It's funny that people always say only women drive RXs (yes, I agree more women than men), but here in So Cal...I see predominantly soccer moms scooting about town in their X5s. I would say more women drive X5s then men. And yes, my GL is a chick car too!!!!

I agree. Nowadays SUV's in general are a families alternative to minivans. (I'm in this category). And typically there are more stay at home moms than stay at home dads, thus the moms would typically use the car more to pick up the kids.

At the end of the day, you buy a BMW if you are into prestige and performance/handling, Mercedes if you are into pertige and comfort and a Lexus if you are into comfort and practicality/value. How many times I've been at the gas station or dealership thinking "The money I could have saved if I just drove a RX", but then am comforted when I'm taking that curvy freeway on-ramp and thinking "RX could never do it like this"
