2010 RX impressions after 2 weeks

Let me get this right? In order to post in this forum, I would have to agree that the RX trumps every competition. This is will be a very boring forum if all we hear is owner complimenting the RX, need I remind you that this is a Lexus form, not a Lexus fan club. Only allowing possible post seem a bit like communism if you ask me. I am glad you like your new RX, but sorry to burst your bubble, the RX is not perfect, nor does it trump all the competition.
I think you meant to say only allowing "positive" not "possible" posts seems a bit like communism. I don't know about you but I have seen plenty of negative posts about the new RX here. So, your statement seems out of line to me.

Cruiter, With statements like the one above it's hard to believe you are as old as you say you are. If my parent's or grandparents had hear such a statement come from me I would find myself in deep sh%# no matter my age. This is a prime example of bad taste.

from my point of view, you are the one who like to see Lexus RX 2010 fail after I read most of your posters in this website.

Hi Yanje! I was wondering where you were. Sorry, I still don't understand your words or logic. Try again.

BTW, I have visited the Luxury Lounge on another site recently, although I haven't posted there since way back when it was the HELM forums, glad to see it's gotten fairly civil and there's a healthier respect for everyone's choices.

I agree, and also think your point about both positive and negative posting in this forum is well-taken. Just as legitimate complaints are worthwhile to discuss, and debated.

. Some people on here seem to drive Lexus in order to make an impression instead of being a real automobile enthusiast. It's hard to believe just by complaining or seeing short coming of their cars that members are given a hard time. There are few posts on here addressing technical issues as there are posts from a cheerleader standpoint.

Well said DNC,
This forum as a whole is made up of owners who have a lot of good things to say about their RX and yet still have some complains. Then there are a few here who is drinking too much of that Lexus cool aid. It is fine to be a Lexus fan boy but please do not put down other people who are not a 100% satified with their RX. Comments such as " jealous of our cars " is simply childish. Some of the owners here have owned RX in the pass such as myself and a lot of members here that I know have owned much nicers cars than the RX350.

Cruiter did NOT say that you have to agree that the RX trumps all competition in order to post on this forum. He said that he is getting tired of "ridiculous" posts about the new RX. Everybody admits that the new RX is not perfect. What car is? In his opinion, the RX does beat the competition. I agree with that!
At least we can agree on one thing, the Red Sox and the Patriots rules

I think you missed the point entirely as you have in the past. It's OK for people to discuss their cars, pro and con, no problem. This is a forum for owners TO discuss them adhoc. The point is it's a new and very technically advanced car with a large list of new and innovative features. For an owner who drives it daily it's a good place to discuss the pros and cons and various ideas they have to make improvements or just give a
to having done something incredibly well. Because you have had a Lexus in the past but not this particular model does not qualify you to belittle the car. You can read and article or take a test drive and form a conclusion of sorts. But a person that doesn't own one or drive it on a regular basis can't possibly find as much fault as some have. Does that line describe you? If it doesn't then I humbly apologize for having misunderstood you.I'm not trying to start anything other than stand by my original observation that it's getting sort of old listening to negative rants from people that are not qualified by virtue of not owning one to make constant negative views of the car. I don't personally know you. But how would you feel if a neighbor of yours said something negative about the way you keep your yard and all of a sudden several other people (who have never seen your yard) began a rant forum about your yard. I imagine you'd get tired of it after a while. If I'm wrong, I'm sure you'll let me know.
Yes, I have pride. I own one, and like most I'm very happy with it. Would I like to see a few things different? Yep, I've talked about them. I've talked more tho about the things I like as well. It seems tho as far as ownership, you've moved on. I sincerely wish you have good luck with your new choice and find their forum to talk nice about it and trash ours from there. I guess I just can't figure out if you're so unhappy with the 2010 RX and have moved elsewhere why you keep coming back to rant. I guess that's about 'nuff said.

Come on Cruiter, when have I ever trash talk or be-little the RX. the worst thing I might have said that is the RX is not as sporty as the competition, which is true, but I have also acknowledge a lot of the good qualities about the RX as well.
You are forgetting, potential buyers come on these forums to research the pros and the cons about the RX. I am sure they would like to hear opinions from both side instead of just the happy owners like yourself.

G Man may not be a present RX owner, but how does owning one make us more qualified to take part in this discussion? In the words of Einstein, "What do fish know about the water in which they swim?"
Let's make room for everyone.

To add to that DNC, auto magazine or consumer report editors do not own the vehicle they test drive and yet a lot of potential buyers still value their opinion.
Being an owner actually makes your opinion less objective since you are bias in your view.

guys, we are waaaay off topic! we should be discussing the OP's impressions after 2 weeks of ownership.
but since we are currently discussing about lexus bashing, may i remind all members DaveGS4's sticky in the car chat forum which is applicable to all lexus forums here (including the 3rd gen RX), which i quote to remind you all (replace Car Chat with 3rd Gen RX):
please note the bolded sentences above. this is a lexus enthusiast site, and as such pro-lexus comments are expected. negative comments are welcome as long as it is constructive criticism and is helpful.
keep in mind the golden rule: treat others the way you wish to be treated yourself. if you got nothing good to say, don't say it. don't bish at people if you don't want bish thrown back at you. and sometimes it's not what you say, but how you say it (you can toss a verbal ball gently, or you could throw a fast and hard knuckle ball - receiver will catch the ball in both instances, but the latter will hurt more, alot more...i think you understand where i'm going with this).

A Request and Message to ALL Forum Members:
Over the last few months the moderator team has noticed an issue with the Car Chat forum.... while this forum has had a high volume of post activity, it is not experiencing a similar growth in community. What makes Club Lexus a special place is that our members nearly always are mature, we help each other out and work through our differences like adults. We forge friendships with those we've never met and those that we connect with at local CL meets.
We welcome all well-reasoned, factual discussion and comments that reflect your individual opinion. Lately, however there has been an increase in unprovoked personal attacks, rude comments and a general lack of respect for one another in the Car Chat forum. I will remind all members that Club Lexus is first and foremost a LEXUS forum and if your primary purpose here on CL is to constantly disparage the brand that draws our membership together we will ask you to leave our forum.
The attacks and insults will not continue. We will regain our sense of community in the Car Chat forum, starting now. If you want to post in order to simply flame, troll or bait other members into arguing, it's time for you to find another forum.

I have been a diehard Red Sox and Patriots fan for decades. I use to live in Brockton, MA many years ago. My father taught me when I was just a kid to hate the Yankees and love the Red Sox
.BTW, getting back on topic, encore888 agrees with me on my previous reply to you about your response to Cruiter.
