Yes, you got it. This is the same indentation that runs below the door panels from the front door to the back as in this picture: http://www.netcarshow.com/lexus/2010...llpaper_17.htm

I like it

It's more sporty and modern. But some may still prefer the more curved and classic feel of the older model.

I just saw this type of panel on the Mazda 6.

It eliminates a distinguishable front bumper and makes it blend in more with the car.

edit: BMW X3 also has it.

2010 rx 350

I spent a lot of time over several days going from the 2009 RX 350 to the 2010 on the showroom floor. Hands down, the new model is an improvement in every way and detail-exterior and interior. I have never owned one and had the chance to buy either year. Bought the 2010 because of the lines and the new interior. Just my opinion.
