Default My New RX!

Coming from a 2003 RX 300 with more than 140k miles and zero problems. Got a great deal on this new RX 350 AWD - Obsidian w/Parchment leather, Nav, Adaptive Cruise, Heat/Vent seats, 19" wheels, etc. I like it very much so far but wish Lexus would issue a fix for the iPhone USB scrolling issue. Nice smooth acceleration, much better handling, WAY better turning radius, etc.

The guy in the bottom photo is my Dad. He's jealous.

Wow - congrats! It is a purchase to be proud of. By the way, what is the build-date of your new "baby"? Mine does not have the scrolling issue and it was built in June 2010.

@ Lex2133 - I paid $4500 below MSRP but they also gave me 10k for my trade which was more than reasonable given the mileage and general condition. Also, I was originally going to get the Truffle Mica but when I saw it in person I decided on Obsidian instead but it had the 19" rims which I persuaded them to throw in as well.

@ klopez3709 - I think my build date was something like April. I'll have to check again. It was built in Canada. My understanding of the scrolling bug is that later 2010 model year production RX's are getting a newer firmware (v 3357) at the factory but it has not yet been provided to dealers to fix earlier production vehicles with v3350 (which I have). That's sloppy on the part of Lexus.

Congrats, nice color combo. I'm sure it's quite different than your 1st gen RX. Enjoy!

Actually, although you guys seem concerned about the posts and the wires, my question would be about Dad's passenger.
