Default New Changes in 2006 RX330

Well, boys, the new 2006 RX330 are in the store... well at least on the Lexus website.

Here are the changes I find so far...

Engine lose power from 230 horses to 223 horses see note 1

Torque decrease from 242 lb-ft to 238 lb-ft see note 1

6 disc autochanges becomes standard equipment.
Passenger side power seat now gets 10 ways from 8 ways.


on page 16 of the catalog it says
1. Ratings achieved using the required premium unleaded gasoline with an octane rating or 91 of higher. If premium fuel is not used, engine performance and fuel economy will decrease.

So it means if we use regular gas the performance would be even lower?

Anyone see other changes to the 2006 model?

this is absolutly the same engine, just tested with new SAE procedure, so engine is the same as in 2005 RX.
