I just picked up a copy of the 2003 RX catalog and surprised to find no premium Mark Levinson offered. I thought that was a mistake so I cross-checked Lexus' website and same deal. I find it odd that ML is not offered on the RX when it is offered on all other models (I think). What's the deal? Even the ES has the ML as an option. Maybe Lexus doesn't want to spend that money fitting the ML into the current RX model when the new RX330 will be out next Spring. Your thoughts?

If Lexus puts ML on the RX (and I'm almost positive they will) they are going to wait until the next generation RX to do it. They did the same with the ES in 2002.

Yep, my thought precisely. If it is available, it will most likely be in the next Gen model..

Can someone tell me the difference betwen the standard Lexus sound system in the 99's, and the Nakamichi system?

I'm not exactly sure about the difference in the components but I do know that the differnce is sound was minimal, if noticeable at all. I couldn't get the Nakamichi when I bought my 2000 in 2000. It seems dealers stopped ordering them with it. Very hard to find.

Also I believe the IS has no option for the ML sound system. I would hope Lexus would put a ML system in the RX considering its the most popular Lexus and contributes to most of the sales. It only seems logical.
