Pretty cool. I test drive a RZ at the auto show. I thought it felt and rode like a Lexus used to before the newer sport oriented models. Apparently Lexus only offer 5% ren so that it feels more traditional. I thought that was very apparent. And I truly loved the interior. It felt like Toyota went a little extra in the fit and finish and slightly better materials department. Kinda like Japan vs USA interior quality. I loved the softnesses and smoothness of the steering wheel. I never experienced a steering wheel with that feel

Yep, fixes the one of the main complaint which was range and charging curve. It's not coming to US anytime soon thanks to tariff wars. Will be landing on Europe and Asia Pacific shores this year.
