there is nothing to hear. New 350 and the 400h is only a year old.

That's an interesting position.
One reason I buy Lexus is that they last for more than 3 or 4 years, and as far as I can tell, that's pretty much the reason for its success.
Sounds like somebody prefers style over substance, although I can't help but think that Porsche owners don't seem to care that the style never changes. Still, I just bought an '04 RX330 a few weeks ago, so it's all new to me.

I sure don't need to replace the RX as I only have a little over 20,000 miles on it. The RX could easily last me another 10 years but I'm ready for something new. Something with new style and Lexus quality. I think the FX and maybe even the ML, like the RX, qualify for style and substance.
But, thats just me, I tire of some things too easily.
I kind of agree with jfelbab that 5 years as a little long to hold the same body style. I used to like it when Honda did a 4 year turn aroung, but Acura, Lexus, and many others do 5 years or more sometimes. I would say 5 year model run should be max, but that is just me. Anthing longer and it is just too long, like the 3rd gen Integra, or 2nd gen GS. 5 years is the longest I'd probably keep a regular car (Non Sports, expotic, or claassic). Everytime I got the car I really wanted, I said I'd keep it forever or run it into the ground. Seems like abut 3-4 years I end up getting something different not because the car is breaking down but simply because I get the urge to try something new.

Lexus seems to make big model changes less frequently than others, and I'm sure that there are reasons for that.
The RX300 was out for 3 years, I think, and the 330, which has a different interior and body from the 300, is in its fourth year, if you count the 350 as being the same as a 330, which you should do.
I had an SC400, which I think was a '92, and that car had few changes during its run, which ended when the SC430 (convertible) came out in April of '01 (as an '02 model) . . . so that's about 10 years on the SC300/400 style.
I would think that the 350 would stay the same for a year or two, which would give the 330/350 5 or maybe 6 years, and close to 10 if you add in the 300 years.
The RX is by far their best selling model, so maybe they just don't want to mess with something that's working so well.
