Everything above you listed is optional. What about the standard equipment?

This is weird. I didn't really pay attention to this rail thing, but I used to remember I haven't seen any RX10 without the rail.
My Lexus RX brochure lists "roof rails" as the standard luxury features, PAGE 46. But, this rail item isn't shown on my window sticker and the dealer's car report.

The dealer gave me no discount.
He was so dishonest, or rather his firm Autonation is so dishonest, they tried to charge me sales tax on value of my trade in. My wife had to throw a screaming fit to get that removed. I'm filing charges witht he state of Florida for an attempt to illegally collect sales tax.
I'm a Costco member and he is a Costco dealer but I got no Costco discount. I'll complain to Costco.
It was his first one. A second one is due in a day or two. Another dealer contacted me today with another one.
The interior is grey.

The interior is the immaculate conception. The exterior is almost as stunning. Bentley has been shamed. Rolls Royce has been shown up for the sham they are. When I ordered this vehicle I had no idea what I was getting into. I traded a 2008 RX400h thinking I was getting a very similar but updated vehicle. I did not expect a flawless interior that should be in the Guggenheim Museum. Little did I know it was a looker. It was like picking up what I thought was a dowry girl and undressing her only to fine excitement beyond belief. i'm driving Zeus' chariot.

I love the car. It far exceeds my expectations. I was expecting a reworked 2008 400h but got far more. It is indeed a Chariot of the Gods.
I did not order my vehicle. I took the first one off the boat. The interior is the standard light grey. All the light grey interiors look like mine. I received a spec sheet on the vehicle June 9 and took delivery June 17.
I first saw the 2010 RX 450h & 350 test mules in Miami in January. I was not allowed to drive them but was allowed to sit in them and operate the controls, play the radio, test the navigation system, adjust seats & mirrors, open the doors, open the hood, open the boot, and do whatever as long as the vehicle did not move. I was able to talk with and discuss the vehicles with people from Lexus. There were no time constraints. Any doubt I had about buying was removed at that point. The finished vehicle is not anything like the test mules. It is like comparing a Rolls to a Chevy. There have been major improvements in the past 5 months.

Mine came without rails. There is a plastic piece on either side running from front to back in the rail slot with a front and back plastic piece that could be removed to attach rails.
