Matador Red
In case anyone wanted to see this color, I picked up our RX400h last weekend. I am a Toyota employee, so I ordered it this way. When I did, I didn't know what the red would look like in person, and have to say I am very impressed. It really makes this car.
Here are the details:
2008 MY Lexus RX400h
Matador Red Exterior - Black Interior
CL ~ Dynamic Laser Cruise Control
EY ~ Rear Seat Entertainment
FT ~ 18" Liquid Graphite Finish Aluminum Alloy Wheels
HH ~ Two-Level Heated Front Seats; Rain-Sensing Wipers And Headlamps Washers
HL ~ High Intensity Headlamps With Adaptive Front Lighting System (Afs)
NV ~ Navigation System Includes: Generation 5 Navigation System With Rear Camera; Bluetooth; Voice-Activation; Compass; Energy And Consumption Monitors
PM ~ Premium Package Includes: Leather Trim Interior; Power Tilt-Telescopic Steering Wheel With Memory; Memory Driver's Seat And Outside Mirrors; Illuminated Entry System; One Touch Open-Close Moonroof; & Roof Rack With Rails

WOW! That is nice!! I agree with mmarshall our resident reviewer who hangs out over in the Car Chat forum that Lexus like so many other automakers has been stuck for the last few years with a color palette more attuned to the funeral industry. Me like!
Makes me miss my first Suburban that looked like it belonged to the fire department. I think that color is a whole lot more sophisticated than that on the old wagon - is that now an "official" Lexus color, or do you have to have connections to special order it?

iKenn: It is the Hybrid badge.
jrobe: I don't know if it is readily available or not. I special ordered because pretty much all associate orders are special orders.
Thanks to all for the compliments.

Here's a cool tidbit about the HSD logo. If you look carefully, it spells out HSD. The S being the blue bit.

My 2008 does not have the blue L on the front either for that reason (I do have the one on the back.) I do have the blue headlight cover tint.
I don't have the HSD badge though - I thought that was something they were leaving off the Lexus. Interesting.

The blue L in the grille is swapped out for a more traditional L if you get the 'towing prep' package - it supposedly allows more airflow through that is required when towing.

Its really a Radar to measure how far/fast the car in front of you is, and adjust engine speed to match it.
