I'm relieved that I bought a proven 4th Gen RX instead of the new 5th Gen RX. I hear the new 2023 RX500h models are already having transmission issues!

That is weird. The 500h comes with an 8 speed trans, the 350h has the bullet proof CVT,,,AND the yet to be released 2024 TX 550h comes with a v6 and a CVT. Why would they ever stop using a CVT

i remember buying a new 1984 Fiero, their first year of production. It was nothing but trouble. After five years of ownership i gave (donated) it away.

Lexus and Toyota are ditching their bulletproof NA V8s and V6s in favor of new small turbo engines. What could possibly go wrong...LOL
Don't blame them though...blame "save the planet" cult that is getting completely out of control.
