OP, I still drive an original RX300 and it's served me well all this time. It's a Lexus, and the reliability has been great. When doing my research for a new vehicle I test drove the 2011 RX350 and 450h. It's what I expected from Lexus, very plush, very well built, but as others have said compared to the X3 it's not a drivers vehicle. Though much more peppy then my 1999 the X3 handles much differently, as you can imagine. For me, the handling and the size is what turned me to the X3. The X3 is much closer to the dimensions of my RX300. Although I don't have the specs in front of me I'd say the RX350 is better compared to the X5 size wise and I'm not looking for a vehicle that big. The Lexus is still going strong and is allowing me to wait on the N20 to come out before I jump to my first BMW.
