Why Driving the Lexus RX350 is Better Than Six Flags
Of all the high-end cars on the road, Lexuses are probably the most demure, unexciting looking ones. Unlike their German counterparts, they aren’t flashy and aren’t nearly as head turning… in fact, we might go so far as to say they’re a little bit boring. However, the guys at Asylum test drove the new Lexus RX350, and judging by their review, it is beyond badass.
1. a Heads Up Display
In case you’ve ever wanted to pretend you were a fighter pilot in the movie Independence Day, the new Lexus comes with a Heads Up Display: your speed and other factors projected on your windshield in bright LED lights, making the driver’s seat feel like a genuine Air Force cockpit. Now all you need is a helmet, goggles, and a giant alien mothership.
2. Ventilated Seats
Ever see those sweaty, balding lawyers pulling up in their fancy cars and wondering how awful their leather interior must smell? Well, they’re in luck cause the new RX350 has some super ventilated seats, keeping the passengers dry and comfortable even on the most humid of Florida days.
3. 6-Speed Transmission with Toggle
Another childhood dream realized- NASCAR is now at your fingertips… you can go from driving automatic to a manual transmission with a flick of the wrist, without worrying you’re going to burn out your clutch. As a person who’s car frequently smells of destroyed clutch and burning rubber, I’ll tell you that is a sweet feature.
4. Voice-Activated Controls, That Actually Work
Remember the time you were driving around with your boys, shouted “Jay-Z” to show off your awesome voice-command controls, and on came the opening musical number from Cats? Remember the crippling shame? Well, gone are those days, with the Lexus’ flawless voice activated controls. Asylum claims that even with a thick Scottish accent you can get the system to recognize anything you say. Also, take that Cats album off your iPod.
5. Pre-Collision Warning System
We had to throw in at least one safety feature, right? Well, the Lexus has got a sweet one- whenever the car senses that you’re about to get in a collision, it tightens the seat belts and primes the brakes for the accident. What’s the sweet part, you ask? It uses radar technology to do this. You’re practically driving a submarine, which is totally awesome.
