A fitness instructor’s passionate defense of her Lexus RX 350 has resonated with many online, leading to a viral moment on TikTok.
The woman, identified as 60-year-old @tall_lioness64, shared her reaction to an acquaintance’s comment that her luxury SUV was “just a glorified Toyota.” The post has garnered over 16,000 likes at the time of writing.
During a recent encounter, the instructor, fresh from teaching a back-to-back class, was headed to lunch when she crossed paths with a “friend of a friend, of a friend.” The acquaintance made the comment as the instructor was returning to her car.
“But the other lady said that her Lexus ‘ain’t nothing but a glorified Toyota,’” she recounted in her TikTok video.
The woman’s response highlighted the value she finds in her RX 350. She purchased the 2021 model during the pandemic, citing three key reasons:
- Zero percent interest financing for four years.
- The desire for a vehicle that would last for many years.
- The need for a spacious vehicle that could accommodate her needs
The instructor also mentioned she is close to paying off the car in full, with only 12 months remaining.
It is clear that the influencer took offense to the comment, noting that the RX 350 is one of the best Lexus vehicles currently on sale. The incident underscores the fact that personal car preferences and choices are subjective, and it is important not to judge others based on their vehicle.
