Agree 100%. The running boards made all the difference for my 5’4” wife with her new hip. I usually just step over them and I am 5’8” tall. And yes, I think they look great too.

Can you all tell me something? I really wanted to plug in, and i guess it will come eventually.. ..Is the F Sport version ....hard to explain, I guess a stiffer ride (rougher ride) than the regular suspension? Guess I prefer cushier ride..

I might be wrong here, but i think Model S is in a much higher price class than an RX and as such the driving characteristics will not be comparable.
Pricewise RX 450h+ should be closer to a model Y. Not to say model Y is slow, but much smaller and less refined, based on having a RX and a model Y within our extended family.

in Canada Model Y starts at $84K. RX hybrid starts: $60K; NX 450h+ (Plug-in) starts: $60K. Also, NX to RX differential is about $10K; by that math RX 450h+ should land around $70K CAD, which is still much cheaper than a Model Y.....
RX 500h is meant to compete with BMW M series and Mercedes AMGs, not Tesla.

Given that US NX450h+ pricing is around 58k to start, the RX450h+ should be directly in the ballpark of Model Y pricing.

Base Model Y hasn't been 56k in the US for a while. It's 63k USD to start for white on black. Don't be fooled by their "Price after potential gas savings" listed on the web site.

500h fully loaded will be in the 80s.
Those are prices without markups

In any case, the Model Y equivalent for Lexus should be the RZ450e anyway, not the RX.

US Pricing likely takes into account that the NX450h+ (and likely the RX450h+) still qualifies for the $7,500 Income Tax credit for you guys. Once the credit runs out for Toyota/Lexus, there's a good chance they might adjust their pricing. But it's all speculation at this point.

In terms of pricing, maybe they’re finalize the paperwork with the government in terms of rebate on the plug in. Who knows.
I just washed and detailed my ‘17 F sport this morning and it’s still one of the most unique and good looking suv on the road. I find.

Maybe Lexus working on giving the 450h+ more power to differentiate it from the NX450h+? I would think they would want their larger SUV plug-in to be just as quick as the NX plug-in, but if it has the exact same setup then it's bound to be slower.

I think the plug in hybrid will be slightly different spec than the NX450H+ plug in. Otherwise, they would’ve posted it.
