A few notes on cameras quality between L and basic versions.
I've been driving a fully loaded 450h L version, with panoramic view monitor for a month now. Today, I had to leave my car at the service for a day (for first month check, as well as installing some extra stuff) and was given a base version of 450h as a temporary ride.
What immediately surprised me was that image quality coming from external cameras (both side-view and parking monitor) is noticeably lower than what I have on my L version. When I park, the image from back monitor is quite blurry and not nearly as crisp and clear as the one I have on my L version. Checked with my wife (just to make sure it's not just me) and she completely agrees as well…
So…*looks like models with panoramic view monitor might have muc better quality cameras. And I mean significantly better. As in great vs wtf-is-this-half-megapixel-camera-crap.
Just something to keep in mind when building/choosing your RX models. At least check and compare before you buy.

Default Volume
Any way to change the default volume for music from the Entune app( Pandora, iHeart...).
I noticed that it's always at Vol. level 22 when I turn it on. Even if I turn it down and turn off the car, it's always at 22 when I turn the car back on.

Wonder why macdee didn't just say "luxury" like everyone else then, especially since it looks like will be an RX350L and 450hL when they release the 3rd row seats. Just causes confusion

I will be picking my new ride this week and learned that the RX350 are manufactured in Cambridge, Ontario. I wonder if that's just for vehicles in Canada or all of North America.
If there are any related link with more information, please let me know. Thanks.

This breaks down which locations make which models, but it doesn't really indicate how many are exported and to where. Still interesting though.
Due to what I do for a living I was able to get a pretty in depth tour of Toyota Kyushu in Japan where they make a lot of Lexus vehicles. After seeing that facility run, I was pretty much sucked into Toyota and plan on jumping to Lexus as soon as I can.
