Thanks RX330!

Also, thanks hogchow for the Nav tip. I will be learning the Nav this weekend and "teaching" my wife how to use it so this will be helpful so we don't have to sit in one spot

That's one of the things about buying a new car.

Figuring out how to use all the gadgets and gizmos.

It takes a while, but it's fun, I have to admit.

5 speed. Let's hope it does not burn ATF every 15k like the RX300. I lowered my expectation of the RX a long time ago after I realize Lexus will never going to put anything technically advanced in this product line. We wil be lucky in the future to have sport shift, and don't even dream about manual transmission. The word MANUAL is in RX's world.

I have that "sport shift"' option, now if it had a sport shift transmission to go with it.

Yes, like the 6 speed in GS. How about putting the technometer with the gear indicator. How much information does one obtain by placing gear indicator with FUEL LEVEL and temperature at the right side of the panel. Does Lexus expects driver to shift according to how much gas he has in the tank or swing his head left and right just to shift and read RPM at the same time?
I understand this is a legancy layout starting from the RX300, but I don't believe Toyota's designer ever THINK about it.
