Anyone tell me is that true? How many males bought and drove RX350 at this forum?

I bought a 400h for my wife

But I drive it and its a fun car not to mention better MPG then our Lancruiser

last time I checked all my bits indicated I was a man and I bought one

I know quite a few RX drivers and none of them are men. None of the ES drivers I know are men either. Maybe all that proves is that I really, really like women.

lol yeah i bought the car for my wife...but i drive it as often as possible. lol

great car. its a soccer mom car which is why more women buy it. Ive never heard of a soccer dad car.

I am a man and just purchased an RX350 . My wife really likes the car but prefers her 05 Odyssey for carting the kids around.

My wife's family (2 brothers-in-law and 1 sister-in-law) already purchased RX330s or 350s before I bought mine.

I was considering either this car or a BMW 530i. The RX won out because I fly RC helicopters & planes and the BMW's trunk was not big enough.

I traded my manly car in so we could both drive the RX. Even though it's black, it still "feels" like a feminine car.

Given that women live longer and for numerous other reasons thereby control 70% of the funds available in the US......

Of course...!

I've had my black RX350 for a year now. Thought I'd made a mistake buying it. My other car is a 96 SC300. But needed the room for grandbabies.

Getting used to it, plus the battery is dead in my SC replaced a alternator fuse and now it won't start. Back to the RX the only thing I don't like is the gears shifting are very noticable while driving.

Bought the rx for my wife....

I bought mine for my wife!
Every girl at our country club has one....

I purchased mine 08 350 this year and, although I had reservations for the same reasons as you may be having, I love it. I think with the new liquid graphite 7 spoke rims and the complete tow package, I can feel pretty comfortable with my man hood. My wife already wants a Lexus as well, but she will opt for the ES. It may not be the manliest vehicle but, for a family man such as myself, with its saftey, comfort, and decent amount of power I am extremely happy with my purchase. I drove a number of other luxury vehicles in it's field and this was a definite winner.

Happy holidays,

When I bought my '08 RX 350 AWD two to three months ago I was aware of the fact that many owners of this car were women. However, if you're careful with the exterior/interior colors, it's definitely a man's car.

I highly suggest you go with a dark exterior (Flint Mica or Black) with a dark interior (Black Leather with Dark Brown Wood Trim). I have gotten so many compliments from many of my male friends. Once my friends took a ride with me, and listened to that more than capable base premium audio (sounds very powerful once you tweak the settings), they shut the hell up.

Just a myth like the whoop de do Suburu is a Lizzy car lol.

I am a woman and currently drive a Yukon Denali, which is a man truck, with loads of power at the foot. Driving a 6.0L, at 12 MPG, I'm ready to drive something with better fuel mileage. The only other SUV that gets some power under the pedal with the air suspension feel, in an Int'l market is the X5 and the Lexus RX 400H. Considering the other options available with the Lexus, it appears to be a better buy, with much better reliability than the BMWs. I am married, and I'm an athletic trainer, so I need the cargo space. My husband drives a GMC pickup, but doesn't like to drive when he's not working, so I chaffeur him around. Sadly, his preference of vehicle is the Buick Enclave, but I refuse to drive something that looks like a minivan. Therefore, he will buy me what I want, and in return, I'll drive him around.

We bought our '07 RX 350 for my wife. But she much prefers to drive my Acura TL. So I get "stuck" with the RX. Oh, the pain, the agony Actually, I do appreciate the chair-high seats for my bum hip (crawling down into the TL hurts!). My wife must have known that she would want to drive the TL (these women!) so she made sure we got a black one so it would be a little more "manly". The extra window tint helps shield my gender, at least until I start to drive it like my TL, then other drivers know the truth.

Besides, I still like to impress my friends with the power tailgate. ("You didn't expect me to shut it by hand, did you?") And the niftiest feature of all is the coffee cup holder just left of the steering wheel - I've suffered far fewer coffee burns by not having to lift my coffee out of the center console.

Maybe I'll "make" her drive the RX when the next generation Acura TL comes out.

The RX series always has been and always will be a chick car....

It's one-third of what is known in the business as "The Girlie Trifecta", which consists of the Mazda Miata, the Lexus RX, and the sissiest car on the planet - the VW Cabriolet Convertible....

If you're a guy and you happen to own all three at the same time, rumor has it that you get two lifetime passes to "Cats" on Broadway, a week of cooking lessons in your home from Rachael Ray, and a 20-year free subscription to Oprah magazine....

My wife love's her's. WE had an '07 RX350 and just traded it for an '09 just like the other one. I was happy with the trade too which is unusual.

LOL! I'm a guy, and based on that I'm glad that I only own one third of the 'trifecta'.., because I definitely could not deal with the consequences of owning all three!!

Occasionally, I get to lay my hands on my beloved's RX 350. I get to wash it, take it in for service and the like. But at the end of the day, she's laid claim to it. Oh well... Money well spent in my opinion.

I got my wife the RX350 because most of her "Tennis Buds" have one. It's Flint Mica (so that's a manly color) but the interior is light grey (which makes it more girly). I only drive it when she is in the car with me--the License Plate is LT KNTR (Lake Tahoe Knitter), so when I drive and she knits, I make her hold her knitting up high so other drivers can see it's not me! :-}

Thats nothing, my fiance has a light green Prius with "FUZZLE" as the license plate. Now thats manly when I drive it haha.

