i would bet if you contacted the dealership parts manager he would be willing to get those wheels for you. wheels from the dealer are normally pretty spendy $$$$

It does make sense for the dealer not to swap the wheels off an existing 400h (basically deminishing the value of an existing car on the lot). But I wasn't expecting the dealer to do this. I was assuming (or better yet hoping) that the dealer would have some extra 400h tires back in their servicing area, available in case someone with a 400h needed a tire replaced (from how they kept trying to pitch the wheels and tire servicing package, one would think they have extra wheels/tires in back for immidiate repairs).
Well, either way, I do feel that this could have been made possible (even if it came down to them ordering the wheels direct from the factory). It just seemed that they didn;t want to go through the trouble..

jj- i didn't mean literally a swap. i meant take 400h wheels from their parts dept (or order it for the customer) and put them on the 350 he is buying. of course you cannot do a literal "swap" from one new car to the other.
for instance, i got chromes on mine. the dealer didn't do a literal swap, they ordered chromes for me and then took my old ones into their parts inventory.

Some people are saying that this is just a refresh until the MY09. When has Toy/Lex ever done a refresh with one year left? And where does this leave the 400h? It might make sense to not offer an 08 if the whole line is being updated in 09, bit as I mentioned, I dont see how that will happen. Anybody have clear info on this?
Toyota has officially announced that it'll unveil the 2nd-generation (2008) Toyota Highlander this coming Wednesday 7 February. It probably won't go on sale, however, until sometime between May and October 2007 as a 2008 model. For whatever reasons, Lexus apparently decided to sell the 3rd-generation RX as an early 2009, with sales starting around February or March 2008. That means the 3rd-gen RX may debut as early as the New York Auto show this April, or as late as the 2008 Detroit Auto Show in January '08 (or, in between, at this fall's Tokyo Auto Show). The early release of the 2008 RX350 and the minor facelift in its last year are a bit unusual, but not unheard of.

Such a vehicle had been rumored for a while as a sort of IS300 SportCross replacement, and was expected to sit on the Lexus IS platform. More recent rumors, however, have it, instead, as a Toyota RAV4 derivative.

Re. the new pics of the black bird's eye maple with grey interior, there's hardly any contrast between the black dash and the wood panels. You can't even tell there is wood.
