Happy new owner!!!!!
I just brought a White Gold Crystal an Ivory leather interior home. WOW... what an impressive vehicle! Please don't tell Lexus, but I think it's underpriced for the quality they provide. The fit/finish and the "neat gadgets" that this thing has definately made it the best buy in it's class!
We compared three vehicles: RX300, ML320, and the X5.
The X5 had the best looking exterior (opinion... agressive looking front end and great tire/wheel package) and a little more horsepower, but the interior was the worst of the three. I was surprised that BMW would have the cheapest looking interior. I really didn't care for that bubbled dashboard pod behind the steering wheel.
The ML320 was just plain. Nothing stood out as impressive except for the curb weight... boy is that heavy! My goal wasn't to get the most weight for the dollar. The interior was nice, but not impressive and it was the least comfortable of the three.
The RX300 had the best interior, best and QUIETEST ride, beautiful fit/finish/paint, and I was amazed that it was the least expensive of all three.
Only 27 miles at the time of this post and we already love it!

Happy New Owner
It is a very nice vehicle, glad to hear you enjoy yours, we basically love ours too for ride characteristics, looks and interior finish, LEXUS is great!
I would be interested to hear if you notice buzzy noises around the car as you drive on rough surfaces when you get to know your car over time.

Thanks for the welcome...
spinteews: It's not the AWD model... I don't think it's needed in Atlanta for traction, and the wife was not interested in it... the navigation system would be a plus.
parula: I'll let you know if a buzzing noise developes. We bought the vehicle for the wife, and unless it's real noticable, she'll probably never notice it. I tend to hear every little noise in my car as soon as it starts. I'll probably only be driving it 3-4 times per month, so I'll definately be savoring those enjoyable drives.
