Azari,

Can I ask why you are asking for this information for every model in our forums?

depends on what gear your in

Engine size and year may make a difference.
Also out side temp can be a big factor.
I'll look closer next time and jot it down.

DaveGS4,
you sure may. I'm just trying to make a comparison of the RPM's at those speeds between cars within the Lexus company and those of different brands. I personally don't like cars that rev up high once you hit the highway. It feels to me like the engine is killing itself just to get you moving which I hate. I like RPM's to be as low as possible when you're in the last gear in highway speeds. Now, what i've been beginning to notice is that Lexus cars have low RPM's at those speeds, which is a good thing. I just wanted to verify that. For example, my dad's '94 Honda accord does 70 at 3000+ RPM. My mom's 2000 camry does it at a considerably lower RPM. So, I don't know if it's just a Toyota/Lexus thing, or only certain models in the line-up have low RPM's at those speeds. My '91 LS400 does 60 at 2000 RPM and 70 at 2300 RPM, and I just love it
