Default Transformer RX

Not sure if this is a repeat, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HI_NHfnTIJE

Don't get confused when it says RX300, in some parts of the world the RX300 continued on though with 2nd gen. RX body (but 1MZFE motor).

This isn't a transformer, but a pretty interesting neon concept from our friends in Saudi Arabia (note the RX300 designation as well but a 2nd gen. body), http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUO6mE7zPP4

HI all,
In my country (singapore) there is no such thing as RX330 , both the first gen and 2nd gen RX using the same 3.0 engine . We call the 2nd gen the new RX , untill the RX350 and RX400 came in .
In my country the cost of car ownership is very high , Rd tax and insurance for the 350 is around $5500US per year . So we prefer smaller capacity engine cause our island is very small , 1 end to the other end is only around 60Km , haha that's how big my country is ......
BTW a brand new RX 350 is around $115,000USD include the tax and other stuff , but this price dosen't include insurance .


Regards

I think these are TireFly's. I saw those a few years ago at the NY Auto Show. They're just LED tire caps that are activated by centripetal force.

I can remember countless times guys showing up to my track in Mexico with these things...and not leaving with them. A lot of the tuning shops would sell them there.

When I was in Jamaica last year I also saw these RX300s with the 2nd gen RX body, but they also ran side by side with vehicles branded as Toyota Harriers.
