Thanks to katzjamr for your always helpful and informative responses to my inquiries. As they say in the UK, always spot on. Dewey is right too that one can always count on something going wrong, but hopefully in my case it won't happen in the first 2K miles and it won't be debilitating or terribly unconformtable (i.e A/C going out) in any way. A couple minor defects I can handle.
 
I was wondering whether any trend of issues had arisen that I might get the dealership focused before taking delivery so as to lessen the chances of a problem arising while driving through the outback of the US western states. Due to these fine threads I have already raised the issue of the HID headlights being secured as best as possible. Don't want those ripped off when hundreds of miles from the nearest Lexus dealership. Any other reasonably possible problems of significance that might be unique to the RX or 400h that might jump out if Murphy's Law goes into effect?

Test drive the car. Several RH owners have had alignment problems. Some said it was computer related some said wheel alignment. They would pull one way or the other. Should be able to tell in a short test drive.

Sell them back to other RX owners on the black market. The HID you buy may be your own.....

There are many instances of stolen HIDs. Mainly the Acuras are stolen as some of them fit right into the Hondas.

Sincerely, Jane Doe Customer Satisfaction Representative Response (LCS Reps) 07/28/2005 02:25 PM Dear Mr. West: Thank you for contacting the Lexus Customer Satisfaction Department regarding the AWD RX 330 and the RX 400H vehicles. Lexus appreciates the time you have taken to communicate with us. I will research your questions and follow-up with you as soon as I have information regarding the air-conditioner in the RX 400H. If you have any further concerns, you can also reach the Lexus Customer Satisfaction Department at 1-800-255-3987, Monday through Friday, 5:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Pacific Time. Sincerely, Jane Doe Customer Satisfaction Representative Customer (WWest) 07/25/2005 02:07 PM Trying to decide between a new purchase, 2006 AWD RX330(350??) or RX400h. In watching the various comments in internet forums it appears that the RX400h is getting better highway MPG than city. 28+ highway vs lower than 24 city. Does the Rx400h have the c-best option to allow "economy" A/C mode as does the 04 and later Prius? In "normal" A/C mode the cooled airflow is remixed with heated airflow reducing the A/C efficiency dramatically and at the same time requiring heated airflow from the engine coolant. How often must the gasoline engine be run in the summer months to keep the coolant hot enough for "normal" A/C operation? How often must the gasoline engine run in order to keep the catalytic converter up to optimum operating temperature?
