Roof Box suggestions for the RX350
I would like to get a roof box (Yakima most likely) for my RX... however, I'm concerned about fit. i want to get the most room, but something that I can still open the hatch up and not worry about it hitting the box... or having it stick too far out in front of the car.
I was thinking about the Yakima Space Cadet 15S, but in person it looks pretty small.
Does anyone use a box on theirs that might suggest a good option?

I have a Safari Roof Rack which I can throw up there if I need to, but it's not a closed box and may not suit your purposes.

I got this for a RAV4 I had, and when I sold that tin can, I was able to get new clamps to attach it to the RX and keep using the roof rack.
Even when I don't really need to use it, I'll put it on for fun because it's a good look.

With my '04 RX 330, I have a Thule Evolution 1600
(Canadian site: http://www.thuleracks.com/thulecan/p..._id=11&sku=672 ).
It fits great. With the cargo box in the most forward position on the factory rails, the rear hatch opens fully with about an inch to spare.
