Just bought a new 2013 Deep Sea Mica Lexus RX 350 AWD at near the same MSRP price paid for the Starfire Pearl (white) 2011 RX 350 AWD I traded in. I was pleased with the deal. I lost the "Towing Package", "Auto Dimmers", and "Adaptable (swivel) low beam headlights". The new one has "Folding Side View Mirrors", "Blild Spot Monitor System" in the side view mirrors, and the updated items standard on the new 2013s. The new one has deleted the 6 CD Changer and added the Single Disc CD/DVD player. I guess with MP3, USB, etc, they figure CDs are going the way of the eight track. The owner's manual (1000 pages) for the main volume overwhelmed me, have not read the Nav Manual yet. Suggested to Lexus (e-mail) they shoud only print items specific to the model delivered, not RX450h and a lot of items not included in my SUV. Suggested they consider placing all pertinent info on a "Mini" iPad and put it in the glove box v.v. the current encyclopedia on Lexus operation and CYA info from their lawyers. Overall, I'm pleased with the new RX350 so far. Also, it's got Michlein's on it.

Sounds great. The new front end is growing on me but not so much that I'm willing to give up my adaptable headlights yet, mine really work great and I love the swivel. 42,000 miles and going strong with near 31mpg average overall on my 2010 (h)

Good idea! That would create quite a bit of marketing buzz.

FYI if you don't already know you can register at drivers.lexus.com and get all of the manuals as PDFs. Got to bring your own iPad to carry them in the car that way though.

Welcome to the 3G forum of clublexus. (I like to think of my 2013 as 3.5 G.) Post a pic when you get a chance - you have one of the more unusual colors.
