And now I find myself looking for Jaguars again... :/
They make Jaguar SUVs?

kickin8 I love that combo! Nice find

I don't really need a SUV... SUV is OK, but it's something I can live without

LOL. This reminds me of those games in kid's books where you have two seemingly identical pictures and need to find 10 things that are different.

Well thank everyone for you help. I was able to find a CPO 2008 RX400h w/ 15,000 miles in Richmond. Flint Mica exterior w/ gray leather and the black wood.

Wow! Nice man!

I was gonna post earlier, but another option would've been to get silver vinyl and do that over the wood trim pieces for a more sporty look...

You can also have a body shop change the color of the wood in the Rx. That is what I am planning on doing in the next 3 months give or take. I hate the burlwood myself.

I will probably change it to black wood.

My wife wasn't a fan of the wood trim either. But she loved the interior of the Hybrid plus the fuel mileage since she was coming out of a Corolla.

Default No Wood

You can always get her the best RX made.

I tried for a year to find one in Florida. But no Silversports were around.

sorry to revive this thread again, Is there quite a few rx's that have the black wood? Mines do.... which i havent seen with the rx's that i've test drove before this one. Was this in some sort of sport package or special package? Exterior is white, but interior is all grey but with black wood trimmings everywhere. I just purchase an CPO 08 350. Can anyone comment?

I believe in 2008 and 2009 black maple wood become a option.
