New Member from Italy
Hi all,
this is my first post in this fantastic group.
I'm from Monza in the north of Italy
My last car was a Mercedes Benz C32 AMG. Very fast with a good handling, but here there are too many speed traps and is very easy to have the licence retired.... so I decided to buy a slow but confortable car.
I have ordered one week ago my new RX 450h and will arrive in ten days. Black with Black interiors with luxury pack.
This is not my first RX. I had the first gen 6 year ago and my father have a GS 430. So I know the quality of Lexus brend.
It's hard to wait 10 days...
Thankyou for all the info I read here and if you have some questions about the european models ..... please ask

My town is very close to Milan. Monza is famous for the race circuit
http://www.monzanet.it/eng/default.aspx
http://www.monzanet.it/eng/default.aspx
Chevrolet used to sell an Opel Corsa called a Chevy Monza in Mexico that my uncle had for several years. So the name of the town always ringed in my head.
There were some older retired racers I met Hermanos Rodriguez raceway in Mexico City who had raced Monza and mentioned that the old Hermanos Rodriguez reminded them a bit of Monza. In fact, in this wikipedia article, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aut%C3%...Rodr%C3%ADguez
it mentioned, "The circuit has an extremely fast final corner (the peraltada) before a long start/finish straight, and thus reminded some of Monza; however, unlike Monza's parabolica curve, the peraltada curve is slightly banked, allowing even more speed through the corner. "
