Did you have the body side molding added or was it that way from the dealer or factory before you made the deal?

Congrats! If you don't have frequent rear seat passengers, you won't miss the rear seat option. I'm in the same boat and that hasn't been an issue for me.

Is the trim around the windows chrome or body paint color? In this pic, they look the color of the car. If so, that is very cool! Adding some colored calipers would be hot on this car.

Finally picked my 350 Lux AWD in Eminent White Pearl with Peppercorn up - now off to the shop for Tint, Ceramic and PPF! . Coming from a GS 350, and I'm adjusting.

I got my RX350 in Nov 2022 and love it. The technology has a pretty steep learning curve.
2023 Nori Green, with Luxury package, with every available option, e.g., Mark Levison sound, 14-inch Nav, etc

This is my 4th RX (2007, 2014, 2016 and this 2023)

I hate the Nav system. The map doesn't show me the scale (300-ft, 1/4 mile, 8 miles, etc). I don't have the screen that used to show the next five exits on the freeway. Showing Rest Areas was important to me.

The seats aren't as comfortable as my previous RXes.

The side door pockets are pretty useless. The don't expand, like the older models. If I put sonething in, the pockets are too narrow for me to even get my hand in to retrieve anything.

It takes some time to get accustomed to the 4-cylinder turbo. It gets good gas mileage but requiring Premium gas offsets any mileage savings. I usually just put in mid grade.

The car handles very well and I love the Parking Assist feature for parallel parking.

I love the car but not as much as I loved my first RX (2007)

Default Martin from Fort Worth

I’m from Fort Worth Texas. I upgraded my wife’s 10 year old Rav 4 in October to a new ‘22 RX350L Luxury. We love it. In fact, I loved it so much I upgraded my ‘08 Highlander to a new ‘23 RX350 Luxury just two weeks ago.

Long time Toyota owner (since 2001), first time Lexus owner. 2023 RX350 Premium Plus, eminent white pearl with birch interior. The car is beautiful and comfortable...but coming from a 4Runner, I am having a really rough time adjusting to the 4-cylinder. Hoping I manage to get used to it, I don't want to regret my purchase! Have had my car since the middle of March, figured after 3 months I would be okay with it, but...<SIGH>

Picked up my wife's 350h Luxury in Nori Green Pearl/Black today. She looks at the car like she used to look at me

120 VAC Inverter
Cold Weather Package
Digital Key
Digital Rearview Mirror
40/20/40-Split Power-Folding/Reclining Rear Seats
Heated and Ventilated Rear Seats
Premium Triple-Beam Headlamps
Pano Roof
Mark Levinson Sound
Power Rear Door/Kick Sensor
Advanced Park
Pano View Monitor
Traffic Jam Assist
Quick Charge Cables
Door Edge Guard
All Weather Floor Liner with Cargo Mat

We got it 11 weeks after order because someone at a sister dealership backed out.

I will post some pics, but I drove it home and first impressions are that it is everything we signed up for - comfort, room, quiet, and fuel economy. It looks much better in person, and we are beyond pleased with the Nori Green Pearl. I need to spend more time with the triple-bean lows but the high beams are something else. . .
. .
It's going to take some getting used to the layout and controls after almost thirty years of driving seven Accords. It's like sitting down in front of a Mac for the first time after working in Windows for 30 years, or vice versa. I've gained a newfound respect for how easily Jeff Goldblum's character hacked the alien spacecraft in Independence Day.
