Attempted Theft of my RX450h 2020

[Osprey]

I came back to the forum as I am having a RX itch as it's a couple of years now since I decided not to go down the RX route. I was almost certain in my mind that the RX was next, but having read this I am back to the drawing board.

Absolutely feel for you owners who have been loyal to a brand that was seamless in it's time, only now to be hit with the uncertainty and worry of the theft of your cars, plus the added cost of insurance.

As much as I like the shape of a RR, I would never take that route as they have a reliability reputation and recently worrying theft stats. I know Lexus will rarely be on the unreliability chart, however, the added cost of insurance and theft of this once fab vehicle is steering me to another manufacturer.  

Gutted!!

There are some attractive deals on the Gen5 RX350h/450h+ which are not affected by the canbus theft issues. I went from a NX450h+ to the RX450h+ expecting that running costs would be higher but amazingly the RX is proving to be more economical!

Gen 5 may not be affected by canbus issues ... yet but what have they skimped on this time and would I trust them, especially after how I feel they have poorly managed this issue.
