No doubt that photo is a hybrid. The wheels and the bumper are a given. Also on the rear rocker panel, it has a "hybrid" badge on the chrome trim.

But that color on that hybrid is offered on the 350 here in Canada... I'm still torn about the color... LOL

I've been told that the Smoky Granite on Light grey interior and ultra premium is available to me first week of May.. Just not sure if I want that color or if I should go with black on black, which I don't know when it would be available for me..

and I'm sooo eager.. Should I settle and go for it or wait for Osidian/black?

make sure you won't regret getting the SGM/gray one afterwards. I would definitely get a black one. Way classier.

That looks very nice.. Now is there a difference between that and the Obsidian? The Obsidian in this picture doesn't look as appealing as your studio shot hybrid.

click on the Obsidian and see the pictures on the pop up window.

My problem is that I haven't seen anyone post a decent picture of the Obsidian.

Yeah real life black RX 350 pics aren't that great so far, but I'm sure good pics will come too.

Thanks, Les. I have those pix from lexusclubowners.com They're still not the quality pics I'm looking for. A nice outdoor shot would be good. I actually went to my dealer's lot to see if they have the Obsidian so I could take pics and see for myself but there wasn't any outside.

The search goes on.

Wow, your car is so closed to the ones next to you. This reminds me of my daily parking in my city.

hehe, it's not my car, as DOUS said it's from the other forum.

If I'm buying anything it's the hybrid.

Saw an Obsidian on the road yesterday while driving around. I'm going with Obsidian!

I think the black saphire pearl would look great on the RX
