Thanks for posting this. Before seeing this, I wasn't sure if the F sport package includes power folding side mirrors. Looks like it does, as the F sport package includes the premium package, which lists the power folding mirrors.

Unfortunately the brochure appears to confirm what I've been afraid of. I am NOT a fan of the grey wood trim. I see it on most LS460s and IMO it's just fugly. It looks like the only way one can get a more traditional wood trim is if they opt for the Premium Package without the Luxury package. Please chime in if I'm incorrect.....

I agree with you on the black/grey wood Lexus currently has in their cars. But I believe this new 2016 RX grey has a nicer browner hue to it. I don't mind this "gray" wood. I think it's actually quite classy.

I'm not a fan of grey wood either. Where did they come up with that anyway?

Does this mean I cant get rear seat entertainment with the fsport package? Last year models this was an individual package which allows fsport RX thats option. This is a deal breaker for me too. So its either AVS or Rear DVD hmmmm..... i want both da##it!

I will never get the rear entertainment package ever again for a couple reasons....1) it's way bulky on the new RX and encroaches entry space and 2) most importantly it's way too expensive when I can buy a nice iPad for each kid back there and they can do a whole lot more than watch movies. If the child is way little there are plenty of ways to place it on the back of a seat by in these days if there are 2+ they know how to use an iPad already. And on top of that you'll save a $1000 too.

Good point. The only problem would be putting the ipads away everytime i park the car so i dont draw any attention to the car from prying eyes. I currently have this setup in my GS with two ipads and its a pain to put it on and take it off. Wish they have a roof mounted option.

Thank you for your advice.

I understand your point. I think most people getting the fsport will want the panoramic roof which also makes it impossible.

A few 3RX owners have gone the aftermarket route for far less. And a few are integrated into the headrest. Here is an example. Power will most likely be accessible through the middle console like before.
