Replying to: andy3 (Oct 27, 2005 10:51 am) You can't just compare MPG. The RX 300 (and 330), while a fine vehicle relatively speaking, is a granny car compared to the 400h when it comes to power and performance.   Plus, many people misstate the price differences among the Lexus models, forgetting that even the base version of the 400h basically is fully loaded (options that would add many thousands to the price of a 300 or 330).   To each his own.

Replying to: stevedebi (Oct 20, 2005 12:07 pm) I don't have a link at my fingertips (shouldn't be that hard to find on google or yahoo) but yes, it is well known that the Ford hybrid vehicle uses basically a FIRST generation Toyota hybrid system (ala the original Prius; the newer Prius is 2nd generation, the 400h third generation). And yes, I heard from several sources that there was a patent dispute and Toyota (being the leader in this area and holding basically all relevant patents) licensed some of its hybrid patents to Ford.

It is in court.   A Toyota spokesperson confirmed the lawsuit, but said that company policy prevented comment about pending litigation.   Solomon alleges that the hybrid transmission drive in the Toyota Prius and Highlander infringes a number of claims contained in its U.S. Patent No. 5,067,932.   hybrid lawsuit

#104 of 550 Lexus RX 400H Leasing by life98_98 Nov 29, 2005 (9:14 pm)
I received a price quote in NJ for a 400H with all options except rear entertainment for monthly lease of $558 and out of pocket (1st month, bank fee, MV/doc, tire tax, cap cost) of $6000, and MSRP quoted was 49,930. This is my first time leasing and not sure if this is a good deal I am getting… Any info would be appreciated. Replies to this message: mobym (Dec 12, 2005 6:46 pm) life98_98 (Jan 24, 2006 7:32 pm)

Replying to: cohenfive (Nov 21, 2005 8:19 pm) Just bought (yesterday) a RX400h in Oxnard for nearly $2000 below sticker. We just walked in, test drove one of the five they had sitting around and bought it. All we did was ask them to match an email offer extended by Lexus of Thousand Oaks. There is no reason to wait and pay sticker, they are available below if you go to the right spot. Replies to this message: cessna2 (Dec 04, 2005 9:34 pm) navguy1 (Dec 16, 2005 2:26 pm)

Replying to: craigwblake (Dec 04, 2005 8:28 pm) Congratulations! I bought mine in Bakersfield CA Nov.15th. We were on the waiting list for about 2 weeks. I only received a $500 discount and paid cash. Bummer! We live in the Central Coast and just as easily gone to Oxnard. The only real negative in the buying experince was the Finance lady who would not let up on trying to sell the extended warranty, she gave me the worst migraine,and actually convinced me the 400h was going to fall apart when it left the lot. I almost didn't buy the 400h. The other problem is my Motorola Razor bluetooth phone won't put numbers from phonebook into car bluetooth correctly. Going to exchange for new phone this week. I wish they would of offered cargo mat that others received. Replies to this message: navguy1 (Dec 16, 2005 2:26 pm)

Replying to: life98_98 (Nov 29, 2005 9:14 pm) I'm in Princeton and was quoted 621/mo with 12K miles/yr with 5700 down, so your deal sounds better. Which dealer do you use? Replies to this message: life98_98 (Jan 24, 2006 7:32 pm)

Replying to: cessna2 (Dec 04, 2005 9:34 pm) FYI - Sony Ericcson (SE) cell phones are the only Bluetooth compatible handsets that will transfer the entire phone book with no hassles or issues. If you dont have a SE cell phone borrow one to send the entire phone book to the vehicle's onboard Bluetooth system. There after you will be able to add individual contacts one at a time.   First pair the SE with the vehicle. Extract the SIM card from your cell phone and place it into the SE GSM phone. Please note the telephone numbers must be on the card not in the phone memory otherwise the contacts will not be transferred.   Next follow the instructions in the SE owners manual and your are set. Return the SIM card to your phone. Good luck!
