Ok... Ok... I know that I am a little kid!
You can in fact trace your vehicles current location while it's at sea, as long as you have the Vehicle Inventory Detail list. On that list is the vessel name. You can go to http://www.marinetraffic.com and you can see the ships position.
At this time our RX is headed down towards Panama... pretty cool!

Yes it did!
It is truly wonderful, we have driven some 1500 miles, going south for the winter.
We will post some photos once we get all moved in.

Currently we only have one photo (at the dealers)! The Satin Cashmere Metallic with Parchment interior is a striking combination.
We have driven over 1500 miles and everything works great, it pulled a 3,000 trailer with ease. It pulled a boat, put it in and out of the water on a steep incline with no problems our Chrysler T&C Limited 4.0 Van could not do this.
The gas mileage has been around 28 (mostly highway driving) except when we pulled the trailer we got 15.5 MPG which is really great, our last vehicle pulling the same type trailer only got 6.9 MPG!
To say that we are happy with our 2011 RX 450h is an understatement!

billy44bo,
The LED lights work great, the signs and road makers really light up, they have a cool factor of 10, but $1,800... you got to be kidding me! We wanted the luxury package and to get that we needed to order LED lights.
Of all the nice comments we have had about the car, most often we hear "wow look at those headlights"

Order my Rx450h end of Jan 2011. Still do not know if shipped, being build, or even in line to be built. Does Anyone know who to get the information from Japan? Dealer is trying to find out status of unit.

No, I don't play soccer!
Limodriver, I don't understand why the dealer is having a problem finding out the status of your RX. Special orders go through CA and, after accepted, can be searched with a few keystrokes. I'd verify at this point the order really exists. Almost three months without any information is ridiculous.