Is she an Al Gore fan?

I did see a statistic once that over 60% of the RX350 drivers were women, over 40 years of age.

But 55% of all new car buyers are woman also. And the top selections by women are the Toyota Rav 4, the Toyota Solara, Mazda Miata, and the Honda CRV all with 75% or better women buying ratios. I didn't see the RX on that list, but I also didn't see any "luxury" class cars on it. So it may have omitted that class completely.

I am a man and I bought a 2009 RX350. I had the same issue that all the RX's I saw were driven by wemen. But I found there was a limited selection if you are looking for a SUV that can pull a sail boat and get decent milage. By putting a tailer hitch on the back I made it a guys vehicle. Bottom line, who cares if it is fun to drive, comfortable, and looks great. (:-)

Not particularly no.

Now if you added one of those bull you-know-whats, dangling from the hitch that I've seen around town, that would complete the masculine make-over of your RX 350!

I just bought a 2008 RX-350 after I downsized from a Lincoln Aviator. There are three other RXs in my work parking lot and all of them are primary vehicles for men.

I bought one for the wife....fits her perfectly. I definately think they are a "chicks" car. Wouldn't fault a man for driving one though as they are a nice piece. Might be a good way to pick up chicks.

Are you talking about these?

Not for the easily offended...

I swear I would die laughing if I saw someone sporting these on a new RX400h!

Back on topic: I have owned 3 RXs; a 99, an 03 and now the wife has an 06 RX400h...they are a bit girly I guess.
I used to catch heat from the peer-group on my 2003, but when it came to choose a car to go to lunch in, it was always the first choice.
I fight to drive the RX400, though. I swear it pulls like my old 1995 M3 used to do. Fun!

I bought the 09 Pebble Beach for my wife and MYSELF.

Just because a car has refined lines it means its a purse car?

BTW, went to the gym today and did leg presses - 360 x 10, 450 x 10, 540 x 10, 550 x 5

OK, so what.

Just I am not some limp wrist.

The RX is just a very neat car.

Woman Car, Man car whatever its a great ride. I've got a 08 X5, and an 04 RX330, and I must say, that the RX is a great ride, sure the X5 has more pep, but the RX is no slouch, and yes I bought it my self prior to the X5, and now my wife and I enjoy both. I put it in the same category as the X5.

If you want to purchase one, purchase it based on the facts, its a great BANG for the BUCK!!!

My salesman told me 75% of RX buyers are women. I believe him.

I'd buy that too, its probably true of most of the luxury SUV buyers.

You got it!

i bought one and i am a man...but i did buy it or my wife.

I thought that RX was meant for men after seeing them drive around in Michigan, Ohio Regions. Leased an 2007 RX350 in Sept '06. After staying in West Coast (CA/OR) ever since now I regret that may be I made a mistake by leasing an RX with an intention to buy it out at the end of 4 yr lease. I only see Women driving it everywhere. I even think of returning the RX at times, but hate to see $20K go down the drain though I will be using it for 4 yrs.

Why does it matter?

I just don't get it, maybe I'm more secure in my masculinity than others but it just would never occur to me to get rid of a vehicle I like because I see women driving them more than men...

I mean, are you really that concerned people are going to think you're a woman? Do you look like a woman? I just don't get it...

I bought a 2008 RX350 CPO and it never dawned on me it was a girlie car...I needed to tow our seadoo and was tired of my old Jeep with its truck like suspension...Now I get to hit the boat ramp in style....maybe the hitch was the trick....

I guess your doo-diddley must be more than 3 inches long and you don't have to have a "man-car" to make people realize you are in fact male LOL

I bought the RX 350 for my wife. I drive a 2008 Corvette Z06. I have to admit, I enjoy driving the RX 350.

I brought one because wanted a smaller V6 lexus SUV. But if talking about the style I would have to say it lends more
toward a woman. But i dont care. the dang thing is comfortable to drive, good mileage, easy to park.

Than have a variety of vehicles a Vette for fun/speed, a focus to putter, a GMC to haul and the lexus for Trips

But is your one of those off Road Bubba types you know a Tim Taylor grunter, LOL I would look at something else

ok guys....I bought it for myself.

My wife drives the Genesis 4.6...1 mile to work and back everyday. (HOLY COW...WHAT A MACHINE!)

I drive the 400h...30 miles to work and back everyday.

I was worried about my ego there for a while...so I spent some money.

$250 hitch...Hey...love the SUV NUTS

$600 Nitto NT420s 255/55/18 tires. MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE in looks!

Put a nice little PING sticker on the rear glass. Yes, I golf...a lot!

However...if I were a single man I would have no problem picking up the ladies (the RIDE of course...not my looks...HA)!

When my wife rides with me she notices other women noticing and just STARES at me! What should I do? Well, I lean over and plant a whopper right on her cheek!

Definitely a WOMANS car...but you can turn it into a mans ride with a little cash and a ball bag hanging off the rear.

I can agree, the Rx is a chick magnet And there are a lot of ways to make it more "masculine"
