What is the point of a forum if all you will read is the positive post and skip the negative ones. You guys might as well start your own Lexus fanboy club and give each other group hugs and keep telling each other how great your Lexus are and pad each others back for buying one.

People will always bent the turth a little bit to get their point across, rather if its a positive post or a negative post. The negative post are actually helpful for people who are looking to buy a certain model and want to do some research on the internet to find out what the issues are with that particular model. If every car forum is full of posters who think their car is the best buy for the money, then these forums would be useless.

There is no better example of inaccurate information (an example of a negative article that is unjustified) than the Edmunds review of the RX450h. That guy had to be drunk when he wrote that junk. If he is not a fan of SUV's then why have this idiot do the test drive? Why not have someone that is unbiased one way or the other?

At that same time the BMW Club magazine "The Roundel" was very different with much discussion of their car's limitations and drawbacks.
This was back in the 1990's and early 2000's. I have no idea what the atmosphere is of either club now but my point is no one gains from football team attitude when it comes to cars. A real car enthusiast wants to know the entire story. I am a big fan of Rolls-Royce, or at least what it used to be, and there is no way you cannot see the limitations of their cars. They are far from perfect despite being over engineered, still I love them for what they are. I don't join these kinds of forums to enhance my ego or for a country club type setting. I join to learn and I have learned much for many of you on here. Thank you.

Consumer Reports has been critical of Toyota and Lexus, particularly when it comes to handling. Anyhow, back on topic, I hope the real-world owner results will further confirm the mpg improvements.

Have I missed something? Where have you seen it that there will be a $7,000-$8,000 premium on the RX450h? From what I have heard, it will be about $4-5K premium.

Yes, they have but I really don't care as I don't live in a country without an autobahn. I don't expect my car to handle like a German car. I want dependability and customer service. A little better fuel mileage would be nice.
