Well, I went out and started it to see, and the engine was still warm from an earlier drive but maybe not completely. I'll check again later but I believe those numbers to be accurate. I know some have mentioned a low idle problem but I've not seen it with my car yet.

OK, updated idle rpm numbers:
Engine fully warmed up with AC on (in "auto" where I always leave it) idle in park is 750 rpm. In drive with AC on it is 650 rpm.
Turned off AC, rpm stays at 750 in park, drops to about 500-550 in drive. Perfectly smooth idle under all conditions just like a Lexus should be!
Sorry to hear about the problems some are having; seems like it should be easy to diagnose and fix...

When the car is cold (parked over night):
1,100 in PARK
800 in DRIVE
When the car is FULLY warmed with nothing on (i.e. no A/C, no parking lights, no headlights, no radio, etc.):
800 in PARK
500 - 550 in DRIVE
Note: DRLs are on
When the car is FULLY warmed with the lights or A/C on:
800 in PARK
650 in DRIVE
1,100 in PARK
800 in DRIVE
