Default 2013 RX350 vs 2011 RX450h

Since my 450 is in the shop again, I was given a new 350 to drive around. With the new design in 2013, I was expecting a lot from the car. Here are a few things that caught my eyes on the new car

#1 Love the new grill, the LED strip is sexy and same with the front bumper.
#2 Love the automatic retractable mirror (I think this was available on the older car in certain packages)
#3 Being able to lock doors while the rear hatch is retracting is nice
#4 The 19" gun-metal wheels look great
#5 Love the steering wheel and love the redesigned center console
#6 Steering is more precise than mine, but it could be because of the 350 vs 450h.

Other than those things, I thought both cars were virtually the same and I honestly didn't feel much difference between them.

Good to hear some thoughts. Im guessing you drove the RX350 F Sport? In that case, the steering is definately more precise and handling is better. Its a shame you dont get the 450h F Sport because that is the real deal! Feels much weightier and stronger than in the RX350 F Sport.
