Regional Lexus dealers seem not to provide the local customers too many options. We all saw power-folding mirrors or HUD on TV advertisement, however, only 1% of RX vehicles are with this type of features (at least in North-East region). Perhaps, Lexus Headquarters is running the business very conservative these months due to the current weak market in US.

I could find in Fort Worth, Dallas, Lubbock, Austin, and El Paso. Park Place Grapevine had the best combination of $'s off MSRP and trade in.
My dealer is still looking for '10RX with the luxury package for us... they found one nearby DC, but it's not the color I'm looking for... it's kind of stupid, Lexus seems to limit the choices of options on each region...
Hi ssolomo, DFW has 4 Lexus dealers but owned by two groups, Sewell and Park Place. Which one did you talk to? just curious. According to Autotrader, Sewell Lexus of Dallas has 108 2010 RX350 in stock; Sewell Lexus has 48, Park Place Lexus Plano has 52, and Park Place Lexus Grapevine has 40. Did you ask the dealer to trade with other regions? Maybe they can find one for you. So far I have only seen the new 2010 RX350 twice on the street since they came out. Went to the dealer in Plano one Saturday and they didn't have many in the parking lot either....
Thanks for all the feedback. Talked to both Sewell (Dallas - Lemmon Ave.) and Park Place - Plano. You'd think we're still in the middle of a hot market - half expect these salesmen to say "these things are selling like hotcakes!". Heck, couldn't even get one salesman to return a phone call (left 3 messages - friend bought 4 cars from him). I'm going to call some other Texas dealers. Make an offer and give them 24 hours to say yay or nay, then go on to the next one.
Wood steering wheel - is this a love or hate item? Seems like it would get ridiculously hot in the sun and be annoying - maybe I'm just used to a fat leather-wrapped grippy wheel.
