Thumbs up Got Mine!!! '10RX350 AWD - Truffle Mica.

Finally, I got mine this morning at 10. Not quite excited, just breathed a sigh of relief.

After searching/test-driving most of SUVs in the market in April, wife and I decided to give RX a try. I know I won't have the chance of getting J-built RX or RX with HUD/Audo-folding mirrors, but it's not the big deal. We ran into the dealerships in the final week of April, and luckily got one of the best price. Wife then chose Truffle Mica with black leather and brown walnut. At that time, this RX was on the "boat". Well, it's from Cambridge.

MSRP: $45,950.00 + $875.00 = $46,825.00
Final Sale: 42,500.00
Discount: $4,325.00

AWD
Comfort Pkg
Premium Pkg
Navi Pkg
12-speaker Prem Audio
Tow Prep Pkg
Wood & Leather-trimmed Steering Wheel & Shift ****
Cargo Mat
Cargo Net
Wheel Locks.

Pretty standard equipments and features.




I’ll submit my 1-month report in May.

Congrats! I think I speak for a lot of people when I say we'd love to see pictures. You are the first person with the Truffle Mica that I've heard of. Of course, I have yet to post MY pics, so I'm not one to talk!

Cheers,
John

The dealer may take a ride on my RX or gave one customer a test-drive... I won't be able to know.

I wouldn't worry about the 5 on the odometer. Each Lexus gets a factory test drive before shipping, and often gets a test drive inspection upon arrival...just to be sure everything is ok. Don't worry, they wear gloves, etc.

Another dilemma with the Truffle Mica is the local motor vehicle dept. may not find the proper color to describe your true color. They may register your car as "Brown" or "Gray"...

Some stupid dealers even register as "Gold" - what's going to happen if troopers pull you over and find out your color isn't matched.

I probably will break my words here, and will not write the detailed reports on this RX10...

I was looking for Lexus RX due to its smoothness, quietness, comfort, driver-friendliness, moderate luxury, and fineness.

Surprisingly, RX is good on handling and driving, but seems to fail to reach my standards of comfort, quietness, and fineness.

Discomfort: the suspensions are way too soft. Perhaps, to equip with its ordinary Sport pkg may be helpful.

Noise: when the engine is cold, and when going uphills.

Coarseness: assembly flaw on my front bumper, windows, rear taillights, underneath spoiler; noise control and isolation, etc.


I should buy 19", they look awesome and great!!!
