Actually they didn't do this! That article is incomplete, misleading and looks a lot like click bait.
For the real truth and facts read here:

So the price drop is actually about $1,000 year to year for the same car comparably equipped.

As far as I can tell, there is a price drop, but not as significant as this article states.
The Hybrid RX base for 2017 had more things standard compared to the 2018.
A day before I got my 2017, the Lexus website had been updated with the 2018s. I built the car with the exact same equipment as the 2017 I was considering. The 2018 ended up being ~$750 less than the 2017.
I went ahead and pulled the trigger on the 2017 because of the good discount I was getting. Would have definitely waited for the 2018s to arrive of the price reduction was bigger!

less options equals less cost on the 450, simple as that. yes, the 10 year service would be nice.

I'm hoping that Lexus gets smart regarding the Enform Connect and Service pricing with existing owners prior to 2018 and offers substantially reduced future subscription rates. If not, I'll likely not renew any current subscriptions when they expire.

Well, price drop or not, but Toyota plans to go full electric by 2025. That's only 7 years away. Why buy a hybrid then? Might have some to do with showing price adjustments.

I think they stripped options to get the starting price point lower, if people were looking at a non nav 350, a 450 was like 5 or 7k more. Now people in the 50k or below also have the 450 option. Won't be a bad thing.
As far as plans, the way every regulation is being tossed in the trash, including the minimum mpg and other things, there might not be the all electronic push. Time will tell.
