I fail to see how the RX 330 becomes more "sporty and rugged" looking by filling in a 24"x1.5" gap.
YMMV

YWW, thanks for pointing out about the luggage rack. I sure didn't know that was going to be standard. I for one have absolutely no use for one and besides my garage door opening may not be able to accommodate that extra height. My brother's mini-van with a roof rack can't clear my garage door opening and the only way he can get in is to lower the tire pressure on all 4 tires to about 12 pounds of air from the normal 32 psi. The rack is definitely out in my book and I guess we won't buy a new RX330 if the rack is indeed standard (yes, we'll put up with the large grill opening).

I agree though. It should be an option to have the roof racks or not.

They are better off offering that as a separate option for people who really need them instead of jacking up the base price to include them as standard equipment.

I actually perfer the open gap styling on the RX330 to the style on the RX300. Seems smoother.
