I'm relieved that I bought a proven 4th Gen RX instead of the new 5th Gen RX. I hear the new 2023 RX500h models are already having transmission issues!

It’s the guinea pig, wait a few more years to get one!

I did the same thing. Bought my 22 just before the new model came out. I learned from a very young age to never buy the first year of a new model.

That is weird. The 500h comes with an 8 speed trans, the 350h has the bullet proof CVT,,,AND the yet to be released 2024 TX 550h comes with a v6 and a CVT. Why would they ever stop using a CVT

I am glad I got the last V6 engine production also.

You did, and they have not announced when the the TX 550h, which will have the V6 and a CVT. I am waiting for it as I need a larger SUV.

Here's another report of a failed 2023 RX after 5 weeks of ownership. Yikes!!

I remember back in the 80's when the new Pontiac Fiero's would catch fire! Made me weary of "First Year" models and their "bugs".

i just got a loaner car and its a 2023 rx350 oh man its like jerks and wheel spinning nonstop when u take off on a stop sign or trying to give it some gas. dont know if its the new 2.5 engine or the tranny but after driving the 2023 rx350 i aint getting no 2.5 engine car from toyota or lexus.

Wheel spinning? Really?

Or the new owners are the guinea pigs?

i remember buying a new 1984 Fiero, their first year of production. It was nothing but trouble. After five years of ownership i gave (donated) it away.

The dealer was trying to convince me that a 4 cylinder 2023 was a better engine than a 2021 6 cylinder RX. I bought a 2021 6cylinder

Well you already know the dealer is lying when his/her lips are moving.

Lexus and Toyota are ditching their bulletproof NA V8s and V6s in favor of new small turbo engines. What could possibly go wrong...LOL
Don't blame them though...blame "save the planet" cult that is getting completely out of control.
