Default going thru some pics.........

I want a new RX, or GS, Infiniti M, or FX, or a E-class, or even a SL, but why should i get rid of this when there is really no reason to??? But after coming back from seeing the new GS, it made me realize that Lexus is taking quantum leaps with their new cars. Made me almost want to push my interior off a cliff after seeing that. I should stay away from dealers from now on.

I'm in the same boat as you. I love my RX, but I couldn't get the package I wanted at the time (Performance) so I'm looking at rims, getting an '05 RX, or the '06 IS. I totally love my RX, but when I see the Performance Pack, my mind starts racing (which is not good, 'cause if I want something bad, I'm a gonna get it!!?!) Then I remember my old IS and how sharp it looked, especially w/ the graphites, and how I could zip around corners... REPENT!!!!

Yes, doesn't it **** you off what is not available through Servco Lexus? I can't believe that nearly everything we couldn't get (Still no navigation though) in 04 we can now get in 05. It would have been sweet to get a performance package with 18" rims and air suspsnsion. We can now even get the rear seat entertainment DVD system. Oh well, I think my aftermarket A/V is better anyway. Never again will I buy the first year. I will now always get the 2nd year unless it turns out to be the exact same thing than maybe a used 1st year is okay.

Yes, I'm putting 20" rims on my RX330, but I sure do plan on upgrding to 22" later on. I can't believe how small 20" is starting to look. Those 22" rims fill the RX330 perfectly. Once the adjustable coil overs are released then I'll consider the 22" rims.

On a side note. I think I might get those red/clear tail lights, but what do you guys thing about the new tail lights in the RX400H? It is all LED with no red cylinder center section like the RX330. I kind of like it but not really. It just seems different, but I'm not sure if it is better. I'm sure it performs better, but I'm talking looks wise.

i think 20 is big enough, of course i might get 22s next time around, but before 20s look good too.

I sold my IS as soon as I could, then when it came time to order my RX, no options were avail... and I wasn't about to pay to fly to Cali, pay the higher sales tax, pay to ship the car back and pay another flight home... so I settled for what I have now.

Same story w/ the '06 GS300, we can't get the optional 18's. Who knows about the new IS either.
