First post here. Looks like a great place!

We picked up a Bamboo Pearl with Ivory interior, nav and Premium Plus package yesterday.
It's mostly for the wife, who absolutely loves it. It's a nice move up for her, going from an Acura Integra.

Cheers!

just bought one for my wife. it's white with the tan leather interior. sorry, i don't have the official color and option names memorized yet, lol. yep, a newbie. love the RX350. got a good deal and we're very happy with the it. we also own an 04 Tahoe Z71 and 04 Z71 truck. very happy with the Chevys, but we wanted something with better gas mileage.

it is a RWD with everything, including the heated seats.

cheers and happy motoring.

btw great BB. every thread i've read so far has been very positive. plan on checking in lots more.

Default Awesome car...

My wife and I just got the 2007 rx350 awd model. Crystal white with beige interior. The mark levinson package, nav, etc, all the goodies. Love this car. So smooth and quiet. So far with 800 miles we're getting 22 mpg, but we've been driving it gingerly. You can't go wrong with Lexus, er uh toyota. My other car is a 1997 toyota camry with.....192,000 miles. I bought that brand new and can you believe the only parts I've replaced on it are : battery, starter, front shocks!

Default Congratulations to you both!!

Wow I can't wait! Mine is supposed to be in at the end of September, and I couldn't resist the compass question, thanks for the quick reply, Mine is white w/Nav/levinson 18" and heated seats/rain sensing. Can Either of you expound a little on a couple more isssues? What all is in "Illuminated entry" specifically are there puddle lamps in the mirrors? lighted outside or inside door handles? Lighted scuff plates"LEXUS" light up on them? Do the headlights illuminate when unlocking at night? Does the Marc Levinson sound good?
last Question, Supposedly youcan play DVD videos on the Nav screen w/Levinson as long as you are in Park and parking brake on, is this so and how neat is it? I spend a lot of time in the car stopped waiting on my wife while she takes care of various business items. Sorry guys for all the questions, But I envy you, I'm extremely excited and I think the salesman doesn't want me to ask him and he does't know anyway, at least not like a proud owner would. Thank heavens it has a compass for quick reference our 99 LS400 doesn't have one at all and it sure would be helpful.
Thanks again all and congratulations to both of you, Mines coming!!

Bought my RX350 in mid-March. 20,019 miles so far. I usually put about 50,000 - 60.000 miles a year on my work vehicle. Love this Lexus for the most part. No problems except for failure to easily adapt a hard wire of my ipod to the stock radio and same for transfering my previous Panasonic Sirius radio. Would it have been too much to ask for a couple of RCA Aux's - spent a lot of time and about $300 and failed. Dealer wanted $600 just to get Sirius into the vehicle which was supposed to be Sirius ready. Lexus amp only works with stock radio - data cable specific. Even my wife's 2006 VW New Beetle Convertible had a ipod connection under the center dash. Other than that the only dissapointment is the lack of either OEM or aftermarket accessories available on line. Mirror bras/covers, splash guards, etc. Previous car was a 2001 Chrysler 300M which I had no problems beyond the expected on a car which was retired in good driving condition with over 230,000 miles.

You got it, but I did go with the lexus because it is more gentle on the environment. Here I was hating SUVs all these years, thought I'd buy a nice little 4 cyl truck, but they pollute more and use more gas than I realized. Once I started doing the research, I saw the RX 350 was best in class for being green (yes, even the non-hybrid) so I had to go Lexus. Since you winked, I trust you were just giving me some ribbing vs. trying to be a d*(k? I hope so...
