Default Order RX330 Today with Nudge Bar and Towbar

Hi everyone,

Just ordered my RX today. Magnetic Metallic Mica Blue with Ivory Interior, Sports Luxury Pack which basically adds ML Stereo, Nav, Reverse Camera. In Aussie we this in the only option we get. We can't get Air Suspension, 18" Wheels, turning headlight , laser cruise control (we get normal) or multi-panel moonroof. Everthing else comes in the standard model.
Delivery is around the 10th October.

Will post some pic's as soon as i get it as it will have the Lexus Nudge bar and towbar fitted.

Thanks for all your help and I am looking forward to driving a Lexus.

Cheers Firebird

Wow a 4 month wait? That's awhile to wait for a new car. But I guess it will be that much more enjoyable when it finally does arrive.

Firebird, congratulations on your order. Question for you: what's the "Lexus Nudge bar?"

It is like a Grill Guard and is made out of Stainless Steel. I have attached a picture from the brochure but is does not really show you much. When I get my car I will post some pictures.[IMG]

They cost $1000 AUD fitted which is about $650 USD.

Default Nudge Guard

I haven't done any checking here but is this a Aussie-specific option for tooling around in the Outback? Around town here in the U.S. I would think the main purpose would be to "nudge" the car ahead of you if they are not keeping up in traffic.

Same here. I sent the Lexus dealer the links ti WAAG and Manik as he has cutomers looking for more protection aganist Kangaroo's. The nudge bar finishes just below the number plate so it offer very little protection. More designed to protect the RX from those people that believe in touch parking.
