Deal breaker really? Equipped with a digital Speedo might be a non-starter for me. I hate them.

My 1984 Mazda 626 had a digital speedo, no big deal - it's not an advancement of design where you expect all cars to have them, it's just different.

I would have thought if it was such a major issue for you you would have checked that feature availability before buying.

You can buy add-on digital speedos but would look crap I think in a Lexus.

If you really need the digital speedo you need to buy the F-sport model. F-sport are the only models that come with that option in both the rx350/450h.

REALLY? You bought the unit without taking a look at it or even worse not taking a drive test and didn't know it doesn't have a Digital Speedo?

JMHO, might we be dealing with a troll here? Or maybe just sarcasm?
