08 RX400h is still on the lexus website
they must be really slow about this. i spoke to my dealer recently and he said the RX350 gen 3 comes out in febuary, and the hybrid in May.
well if thats the case, the 09 hybrid (even if out today) would have a model year of just a few months.
wonder if its possible for them to skip a model year and just move on the gen 3.
thoughts?

Look for the RX 450h coming...
The Lexus RX, RX350, RX350 AWD, RX450h
Staff Manual, October 10, received around 10 REKUSASUKAREJJI from late in the training, starting from November and the orders of precedence.
And, is a mix, is as follows.
RX350: Standard, sports, luxury
RX350 AWD: Standard, sports, luxury, RAGUJUARIEASASU
RX450h: Standard, sports, luxury, RAGUJUARIEASASU
Body size, 4770 × full length full width and breadth 1885 × height in 1690.
The second half of the price range from four million yen for the first half of 7 million yen that is expected.
Initially, only the RX350 in the lineup, RX450h until next summer.

450h eh? Sounds to me like fuel economy #s for it will be going down if it has power on par with the 400h. Right now, the 400h is a good mix of power and economy, it just needs the direct injected 3.5L. SUVs arent supposed to be fast.

Well the current 3.5 is fuel efficient, add the hybrid power train to it, and it should be powerful and very fuel efficient for a vehicles in its class

the regular RX and RX450h needs to have 300+ horsepower to stay in the market.
really, the RX350 needs it more than the RX450h. but if the hybrid comes in with less horsepower, then it goes directly against the Lexus philosophy so far with hybrids, and how they act as "turbos". that would mean they would have "lost"

I can't remember but I think there was a vehicle by GM that skipped a model year a few years back.
