Default RX350 rank#1 in US News for best Luxury midsize SUVs

I was reading US news this morning and discovered that RX350 is rank #1 in the best Luxury midsize SUVs class. It is very impressive and I would like to share this with you. Below is the link for this article.

Even RX350 body style has been out since 2003 and very minimal change since then, it is still rank #1. Way to go Lexus

I am not going to argue with the results but the math does not add up.

They must be using more numbers and factors to get to the conclusion. I have seen similar things in "A" car magazine where Corvette won on every count but they declared the BMW the winner

Yeah, I am not sure I agree with that article and the ratings either, but the RX definitely belong in the top ten.

According to the report/review which they reviewed and compiled reports from majors media publication and again, according to them, they said it is unbias report. Here is the full review.

lol yeh...their grading scale is a bit weird

the rx350 got int the 9.4s without an avg from getting a 9 in any category.

plus, the RX400h gets a lower score since it doesnt perform as well? and the RX hybrid has a better interior and apparently is safer too and still performs lower on that test

it may be an unbias report, but it is still only their opinion.
