New here...
Hi,
My name is Harrie Beekmans, and I'm from Holland. One month ago, I bought my first Lexus, a 2012 RX450h F-sport. It's the best car I've ever owned, before this car I drove a 2010 Renault Espace (don't know if you know it down there...) which is also a great car, but the Lexus is better... I hope to learn more about the RX and all the other Lexusses... Pics of my car will follow later on...
I'm sorry for my bad American, I hope you don't mind...
Best regards,
Harrie

Welcome to CL, Harrie. Don't worry, your American is just fine It looks like you're the second one with a 450h F-Sport in the forum. Unfortunately we don't get them here in the states. Definitely take pictures so that we can drool over your RX.

These are some pics I got from my dealer... I will shoot a few myself another time, because there's about 10 inches of snow outside now...
My car is imported from Germany. In Holland we have to pay BPM (kind of tax) which makes a new RX about $20.000 more expensive here than they are in Germany. If you buy a young used car, like I did, the tax you have to pay when you bring him to Holland is about $8000... So I saved $12.000 only on the tax, and another $8000 because it was used... Well, used... That's not the right word... It drove about 4000 miles and wasn't even half a year of age... Practically new...
They don't bring F-sports there? I think that's because you like comfort, and in Europe we prefer sporty... I drove a President RX, and that one is really far more soft than my one... I think the F-sport also has got different seats... When I visited the states 2 years ago, I got sick when I drove my rented Lincoln Town car because it was so comfy...

But except the overload of comfort in the Lincoln I really loved the car... But I really don't like the new MkZ...

Harrie, congratulations on your new Lexus. You bought yourself a world class automobile.
Curious about something. Is Lexus sold through Toyota dealers in Holland? I also see a white IS C in the last picture reflected on your bumper which leads me to believe Lexus is sold there.

Do not worry about your spelling or grammar. Doesn't count for much online or even here in the States for that matter. Not everyone can speak the Queen's English.

Great car!! Such a shame though, I was getting used to the privilege of having the only RX450h F Sport on this forum . Well I guess I have the only white one and possibly the only RHD one! Enjoy your car, its a stunner, it will turns heads everywhere you go!

The LED headlights are super sweet. Are they standard on the 450h F-Sport?
Aww, you're still special
