Luxury option & Heads Up Display is great
The leather upgrade in the luxury option is much softer and the seat extender in the front is great on the legs as it takes some pressure off your knees by extending the seat longer in the front. I feel the HUD makes for safer driving as you are now looking out at the road all of the time. How does eveyone else feel about the nicer leather. If you have not checked it out I would suggest you get in a RX that has one first and notice the big difference in the quality of it.

Yes, I would like to see it too. Just take an image at night at maybe -1EV or -2EV to give us an idea of how it looks. I hear it looks suspended past the windshield and would like to know how they did that!

just finished a 700 mile trip and the HUD worked great showing the turns ahead as well as the huge display on the map screen showing even more detail. I noticed the all season tires do tend to pick up road surface noise on certain types of pavement more than my LX470 but it also is a little closer to the road than the LX was. All in all it was a great trip and was pretty comfortable for the long ride. 25 MPG on the trip and it only had 91 miles on it when we started so we hope to see that improve as we get a few more miles on it.I still miss a coin holder every time we went though a drive-thru but I am hoping to fix that with a aftermarket one when i return home. small detail!!

I thought the mileage was pretty good considering we were driving about 70-80 most of the time. Going thru Atlanta with the traffic the Nav was cool as it showed the road conditions with red, yellow and green outlines by the roads and the nav even talked to us without our asking about traffic issues and road problems as we drove straight thru the downtown I-75 section.

If this is the true setup, it's better than the one I saw on BMW. And, I believe Lexus also allows the user to adjust its height and brightness, right?
This is the great feature, but it's hard for most of ppl here to get it. Lots of dealers don't have this car...
