Rough Idle

I have a recently bought 2012 RX 350 with 1200 miles. It seems to idle a little rough, and I can feel some slight vibration. However, this condition disappears when I start driving. Service Advisor said this condition should subside as car breaks in. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it normal for this model? I'll bring it up again when I go for the 6-month/5000 mile service.

I have a 2012 RX350 I purchased 6 months ago. The only way I can tell the engine is running when it is idling is by looking at the tach. I can not hear or feel it running. That is not the pursuit of perfection by your dealer.

I went to dealer and salesman had me check the engine idle in another 2012 RX 350. It felt the same as mine. So I concluded the slight roughness/noise is typical for this model. Salesman said they made the engine a little noisy/rough to appease more to male drivers. Strange?
