Got to agree with nopcbs, can't really be excited about these touchy fashion makeovers. Show us real technological features, and we will be really excited.
i think it was an engine. but thanks for the help.

Guys, please keep this forum polite. TC, I'm sure you don't want me to search through all your posts looking for typographical and grammatical errors? That's not what this forum is about.... I'll do some research where the Webster's guys hang out and send you a link.

Koolaidman, thank you for keeping your kool

McGrath Lexus of Chicago
1250 W. Division St

directions to the auto show

i know i should of takin an over all picture. but take note to the date of when my first post is and when the auto show starts. and also take note that the major difference from what ive seen are

front bumper
engine
trans

ppl has asked does it have push start. no it doesnt. and if u go to a local dealer. go up to a tech and ask him what years are indicated on the scanner. it shows 2007 and rx350 is listed.

and another thing i can call u out on. engine cover on the gs's are different than the 1 on the rx 350. the gs oil filler neck is on the bottom right. look at the picture i posted. its on the middle left.
Looks like koolaidman caught ya' speeding.....

Gentlemen, we've edited this thread for some of the more inflammatory remarks, but this is getting old. If we can't act like adults on this forum, there are more serious measures we can take. Please understand this is a community, not a confrontation; personal attacks are not allowed.

Thanks for your cooperation.

nothing much as of right now. from what i hear. that next update that they are going to do on the 400h is to put a econo button and power button.

as of right now 400h is deisgned for more power than mpg.
from the looks of it. looks like the 350 is goign to get better mpg. but i have to double check when i go to the auto show and get more details

Hi Koolaidman, you do mean the 350 has better mpg than the 330, not the 400h right?

if it gets more, they would have ultimately just killed 400h sales.

The only trouble I've read regularly about is on the 2003 RX-300 2WD versions with the rear spoiler option for some reason.

It tends to happen about 32 -35K.

Default Changes

Have they improved the heat distribution? How about a fix for the "D" lamp in the cluster? What about a better radio stereo combo? Im sure others have more improvements?
