Is the NEW 2023 Lexus RX 350 F Sport a luxury SUV worth the PRICE?

FIRST DRIVE: The RX is getting some big changes from Lexus for 2023. Under the hood is a 2.4L turbocharged inline-4 that produces 275HP & is mated to an 8-speed automatic. On the outside of the F Sport you will find a unique grill, 20in wheels, and LED lighting. On the inside you will be greeted by an all new infotainment system, leather seating and digital gauge display. Is the NEW 2023 Lexus RX 350 F Sport a luxury SUV worth the PRICE?

Joe, a Great Wake Up Call. Nice Car. This is Not a 3 Row SUV, Thank God. I'm not sure if I'm sold on the new Touch Screen. There should be some Buttons for easy control. I'm sure many of the functions can be controlled by Steering wheel controls. However, it is a nice large screen that is Touch Screen with No Piano Black. I have a 22 Acura MDx Advance since August 2021. The MDX has Acura's Touch Pad which after 1 year still annoys me, despite going thru the Learning Curve. I wonder your thoughts of the 2022 MDX Type S Advance vs. this Lexus vs the 2023 RDX Advance. If Acura had made their TTIP InfoT system a touch screen, the debate would be over. Even Better, Acuar should make it BOTH: Touch Pad and TouchScreen.
