rearview mirror
does anyone know why all the sticker prices have the rear view mirror as a line item when it is supposed to be included in the comfort package which is included in the premium package. it also stats the mirror is standard on all models? they are pricing it as an additional 125.00.

Can anyone explain to us what's going on as it's confusing at this point with the extra charge ?

I was able to test drive the NX200T last month on snow/ice and compared it to the BMW X3 and my current Volvo XC60...to be honest, both European models performed better on the AWD in terms of grip despite on all season tires and the traction and stability controls didn't come on as often as the NX which became annoying...not saying that the AWD system of the NX is bad but the other 2 were better and felt more solid and planted. The only advantage I would say the NX has was the torque diff lock where you press the button on the dash to lock all 4 wheels with 50/50 power split front-rear under 40kph which the other 2 didn't have but then again I've never gotten stuck with my XC60 the last 5 yrs even in deep snow...

jum3, for the majority of non-offroad driving conditions in winter city driving, real-world differences among systems are negligible with like tires.
Only once the wife got stuck with the RX (similar Active Torque AWD like the NX, RAV4, and Venza) on stock Michelins when she went off the road late last year in about 7-8" deep soft snow/mud. Needless to say, when I arrived, I hit the 4-wheel lock button, rocked the RX a couple times and got out.

The official pricing seemed to be misleading, to me at least.
Doing the math it was starting at ~$34,500. and then you add premium and navigation (which were my preferred add-ons). I guessed it'd be around close to $40,000 with those two options before taxes.
However when I paid my dealer a visit last week, that exact combo starts upwards of $43k. and thats before taxes. I'm a bit confused.

I busted my A$$ and walked away paying (after tax and fees) for 43,831
and I got them to throw in for free Paint Protection Film Pkg and the dealers "ultimate protection warranty. Most dealers wouldn't even talk to me even when I presented a written quote for such a discount. I heard, "we cant compete" a lot!!

I have the very same question. I just ordered the 300h and I saw they were charging me the 125.00 for the electrochromic rear view mirror with homelink.. As I'm getting the LUXURY PACKAGE, I thought the PREMIUM and COMFORT PACKAGES were included in that option. The mirror with homelink is included in the COMFORT PACKAGE.
Can anyone explain to us what's going on as it's confusing at this point with the extra charge ?

Quick question re the luxury package in the US.
I am getting close to a purchasing decision and saw this for the first time on the Lexus website during a build:
Front-seat power cushion extenders
Can anyone elaborate on this in the U.S. models with the Luxury package? maybe a pic of the bottom part of the seat? We test drove a non-lux so I didn't have a chance to test this out. I would be very interested in seeing this as my biggest complaint when driving my wife's RX is the short thigh support.
Thanks in advance!
