Default 2009 Pebble Beach RX

Just picked up our 2009 RX 350 in Truffle Mica. It's a Pebble Beach Edition the new color is awesome under the sunlight. The new wheels are a nice touch as well. Only got 45 miles on it so far but love it...

I saw the Pebble Beach Edition in the showroom the other day. It was Truffle Mica with Tan interior. The Truffle Mica was really beautiful, it has a brownish tone to it. (Thats why Truffle Mica is only offered with the Tan interior). Whats also nice about the Pebble beach Interior, is that the Tan interior comes with the brown walnut wood, while in the standard RX, the tan interior only comes with the light golden bird's-eye maple.

As far as 2008 RX vs 2009, the ONLY difference is the option of the Pebble Beach edition, and some different color choices. Otherwise they are IDENTICAL.

Bought my 2008 RX350 AWD Millennium Silver with Gray Leather interior a month ago. Premium Plus pkg, 7 Spoke Liquid Graphite wheels, towing pkg, Heated seats and rain sensor wipers, Cargo Mat, locking lug nuts. Just a beautiful vehicle. I have about 420 miles on it so far

Previous vehicle was a 1992 Ford Explorer that I bought new.

This is the 3'rd Lexus I have bought new. My wife drives a 2005 ES330.

I purchased my 08 RX350 in October. Black exterior, light gray interior. Premium Plus Package, Nav. 18 inch liquid graphite wheels, ipod kit, trailer package with hitch, cargo net, all season mats. The car has 2653 miles on it and I hate it more each day, (Yes, I hate it). I traded a BMW Z3 3.0. My other cars are Benz, Jaguar and GMC Yukon XL. I added additional sound insulation in the hatch floor, quarter panels and two layers in the doors to give it the German heavy door thunk, but I still hate it. The resale value is poor, I attempted to trade for a GS350 AWD and/or MB ML350 but the loss was huge!!!!!
