For the lucky few that have gotten their RX450h's already, can you please tell me how is the acceleration using ECO Mode. I have a 2010 Prius with ECO Mode and it is pretty sluggish under ECO Mode. Therefore, I usually only use it during morning rush hour.
I do know that if you floor it, it will give you full acceleration even if you are in Eco Mode.

One would expect the ECO Mode to be sluggish since its purpose is to avoid rapid accelerations to save fuel. We have been driving our RX450h in the ECO mode to this point because, I have been experimeting with the gas mileage. I will soon test it without the ECO Mode.

I also drove a 450h AWD and felt it was about as powerful as my '99 220 HP Rx 300. It felt very sluggish. I noticed the ECO mode was on at the time.
For those of us who do not yet have a 450h, how easy or difficult is it to switch ECO mode on/off? Is it a single dash button or does it take a series of buttons via the mouse to enter in to a menu, then scroll, then select, then confirm, etc?
thanks for any input
