Well the car actually came more than a week ago, but I didnt have time to pick it up. I have compiled some pictures of the old RX for you guys to see. Im loving the new one so far. The hybrid was clearly a right decision. I am currently averaging 27.5 on the first 50 miles I have traveled today which is pretty good considering I live on such a hilly city. The old RX hovers around 14-16 mpg on a good day

The Specs:

RX330: flint mica, 2004, performance package (air suspension!), nav, heated seats, after market dvd player

into

RX450h awd in Stargazer black Special Order
pretty much all options except for ML and RSES. so LUX, LED, HUD, PCS, Comfort,

Stargazer black is gorgeous in person. The metallic flakes really add a second color if you will. In the sunlight, its more like a charcoal gray, and Im sure it will hide the swirls. So far I like the HUD, but I dont really see it as a necessity...yet. Its nice to have, but I wont miss it on my next car. I got to try out the dynamic cruise control a bit, but I didnt want to stay at a constant speed for too long per manual instructions. Only four things I noticed that are missing from my 330: illuminated door handles on the inside, homelink lights, rear door sill lights, and a rear cargo mat.

Really excited to learn all the controls of the car, and Im sure you guys can help me out. I will take some more pictures as I get the chance, but hopefully the LED headlight shot will hold you guys over till then.

and the piece de la resistance

 

oooo congrats on the 450

 

Glad you have your new car now. Ours is on the boat that will be in Jacksonville in 12 hours from now been watching in move with the web link that Steve put out in his post. I do not seeing us picking it up until the 27th with the Holladay. What rate did you get to finance the car? If you had to do that, because we will and I am shopping rates now.

 

PMed you Billy

and thanks for the congrats, its a great car!

 

RXSF, congratulations!!!!! I can't wait to see more pictures of your 450h. Those LEDs are so sexy especially on a black RX.

 

cant wait to see more pics of that 450h!

 

 

congrats and welcome to the 450h club!

 

Are the LED headlights on the RX450h adaptive, that is, do they turn with the steering wheel?

Congratulations, I am thinking about getting an RX450h as well.

 

yes they are adaptive. they seem to move much faster than the ones on my old RX. also you get the auto highbeams which was taken out of the bi-xenon package.

 

thanks everyone! Every time I get into the new RX, I am reminded of why this is my 3rd RX. No wonder it was and continues to be the standard

so do you guys also not have a rear cargo mat? is that the norm?

 

rear cargo mat is a stand alone item or part of the preferred accessories package which includes cargo net & wheel locks...

 

RXSF, now you see you can't compare the 450h with the 330. It's quite a difference. Not that I didn't love my 2nd gen, or 1st gen. The adaptive lights swivel much more smoothly in turns. Lexus is making the RX better and better. We're both testament to that

I'd pester your dealer for that cargo mat. BTW, what are you doing with the 330? And change your signature already

 

Love the color and congrats on the new RX.

I am a first time RX buyer and I don't regret the move at all, guess I'll be here a while.

 

Hello and Congrats on your RX - We ordered our 2011 RX350 in Stargazer Black at the beginning of November- hope to have it by March. Can't wait to see more pics of yours since we haven't been able to see this color in person. We ordered ours because we couldn't find an RX with the options we wanted - Adaptive Cruise Control. Going from a 2008 Lexus IS350 to an RX.
