The Mercury Mariner is a entry level luxury CUV, same with the RX300. Neither one of them are sporty. The RX300 is as far from sporty as you can get. It rides very smooth though.[/quote]
But the Mercury was worse than a Civic and worse than even the Chevy HHR. No SUV is truly “sporty” due to the weight and higher center of gravity, but I’m talking relative to other vehicles in their type/size class. I wouldn’t have expected a 5 year older Lexus to be a lot better than a newer Mercury.

Exactly. Ford is actually coming out with some good things, like the Fusion Hybrid. But people still rail on hybrid vehicles too, just because it doesn’t match their requirements. But I don’t tell those people to look at hybrids. I don’t care what other people do.
