Default 2005 and 2006 RX330 Horsepower

According to the specs on the Lexus website, the 2005 RX330 has 230HP, and the 2006 RX330 has 223HP. Is this correct? Or, are the numbers reversed? Thanks.

The method for calculating horsepower changed for 2006. I don't recall the specifics, but it applied to everyone's 2006 models. A search will provide more details, as this was discussed before the 2006 came out.
