Question 2005 RX brochures available?

Since the new 2005 RX prices were announced recently
http://pressroom.toyota.com/photo_li...l?id=20050903a

Are the brochures for the 2005 RXs available yet at dealers?

Had talked to someone else and they picked up an 05 brochure the other day, but said they were all out at his dealership shortly.

Are the wheels on the Perf Pkg different from the other 18" wheels?

Lexus officially announced the 2005 Lexus Rx330 pricing on Sept 3:


"The RX 330 luxury utility vehicle has been enhanced for 2005 by adding the power rear liftgate, 8-way power passenger seat, and a wood steering wheel and shift **** to the list of standard features. The available Lexus Navigation System gets upgraded software, and adds voice activation and Bluetooth® capability. Both RX models get a price increase of $500 with the MSRP for the RX 330 FWD model at $35,775 and the RX 330 AWD model at $37,175."

Seems a good deal for $500 more. Hope the 05 DVD for the NAV is better than the 04 DVD for the LS430's NAV which has many bad data points. I heard that the 05 RX330's deliver 1 LESS mpg. Will it accelerate better now? Or is it make the RX 400h's mileage gain look more impressive?

I would guess it's just more about making the sticker more accurate with what a lot of people have observed as true fuel economy, but just a guess.

Does seem like a pretty solid deal for $500 more ... I'm sure they get it back somewhere else in the packages though.

I'm looking at getting either the 04 or 05 RX330. I was originally going to wait for the 400h but since it’s delayed till April, I don’t think I should trust my current car that long.

Anyway, does anyone know when Lexus changes over to the 05 model year? Are there any changes scheduled for the 05?

I wanted Bluetooth but I have not seen that listed in any of the 330 information I’ve seen so far.
If I were in your shoes, I'd talk my sales guy into giving me a short-term lease for an RX330. Then buy the RX400h when it comes out.
