RX450h updated on Lexus.com
They finally updated the website to include the hybrid. 
Still cant build it yet though.
I noticed a little problem with the options and opted to chat with a representative about the issue on the lexus website. According to the guy and the website, you cannot get a hybrid with LED headlamps and Rain sensing wipers together!
This is because the comfort package includes bi xenon, auto highbeams, and AFS, and rain sensing wipers. LED headlamps are an individual option, but not rain sensing.

Website isn't really complete yet. That's why I altered my post this morning.
Still cannot understand why Lexus is so rush to public their info online since it's not complete or accurate. What's wrong with them...

i dont think the website is incorrect. It looks pretty complete to me, except for the model highlight videos still show the RX350.
as for the LED and Rain sensing, it looks like that is lexus' fault in the configuration of the car

When you use the comparison link in the website it incorrectly shows the FWD as having a mileage rating of 29 mpg and the AWD at 30 mpg (which is reversed). Though it is correct on other parts of the website.
I saw that the 450h also requires premium fuel. But I thought premium fuel can not be used efficiently in an Atkinson cycle engine and that they always recommend regular fuel.

the GS hybrid (and LS and old RX400h) do not use an atkinson cycle engine which has a longer compression stroke, and therefore is more fuel efficient but less powerful. Those hybrids use the regular otto cycle engine. the HS250h and RX450h are the first lexus hybrids to use this type of engine

Stormforge, what color combo are you thinking about?
