Air suspension is a waste. RXSF and I had it. It's nothing to write home about. Now if it danced like the old Range Rovers...

the air suspension was noisy, slow and even malfunctioned one time and required replacing of something. I was riding low on one side for a week

I don't know about the Audi. The way I had one built to my specification at one time seemed to put the price at what my RX was at. I agree about missing the sunglass holder, and would love, if not standard, but as a stand-alone option, a panoramic sunroof. Dual exhausts would look nice also, and would follow with most of the rest of the Lexus line-up.

One thing I do enjoy and think is pretty cool on the RX is the automatic expanding/retracting of the power tilt steering wheel when you turn the car on and off. Very luxurious! There aren't too many luxury makes out there that have this feature. I mean, some have the power tilt, but they don't expand and retract automatically.

RX350 is priced very competitively when compare to all others in its class. Even thought I have considered Q5 and others, Q5 definitely is not a direct competitor to RX, and like all European luxury vehicles they “nickel-n-dime” you until you have empty pocket.

Q5 will be direct competion with X3 and RDX in small luxuary CUV catagory.

With that note, it would have been nice to have crossbar to go with standard rail.

I certainly agree! What good are the rails without the crossbars?? It's like supplying rims without the tires! They should price in the crossbars with the premium package.
Cheers ,

Realtime display of 12 volt battery charge. Perhaps in the multi- information display.

Voice command open rear tailgate. Walk up with hands full, fob in pocket, speak "Lexus open".

back in the day in my 04, you could do this little trick to the nav to get to the secret menu where you can access the nav overide to use while moving, turn on the backup camera even in drive and when moving, but also to see the 12v status!

You can still access the secret menu to see 12 volt status, but why not put it in the OLED display. Just a little warning when I'm parked, doors open, radio blaring, that I'm on the verge of killing the battery.

It would be nice if the cigarette lighter outlet would work when the car is off.
