I for one can easily tell the difference, with the rounded fog lights and the RX 400h title. But it seems that its a common complaint that the Lexus hybrid might need more distinctive looks (well who cares once you're inside and see that power flow monitor).

From: Toyota Rethinks Hybrid Strategy

What kind of different items could be added to make future Lexus hybrids look cooler? And, perhaps some tags, accessories to jazz up the current RX 400h?

I note that the first Toyota Prius had Hybrid titles, but the second gen Prius has smaller hybrid titles.

I don't know that the RX400h needs to be more distinctive than it's very successful relative. On the other hand, it would be nice if it was easier to pick out from the RX330 on the road. I'm just curious how popular they are at this point.

I didn't catch the fact that the fog lights are round... that helps. There's a little bit more grille in the front bumper, too. I've been watching for the wheels, which are somewhat different than the factory offerings on the 330. The "RX 400h" badge is too small to differentiate from "RX 330" at a distance.

I too would like to see the 400h more distinguishable from the RX330. I live in a small town in Texas. Every time I turn around, I see two or three 330s wherever I go. It's like every soccer mom and grandmother owns one. No offense to 330 owners!!
A couple of weeks ago, I was in Dallas, TX in an affluent area. Every other vehicle was an RX330. It was amazing.

The Ford Escape has a "Green" badge on its side doors. Maybe Lexus should come out with something distinctive (and similar) that can be added for those who already have an RX 400h!

Up here pretty much everyone drives the RX330 Premium Package. Its fairly rare for us to see another "Sport Package" like mine or Hybrid like my mothers.

I think a little Hybrid badge like on the Toyota Prius would be good. Don't want to make it stand out TOO much, but a little more than the 330 would be a good thing. Of course, you can always go to Toyota yourself and order the badge if its that important to you.

they could probably do something like the sport design, but a hybrid design

Does anyone remember when Lexus showed the concept RX hybrid in 2003 and it was a slightly more aggressive look? I'm surprised they didn't go with that look when the RX400h was introduced. Looks good yet distinct from the regular RX330 IMO.

Hmm, I don't remember see it before, I like that attached sketch

I think a two-tone paint job may make RX400h stand out from the RX300 crowd. Just my 2 cents.

Some "greenie" badges on front doors wouldn't hurt either.

well like on the thundercloud edition, make that grill come on the 400h and maybe the roof rack, make it alluninum silver. something like that with stand out, especially on a black one, and make some bolder wheels like the 18 5 spoke ones on the LS 430, those would look good on any RX
