Replying to: cammer2 (May 20, 2006 12:03 pm) I just test drove a pre-owned 2007 since we are looking for a 2nd vehicle to replace our older BMW. I'm a former Lexus owner (GX 470) that has always liked Lexus, especially when it comes to their almost mastery of in-car "info-tainment".   In a nuthshell, I felt the car had a very heavy and somewhat un-responsive feeling (in all driving modes). The power of the vehicle shines from 40-70 mph but getting there doesn't seem as publicized (0-60 in 5.2 seconds?!?). Has anyone else had this same experience?   My other concern/disappointment with the vehicle was tied to the interior (which isn't something that should happen with a $60k sedan). The wood (rosewood) utilized with the black interior package looks extremely cheap. I haven't had a chance to see the other color combinations (tan, grey) however I hope that the trim on these other vehicles looks more upscale. Can anyone comment on the trim appearance/quality for the tan/grey interior package?   Finally, the absence of SIRIUS satellite radio is a disappointment. I know there are conversion kits out there ($800-1,000 installed) that would enable the head unit on the vehicle to accept/display SIRIUS instead of XM however if i'm thinking of buying a new or used vehicle in this price range, SIRIUS should be a factory installed option.   In conclusion, I like the 450h concept however the execution seems a little flawed. Class up the interior a bit and also give me SIRIUS and I might change have come to a slightly different conclusion
