He's complaining about the range of the vehicle. That's one tank. If he's driving from Nola to Dallas he is definitely filling up twice

I don't really see the issue. Not many vehicles are making it over 450 miles on one tank of gas. I don't count the initial fill up as filling up once. The way he worded it, it sounds to me that he has to at gas twice between wherever he is and Dallas.

If he means what you mean, it's a very odd complaint since most cars would have to do it.

It's a crossover. A modern minivan...

Exactly. It's a van.

OP said the Audi was rough...that's called handling...though I understand that's not why you buy a van.

It's a bit tacky- especially with the grill and wheel wells. There are too many random lines in the sheet metal, and all the stickers they use on the hybrid model makes it look even worse. Whatever they were trying to do to the greenhouse between the C and D pillar just doesn't work, and it seems like the front axle is pushed back too far (nearly underneath the dashboard) just like it is on the minivan and crossover Toyotas it's based on.

Really not my kind of car. I suppose in this day in age that they have to make their crossovers look like pissed off kitchen appliances to stand out.

It actually does remind me of a Pontiac Aztec in many ways, and that's not a good thing.

That said, it's a Toyota minivan. It will probably provide years of reasonable reliable service and end up being cheaper to own than at least some of its competitors.

Yeah, Price Leblanc only knocked off like $750, they said they can work with terms, but the price is the price basically.


Went through that shite with price Leblanc a few months ago, called a dealer in Houston and he beat their best deal by $4,000, drove over the next day and bought 2 of them

Writing that down.
Good idea. Will Do.
I was wondering if Price Leblanc was still doing that, I dealt with them 5 years ago, same story.

That is ugly. Would not drive it.

Yes. It´s brand new, and already aesthetically dated. Imagine what it will look like in a few years.

Toyota Highlander looks better and could've saved yourself 15K.

Glad your wife can post up pics of her new car and proclaim that she has the best husband on fb now.

A similarly equipped Highlander is over $40k. That RX didn't cost over $55k.

$48-52.5K at Price Leblanc(B.R), and thats not even the AWD models.

LINK

So lets say 50K+TTL, thats right at $55K.

Probably near identical 3.5L V6 engine with minor enhancements for a few extra HP to elevate the Lexus brand.
