Appreciate the insight here. So the lease on my 2020 RX expires January 2nd. I am going to lease the new 2023 model. What is the best way to handle this regarding timeframe and pricing?
Should I talk to a dealer now or wait until the 2023 model arrives at the dealer? I am concerned about committing too early and overpaying.
What are your thoughts?

The residual on the 2020 less than used car?, may be better off buying the 2020 outright.

May be best to buy it outright at the price stated in your lease and keep until the market for the new RX stabilizes. Even if a miracle happens and vehicles become widely available, the fact that it will be a new model will keep demand high.

An nothing on the 450h which is the one I care about. I'm anticipating it's going to be very frustrating, probably all the cars going to CA like the NX PHEV does right now.

First review I read - the 350h hybrid is "slow". I imagine that was to be expected with the lowest HP, weight of the hybrid system, plus the CVT. Waiting for more reviews to post.

Also noticed some decontenting, as in the door pockets no longer tilt inwards, as they have since day 1.

My local dealer proudly proclaims that its namesake founder doesn't believe in markups. What BS! Sure, they don't have a pure dealer markup, but they have useless dealer-added "options" that are required. (Nitrogen, fabric protection, tinting, etc)

My 2016 450h isn't fast, but it's certainly adequate. I can pass without a lot of drama and get out of the way when needed. I suspect the 350h will be similar. The electric motor helps actually give some initial grunt.

I dislike that practice too, but at least you get something for it. Even if it's not stuff you want. Better than handing over pure profit.

That said, C&D reviews every product like its a sports car - and buyers in this segment aren't, for the most part, buying a performance car.
