Default Just saw a 3RX with RX400h wheels
Too bad I wasn't able to tell if it was a 350 or 450h because of the unusual wheels

Easy way to tell is the Lexus badge would be a midnight blue w/chrome 'L' if it was a 450h. It isn't so .....

Plus it has a European or Canadian tag and doesn't have the 'shark fin' satellite antenna.

The badge is a good indicator, thanks.

I don't think cars outside of the US have the shark fin..

I think that the easiest thing is to look for the rear window wiper. If it is visible at the bottom of the glass, it is a RX350 or earlier version; if it is hidden under the overhang at the top of the rear window glass, it is a RX 450h.

Not true...I have a 350 and the wiper is hidden in the overhang...
