New Cuv's Sales Figures

[pj8708]

Fifteen CUVs, including the RX350, are listed showing their percent of sales numbers plus or minus based on August 2010, to August 2011 sales information. The RX350 shows a 20% decline! Does this mean its time for a new RX??

Fuel efficiency is increasingly important maybe...

Also the economy is tanking further, more job loss.

I'm not surprised at all. When the 99 RX300 came out, it was completely unique- there wasn't anything else like it on the road. And when it was re-designed as the 04 Rx330/350, it was still one of the best.

But to be honest, i don't find any qualities of the 2010+ RX to be "unique". It's not much to look it, the technology is behind that of the X5 or M-class (not even considering the 2012 which is INCREDIBLE), and the performance isn't spectacular either.

That, combined with the economy is enough reason to pass on the current RX.

Compact crossover/SUV's is the growth segment today in 2014.
