Why Not the 2008 Lexus RX?

Exterior styling

Some odd angles that will no doubt be smoothed off when the next generation RX comes out.

Fuel economy

Poor fuel economy compared to the 3 series sports sedan. Some people have quoted 26mpg - good for an SUV but not good in general terms.

Ride smoothness

Not the smoothest - again maybe OK for an SUV but for a luxury vehicle it trails other more luxurious makes such as Audi, BMW and MB. It is after all just a Toyota dressed up.

Dealer practices

Could not order the base vehicle, had to have leather even if I didn`t want it. Salesman was very keen to show how wonderful the facilities are but very little on the car. Of course this is to blind you that the car is essentially a Toyota with wood.

Discounts & incentives

Very poor leasing deals which imply poor residuals.

This review was originally a two-car comparison review. Read the other half here.
