This is truly a luxury full-size SUV. My drives took me all over the Washington DC metropolitan area, including I-66, I-495, and all the way west on I-270 to I-70 toward the Appalachian hills in Hagerstown, to I-81 in the northeastern part of West Virginia, and through northern Virginia to McLean, Vienna, and Fairfax. I also drove through the city of DC, celebrating my birthday week as a true Scorpio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_7133-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_7133-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_7133-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_7133-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_7133-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_7133-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_7133-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I had a chance to drive my mother in the CX-90, and it was truly a fabulous experience.
