#117 of 260 I saw the 2010 RX350 this past Sunday by maximafan Feb 17, 2009 (9:10 pm)
I got to see a 2010 RX350 this past Sunday. First, I thought the interior was nicer than the pics have been showing. I'm still on the fence on the exterior styling. I mean, it still looks a lot like the previous gen. model, but some of the angles are a little weird to me. I thought Lexus would add the split tailpipes like they've done with all the newer sedans, but they've stuck with the single tailpipe, and it's not even with the chrome tip like the 2004-2009 models. I wish they would have switched to the split tailpipes. I think it would have looked really nice! I'm not quite ready to give up my '07 RX just yet!!
#118 of 260 HUD? by bigboss001 Feb 17, 2009 (11:37 pm)
Is HUD included in the navigation package? An option? How much is it? Replies to this message: md_outback (Feb 18, 2009 9:32 am)

Replying to: tidester (Feb 17, 2009 1:50 pm) The only real shortcoming of the new F/awd ssystem is if you buy it and never have need for it. The new system is less complex and lighter in weight than the previous system and is most DEFINITLY FRONT TORQUE BIASED, only providing part time coupling to the rear driveline.   If you have experience with F/awd in a later model Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Mazda Tribute or even the new CX-7 the new RX and Venza are EXACTLY the same.

Replying to: wwest (Feb 18, 2009 8:56 am) So wwest, does this mean you think the AWD system in the new RX and Venza are better than the ones in the previous RX model years? Replies to this message: wwest (Feb 18, 2009 11:36 am) avery1 (Feb 18, 2009 4:57 pm) wwest (Feb 18, 2009 10:11 pm)

Replying to: bigboss001 (Feb 17, 2009 11:37 pm) A look at www.lexus.com shows the Heads-Up Display as a separate option for $1200, not included in any package. So we'll have to see how the new RXs start arriving at dealers to see how many will have HUD. I'm guessing that it will only come on models already equipped with a Navigation package, since part of the HUD includes turn instructions as well as vehicle speed. So that would put any model with HUD in the $48K and higher price range.

Replying to: avery1 (Feb 18, 2009 9:28 am) A definite improvement...   Still not as good as would be a R/awd or maybe even just a plain RWD but a most definite improvement over the previous version with a non-functional(***) VC, simple open center diff'l with TC as "backup".   *** Non-existent VC for the RX330 and more likely than otherwise also the RX350. Lexus will despute that for the RX350 but their own factory documentation puts the lie to that. And even if the RX350 does have a VC it will likely be just as non-functional as the ones in the '01 and up RX300's.

Replying to: wwest (Feb 18, 2009 11:36 am) So how does it compare with my '99 RX AWD? Replies to this message: wwest (Feb 18, 2009 10:11 pm)
#125 of 260 Re: well, I like it.2010 [avery1] by wwest Feb 18, 2009 (10:11 pm)
Replying to: avery1 (Feb 18, 2009 4:57 pm) Insofar as F/awd is concerned the '99 and '00 are fairly decent, but the lack of TC and VSC puts you on the short end. The 2010 will be a definite improvement overall.
#126 of 260 2010 RX350 Doors Design is Not for Me by toby16 Feb 21, 2009 (8:48 am)
I waited to see and buy one of 2010 RX350. I went to Canadian National Autoshow in Toronto this week and disappointed with the car door design. All door ground clearance is only about 11.5 inche while 2009 model has 16 inch. The door will be a problem for me since the door will hit snow bank and my driveway curves unless I park the car a good distance away from it. Furthermore, a good part of the rear doors is part of rear wheel fender. Dirt will be there all the time unless you keep wash them off. Because of this, I decided to buy 2009 and found a last car in one of dealership inventory, so I bought 2009 RX350 Pebble Beach Edition.
