Idk if thats a good thing. The Lexus mouse isn’t exactly an improvement on anything at all. I need to check one of these out in person.
The mouse takes some getting used to but it isn't terribad.

Personal issues. I understand it would fit his needs perfectly, just like the hundreds of thousands of women who keep it at the top of the sales charts. It's up there with the Cross-Tranny on my disdain list. But at least its got power.

We tend to align on car tastes frequently (as we own two of the same vehicles basically). But I am 100% with you... RX is absolutely :disgust: GS/GX are decent.

RX is 100% an Asian mom wagon.
