My cousin got one in China RX 2016 and it has the sequential blinkers since last year.

to do the rears, it's about 1500 without installation.

I wonder how Audi got away with it in US, because it is on the A4 I have seen it in person.

Yeah that is true, you can always do it on your own. but it sucks it won't come with cars like other country do.

Has anyone actually tried it on the 2017 just to make sure they didn't sneak it in like Audi?

I thought the A4 had two separate sections to the sequential light? The bigger part at the top which would already meet the size criteria, and then a bottom section that does the actual sequential blinking?

Default 2017 RX 450h arrivals

Does anyone know when the 2017 RX450h models arrive to dealerships? In have not seen any in the Dallas area. Texas dealers are quoting production finishing this month and arrivals in December.

Default Intuitive parking assist

Hi,
I checked lexus rx350 2017 models inventory and no one has intuitive parking assist. I have it in my ES350.
Is it standard option for rx350 ?

Thanks

I believe that it is now part of a blind spot monitor package described as: Blind Spot Monitor, Intuitive Park Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Alert & Automatic Braking.

I'm happy to report that I have found this on a lower end no navigation package. Since the Intuitive park assist is a must for me (living in a city with 99% parallel parking only) I stayed away from the 2016 model because I found it absurd to have to spend $5,000 on unwanted options just to get some simple sensors that come standard on much lessor brands. Lexus did right making this available on a more basic model.

How can we search the whole US inventory?. This is my first time getting a Lexus and it is extremely frustrating and hard to find a 2017 RX450h with luxury package and triple-beam LED headlights. A couple of dealers have searched the list of production cars in the next month finding only one car that matches. It takes about 45 days after production to get a car to the dealer. So there is only one option and it is for end of the year. Wow! I have been looking for a new car since early summer and all the Lexus dealers just said to wait until October. One dealer told me that ordering a car would take five months. If I had ordered one then, I would have the car sooner, but that dealer kept discouraging it. Is it this hard to get a Lexus? How can I search all dealership inventories and next week cars being produced?

Try Cars.com for the complete inventory. I just looked and they have several 450H listed.

Thanks, that was somewhat helpful. It will list all 2017 RX 450h including F Sport, but I cannot select options or even narrow down for a non-F Sport. I had to kind of guess by price what is being offered, then go to each dealer website, search their inventory, and then look at each model for its options.

When I bought my wife new RX 450H FSport last month, all dealers confirmed that cars.com has never been accurate! Dealers don't update it often so if the cars have been sold, they are still on cars.com!
Make sure to contact dealers before you come!
