Air suspension or not?
Can u please tell me if the air suspension is better than the "regular" one?
I just tested RX450h with regular suspension and find it little soft... the air suspension is more stable? Better?
Do you think is better?
Thank You and sorry for my english
Not my language... 
PS; do you think the 2011 generation will come with " led daylights"? The 2010 doesn't have such a thing and I love the daylights leds... There is some "tuning" parts available after market for RX450h? (daylights)

Hi,
In the US we no longer have the option to have air suspension so I dont think anyone can comment on the ride for you. That said, I have a second generation RX330 with the air suspension, and I dont feel a huge difference. The only real advantage to me is that the car lowers itself when parked so that it is easier to get in and out. Also the car lowers at freeway speeds so that the car is more aerodynamic. You will probably have to test drive one that has air suspension and see if you like it.
While I do like these features, the noise that the car makes when it is rising is very loud and sounds bad. Its like a horrible whine, so try to notice that when you are test driving.
No word on the 2011 RX...
