For some reason I think the 400h is more nimble. Is it because it's a used and all broken in and 450h is too new and not broken in? Always feel the peppiness when stepping on gas but not the 450h.

Unhappy Dont you like honda navigation much better...and sunglass holder in honda

Have a 2011 450h for 2 weeks now, it's just awesome! the color is Obsidian and black leather interior. Also own a Honda Accord and Pilot. After the 450h made me not wanting to get back into the Hondas!

So called a dealer today for a 2008 400h and a deal was done. The color is Crystal white and beige interior. Drove the car for 5 mins just fell in love with it. It actually felt as good as the 450h if not better.

Will post pics and my opinions about the two cars when I get a chance.

ps Drove the Pilot to and from the dealer for 100 miles but $20 in gas Have gotten about 370 miles out of a full tank of 450h for the 2 weeks![/QUOTE]

when spending this much on a car and so much extra on the Lexus Navigation, I would expect at LEAST the quality of a cheap Garmin Navigation.

I have NOT SEEN ANYTHING ON SCREEN that tells you with an arrow what side it is on but even if it does that means you have to LOOK AT THE SCREEN when trying to find what side the destination is on...how stupid. IT seems from the posts, LEXUS has known this problem for YEARS and has done NOTHING ABOUT IT. In my opinion that is BAD SERVICE and NOT LISTENING TO CUSTOMERS. Even my 2004 Honda Navigation told me what side of the road my destination was on. ANOTHER ITEM while I am complaining about features a 50K car should have....on the RX 450h, where is the sunglass holder?? I was told to use the tray in the console...ok, that is great because it is so shallow when I did use it and closed the console, it CRUSHED MY SUNGLASSES. SO NO GO THERE. I understand the older RX had a sunglass holder in center above front window however NOW there is one LITTLE button for emergency...THAT BUTTON COULD BE PUT ANYWHERE ELSE because if you are in an accident, that would be a very hard place to reach anyway and ONE LITTLE BUTTON SHOULD NOT TAKE UP THE WHOLE SPOT WHERE THE SUNGLASS HOLDER USED TO BE. AGAIN, LEXUS IS NOT LISTENING. I am a first time Lexus owner and while I love my car, feel these items SHOULD BY ALL MEANS BE INCLUDED. ARE YOU LISTENING LEXUS??

Default Two years tomorrow

I took delivery of my 2010 RX 450h two years ago tomorrow. It was hot shipped from the port and the 1st one in Atlanta. And so far it's met and exceeded all expectations

I know what you mean. I have had my 2011 Black with light gray trim for almost two weeks and love it. The only thing I have not been able to figure out is the word "set" appears occasionally on the information display and then goes off?

I also have a 2000 RX300 (burnished gold) with 45K miles on it (wife's car).

Have had 2006 RX330 (silver) and 2009 RX350 (blue), all with nay except RX300 (it was not available until 2001).
