Thanks Jim, and Jim...

It's the ghastly names that manufacturers think their customers in the US want ... and the Lexus RX300 looks pretty awful as well. Of course, now I have swapped my ML270 for a little diesel estate I can afford to be snooty ;-)

Well, to my eyes the Pacifica looks a lot like the old Vista Cruiser
stationwagons I learned to drive on... but mention that the fancy-dan SUV's like the lexus RX-330, Pacifica, Infniti FX-45 and the BMW X-5 look like nothing so much as a high-suspension stationwagon and you will disappoint most of the buyers. Sure they're practical, and certainly four-wheel drive, even without a center differential and locking diffs is handy in wintery
weather zones. But I still think they look like stationwagons.
