5th Gen RX Sightings
A large dealer close to my home has many sitting on the lot. The 500H looks nice but I'm not interested for $70K+.
In the Plano/Collin Co area I've seen 3 or 4 in the wild.
I ordered my '23 while it was being loaded on the train in Canada in early March. Took delivery in late March after dealer prep and a couple add ons.
Copper Crest Premium Plus. Most people that have commented on the color ask what its called. Haven't seen any other coppers on the roads around here.

I've been surprised at how few 5th gens I've seen in the Vancouver, WA + Portland, OR area. Maybe I've seen 5 of them? Lots of gas RX's sitting available in lots, and the Portland dealership even has several 500h's in stock. I think the dealer allocation nightmare (350h's still selling like hotcakes), the polarizing front end, and the high prices of the new model are just not working for folks.
I've seen only a few 5G here in north NJ. Surprisingly, one was in our local neighborhood/subdivision.
The first time the wife drove it around the block, the owner of the other one stopped to congratulate us. She KNEW we were trying out all the features...

Did 800 miles this week from San Angelo, TX to Ruidoso, NM and back all on state highways. I saw 2 between Roswell and Ruidoso. One iridium and the other white pearl. Also saw a copper crest outside Seminole, TX.
Saw two 350h models in Westwood (Los Angeles) and 1 500h a few days ago. The RXs are really becoming more visible now. I have also noticed that BH Lexus, which shows dealer adjustments on their site, has most of the 500h models for $3,500 under MSRP. I wonder if they are not selling well. For me, I would rather have the MPG advantage of the 350h over the sporty/more powerful 500h. The higher price and when they first came out a lot of dealers here were marking them up $5k to 10k also turned me off for this model.

I saw 2 350h models in a parking garage parked next to each other in Alhambra today. One white and one dark gray. I have gone from seeing very few to almost 2 a week. Glad my 350h has some company on the road now.
I'm also in NC and while there are several 350s at the dealership here (we have one Lexus dealership with 2 locations in my area) but I've only seen maybe 4 or 5 2023 RX on the road around here and I drive quite a bit. Also, the NC dealers are being territorial about reservations so I would have thought I would have seen more on the road locally. Colors seen on the road - 1 blue, 2 white and 1 black - I'm not sure if they were 350 or 500h.
