2010 Lexus RX350
2010 Lexus RX350 - Lexus Luxury Crossover SUV Review - Automobile Magazine
The new RX is an incredibly nice small luxury SUV.

Lexus does a superb job of designing steering wheels. The wood used on the RX350's wheel feels luxurious and gives the impression that the vehicle is very substantial and smooth. It feels as if it were taken out of an LS460 and all of the positive tactile sensations came along with it. It's a good thing the steering wheel itself feels so good, because not a lot of feedback makes its way from the wheels that touch the ground to the wheel in your hands.inline_mediumwraptextright26385031/reviews/editors_notebook/0909_2010_lexus_rx3500909_04_z+2010_lexus_rX350+front_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue
