New Lexus RX 350
Love my new car - first time Lexus owner - previously loyal Toyota customer.
2009 RX 350 - Smokey Granite Mica with grey leather interior; nav system, etc. The nav system is amazing.
Still figuring out the IPOD interface; cable in glove box - another manual to read.

2009 Pebble Beach Edition, Truffle Mica. Never thought we would have a greyish car, but so tired of the standard colors - change the make and the colors stay the same. Plan on keeping it highly shined/waxed/polished to bring out the highlights of the mica. Ended up with just about all the options.
We had a 99 RX300 for 6 years and went to a Cadillac SRX with the ultra roof option - that is the moonroof that opens over the front and rear seats. Saw it at the annual car show and thought it was neat. SRX is a bigger, heavier car and the ultraview roof lived up to our expectations. But, it was on a 4 year lease and, with GM's problems, even though we might have gone for another SRX, we could not/did not.
Now that we are back to the Lexus, there is really no comparison. Still post - some - on the SRX forum, but the attitude there seems to be more convincing themselves the SRX is the best. Not so. The fit, finish, everything about the Lexus trumps the SRX!
Glad to be back.

Bought my wife a 2004 silver/black RX330 yesterday, and she loves it! Her previous SUV was a Grand Vitara so the RX seems a lot bigger to her. I guess this is because there's less rearward visibility in the RX, and the black interior makes the inside appear larger too.
We drove several RX's before getting this immaculate one at 37,000km (23,000 miles), and it drove better than the rest. One careful owner, low mileage, matched tires (one had different brands front and rear!)... makes a difference.
It has rear sensors and power tailgate, but no swivel lights, moon roof, nav or camera.
I use it as a rain car since my other Lexus takes too long to clean when I drive in the wet, and the memory settings are ideal for our different seating positions.
I like the RX too, but I think it's really a woman's drive - though we saw 3 of them over the last week on the roads and they were all driven by men. Initially I felt it had a 'econovan' feel to it with the pedals being very upright, but it drives nicely now that I'm more used to the position!

2009 Pebble Beach + Nav
Truffle Mica. Replacing a Toyota car. Would have installed mud guards.
So far love it. Although 2010 model looks better for the center panel.

2009 Lexus RX350
Black with tan interior, 2WD, Navigation (5th generation), 10 miles when purchased, now has 305 miles... Love the car but can't seem to pair my bluetooth phone to the system. Our previous vehicle was a 2004 Toyota Camry LE and before that was a 1993 Lexus es300...(100,000 mi 3 engines)...
Anyway I lost all my photos but I will be sure to post some new ones. 2 things I regret are not getting the Pebble Beach Edition, and not getting the 2010 model year.

I got a 09 RX 350 in Jan. It's black, with light tan interior. Has the bluetooth/nav system. It is our first Lexus (had been Subaru owners). Was a service loaner with 9.5 k miles on it. Felt we got a great deal. Just had our Sirius radio integrated into the radio/nav system. We love the car and looking forward to a cross country road trip this summer to visit our daughter in OR.
Glad ot be a member here.
