Into The Wild

While in Newberg, Oregon a few weeks ago to test drive the new 2013 Lexus ES, I managed to score a quick run with the RX 350 F SPORT.

While it retains the same V6 engine and 270 horsepower, the RX F SPORT is equipped with an impressive eight-speed transmission complete with paddle-shifters—other modifications include an F SPORT-tuned suspension, 19-inch Dark Graphite-finished wheels[1], and some cosmetic exterior upgrades like the mesh grille.

Even with my limited time in the driver’s seat, I was very impressed with the F SPORT upgrades—the suspension is firm but not jarring, and paddling through the eight gears really brings out another side of the RX. Definitely worth checking out when it reaches dealerships.
