought it in January, trading in my 2003 Murano and annoying the salesman when he asked me how I wanted to finance it. I just smiled and handed him my platinum amex. My mom was there with me and she about burst out laughing because the look on his face was priceless

The wife drives the RX, she needs it to get up icy hills during the winter here in Alaska. I drive the GS, no steep hills for me to climb in order to get to work. We both like certain attributes of each car and occasionally trade off, but none the less it is firmly stated that the RX is hers.

I dont think the RX is very masculine. Its very attractive to the female population. Every female I know likes to c my RX. And This is EXACTLY y i got mine. The MDX is too big and the X5 is not worth the money and ML is a gas guzzling minivan.

I found the original post of this thread interesting in that the poster was shocked a woman would drive an RX because it is an SUV. Am I missing something here?? Since when don't women drive SUV's?? I think the RX is the classic soccer mom vehicle on the planet. For the record, I don't own an RX. I own an LX and cringe EVERY time I bring it in for service because I know I'm getting stuck in the RX. It always seems like torture to drive the RX after being used to the space of the LX.

That's one of the stupidest comments I've ever read.
