It’s definitely a driving life here in Los Angeles, and as a result, I spend a lot of time sitting in my rental car, staring at the backsides of other people’s automobiles. I’ve almost never been the sort to notice one car over another, but in the past few days I’ve been struck by how many Lexus RX 300s there are out on the Southern Californian roads. And also by how attractive — in a suburban kind of way — they are too. If I had to haul a kid to and from soccer practice, or even drive a date to the Olive Garden, well I guess I’d want to do so in an RX 300.
