Talking 300 over 330

Personally, I don't like the 330/400's tail lights. Makes it looks toyish and cheap. As for the roof rack, both models without them look like minivans, especially the 300. I've seen the 300 with no roof rack or spoiler, looks like an ugly Previa (which itself was ugly enough).

Spoiler improves RX300's look for sure. But I have to disagree on the roof rack.
I have never seen a RX300 or RX330 that uses its roof rack since Lexus is selling RX 6 years ago.
Personally I see roof racks increase wind noise, wind drag, and descreases mpg. If roof racks look good it should be a standard equipment for non-SUV, non-wagon vehicles as well.

The Previa's design is timeless. Toyota was the first automaker to design a "non-boxy" van, and the Previa was the outcome. Notice how almost all new generations of van after the Previa were much more rounded?
