the Rest function where it knelt down at engine stop was helpful. But I complained since day 1 that the noise of the air suspension going back up was too loud, especially from the outside

well AVS constantly works to improve the handling and comfort, it is not just for loading things :-)

It was (and probably still is but I havent see it on the 3gen yet) a inferior system than those mentioned above. It took a good 2 minutes to raise the whole car by like an inch.

the AVS on the RX cannot be associated with "constant" in the same way as the AVS on say the GS or the LS which actually adjust in milliseconds the suspension to adapt to road and cornering conditions.

still is a nice option to have. even though if it didnt sell well but one option i wish this generation had was the glass roof like on the previous generation. remember seeing comments that it rattled and such, but still nice to have all that skylight coming into the cabin like on the ES.

It may have been available in other markets, but the new one has that too.

yea, last generation RX 330 had the big roof as an option, even been in a few of them myself. I do not know if the 2007 on up model years had them though as an option.

But anyways, Always been a fan of the RX, and the addition of F-Sport is nice.
wonder if it would be purely looks or will the suspension be firmer like it is on the GS F-sport and IS & CT models.
hope the interior gets some added does of personality, because currently, it lacking.

Looks great! Much more aggressive and sporty. Love everything but the new taillights. I think they are a step backward by adding in the red, a la 2005 ES330.
