Review – 2010 Lexus RX350 and RX450h Hybrid
BY STEVE SILER
It can easily be argued that companies that play it safe probably have the greatest chances of surviving the malaise currently afflicting the automotive industry. And it can be argued that Toyota Motor Corporation and its Lexus luxury subsidiary have played the game as safely as any company in the world. Case in point: the Lexus RX, both the bestselling luxury crossover and the bestselling of all Lexus models. It’s a cash cow for the brand and when time comes to redo it, Lexus knows not to mess with a good thing.
So it’s no surprise that the third-generation RX350 and its hybrid sibling are largely the same as they’ve always been—pleasant, inoffensive, two veritable shades of beige—despite being completely redesigned.
Evolving Little is Evolving Intelligently
Enthusiasts and journalists have been largely ambivalent toward the RX’s styling, but customers clearly see the crossover as a thing of beauty, or at least something beautiful enough to part with at least 38 grand, plus options. (Pricing for the new model had not been released at the time of this writing.) So it seems wise to adhere to the design vocabulary that has worked so well for the RX in the past, including its long beak, clean-shaven chin, bubbled hatch, hunched roofline, and awkward-looking wheelbase.
