I remember thinking the same thing also about the dual exhaust on the Venza vs. the 2010 RX. Also, the panoramic sunroof would look nice on the RX also.

No, you are not. I'm another.

I'm thinking a mid model change of incorporating LEDs to the headlights

I agree we are going to see subtle changes beginning 2012 or 2013. LED day time running lights and chrome door handles are some of the things we should see coming. I doubt there will be more power because such will likely come at the expense of fuel economy.

Any chance that DI will be added for the 2012 model year to improve MPG? I agree that LED daytime running lights will probably be added for 2012. Is September the most likely time we will see the 2012 on the dealership lots?

Hopefully Lexus will do the same as they did on the LX570 and add a heated steering wheel--on those cold mornings that plastic wood is freezing --Jeep GC now has it as does the Murano to name only 2....i'm not buying another until it does!

Default "Plastic Wood" Steering Wheel?

Just to clarify - you don't mean that the steering wheel is "plastic", right? See https://secure.drivers.lexus.com/lex...Steering-Wheel

Cool RX Factory

Is the RX factory up to speed in building the 2012 RX 450h and when will they be shipped? There is very little 2011 RX 450h on hand and contrary to beliefs they are loading these cars up with deaer accessories and charging over list. I can do better when the deal has a lot full of them, supply and demand.

No changes for 2012 I don't think anything will change till 2013.

There are 373 2012 RXs showing up on Cars.com. Needless to say they're available if you want one. Sewell is even listing that they have some.

All of the wood look in the RX is genuine wood. It was fabricated in Japan, not China.

Just to clarify.
