Thoughts on Lexus suv? Dh hates it but I kind of like it

[Anonymous]

Dh says this car is tacky and cringe. I’m not sure I see it but happy to be proved wrong! We need an suv to replace current Jeep Grand Cherokee

Don’t get a car your husband thinks is tacky and cringe. I personally think it’s kind of pedestrian. Might as well get an explorer.

It’s kind of an old person car - retirement communities are filled with them! They run forever though, and are very comfortable. I love mine (DH hates it). Not the best for super tall people.

Who drives it the most? If this will be your primary car and DH drives another one, you get to decide if price is not an issue.

It's like the Lincoln of our parents generation.

This is kind of true. My 77 year old aunt drives one.

They are super reliable and comfortable, but boring. Not cringe - that would be like a Maserati or something.

My husband has one and at first was like this car is so boring, but we bought it for the reliability. Now he totally loves it.

Can a Lexus rx replace a jeep grand cherokee? Isn’t the Lexus much smaller? We had a Lexus rx hybrid way back in 2006/7. It was great! Perfect city car.

I loved driving it, but wasn’t a huge fan of its exterior styling. The backseat also felt cramped to me. Otherwise I really loved the front and how it drove! Not sure why your husband thinks it’s tacky. lol!

There is nothing "tacky" about any new, unmodified, car.

The RX is fine but a bit expensive for what you get - several competitors offer similar features, capabilities, and performance for less. The Lexus brand has some cachet, and pricing reflects that as compared to products from their parent company Toyota, and other more "mainstream" brands.

The Lexus value proposition is comfort and reliability, not performance. If you would favor performance (e.g., acceleration, cornering, braking) with reliability, and ride quality is less of a priority, consider one of the BMW X3 models. The X3M offers performance equal to or superior to many pure sports cars, with the utility of a smaller SUV. Lower trim models cost less but still perform is a sporty manner.

An up-and-coming brand targeting the Lexus buyer demographic is Genesis. You might want to take a look at a Genesis GV 60 or GV 70.

It’s reliable. But I hope you aren’t driving it to impress anyone. Because nobody will truly care, they’re a dime a dozen.

The vast majority of people don't care about cars, period. Most people don't give a crap if you're driving a Porsche or a Scion. The only thing eyebrow raising is how much more money the Porsche owner has available to waste on a car. All cars are money losing, money wastes.
