I did some extra research, and found this:

I do have to agree with that though. The new Mercedes & BMWs nowadays aren't like the reliable german tanks of yester years!
Spwolf: The RX400h isn't available down under till August 2006, the rumoured date. But that's if Lexus Australia decides to bring them in!
ck6speed: I don't find the RX330 plain looking either. The ML is also nice design & engieering wise, but it doesn't have that futuristic felling like the RX330. And the high quality standards is proven on the Lexus RX/ Toyota Harrier. On my dad's decision, you're right, I can't really force/ persuade/ beg my dad to change his choice.
Oh well, we'll see how will it turn out when the car comes on March or April 2006.
btw, I cried when I had to tell the lovely Lexus salesperson that my dad changed his mind & decided to go for the M-Class (Merc salesperson was kinda pushy in comparison.).
