The 2010 Lexus RX is new, and it s impressive.  The exterior design does not change enough to make you ask what the vehicle is, but the RX has evolved into a smoother, swankier stance.  I decided I better get out and drive one of these now that the weather was getting warmer.  Of course, the RX is a pretty ideal luxury vehicle for winter conditions, but I am not an ideal person for winter conditions.  In fact, in the winter I take several minutes to warm up and frequently refuse to start in the mornings.


My Peoria luxury car ride started off great thanks to temperatures in the 50s, however.  I couldn t notice much difference in the engine performance after leaving the Champaign Lexus dealer.  Basically, Lexus gave the engine a bit more power on the RX 350 I was driving, but it also gained a little weight since last year (I can relate.), so performance is just about identical.  And that s not a bad thing.  I m still impressed by the acceleration and engine noise.


I didn t notice this myself, but as the video below informed me, the rear window wiper is now hidden out of view.  I love that, because I ve always hated the way rear wipers look.  The video is a great, comprehensive overview of the RX 350, accompanied by the echelon of musical genius my brother produced with his synthesizer in high school.
