Great review. Really helped me decide to not purchase the new 23 lexus RX 350. My initial reaction was 4 cylinder? No way. My gut reaction matches what the reviewer verbalized. Toyota really blew this one. My past experience is 4 cylinders are noisy and trying to make up HP through turbo charging only complicates the system, add potential mechanical issue, and basically, beats the heck outa a small engine to make it perform. 67 years old here with some mechanical background (not that I could /or want to work on these spaceships LOL). My past life was product management so I can see where T engineers are coming from but they really should talk to folks like this reviewer. Sometimes "more" isn't better and he is spot on about the 4 cylinder not fitting with the goal of this vehicle. I'm now on the hunt for an earlier model (damn it) because I just hate the grill on the newer versions. Ironically enough it was the grill that drew me to look at the new 2023 while having service done a few days ago. Oh well maybe T will wise up but to change from the 4 cylinder at this point would have massive cost. I hope I don't have to start looking at the competition because quality, reliability, smooth ride, and comfort are what keep me sticking with T/L brand.
Thanks again for the review!!
